First, a huge congrats on the weight loss you’ve achieved so far!! That’s amazing.
To get back on track it’s always good to start by writing down everything you’re eating and drinking and keeping a log of your calories, carbs, fats and protein. Do this for EVERYTHING. It may feel like overkill but it’s the only way to see what’s going on.
