I have plateau'd now and can't seem to lose the last 7 pounds I wanted to to make my target weight. I'm even in danger of starting to put it back on again as my exercise levels have dropped due to a number of factors, including "tennis-elbow" in my left arm. I don't know what the solution is either, except to stop drinking, and right now I can't see that happening.

Congrats on losing 23 pounds / 14 stone 9 / 10.5kg!
It's comforting in its way to hear that others have exactly my stumbling blocks, but it also means there are no easy fixes which I knew anyway. With the vino, I do think I need to go on a wine fast for a bit, and I manage one every now and then, but I miss it. And unlike the nuts, it's not as if I can just get it out of the house, either.
As for the exercise, while I don't have an issue at the moment, I'm having eye surgery at the end of the month which will slow me down for a bit; I hope not for too long. In any case, exercise gets harder heading into the fall, especially since I'll have to switch to swimming indoors which is far less convenient (and appealing). It won't be near daily any more. Hmm.
