    Pure and simple truth: Motivation comes from within. It's quite common to have that motivation flag as time wears on doing the same things. You need to decide WHY you're doing it and, hopefully, the answer is enough to keep you going. If it isn't, though, there's nothing wrong with taking a break. Ease the restrictions and eat at maintenance for awhile. Allow yourself the extra calories each day and see if you have what it takes yet to maintain what you've lost so far. Keep your eye on the scale and be sure it doesn't start moving in the wrong direction, though. At some point, whether it's an arbitrary date you set yourself or you find your motivation again, get back into the diet and re-dedicate yourself to reaching your goals.

    Not had that problem in years but when I first lost weight (60lbs) it took me like 7 months and at about the 4th month I hit a hard wall.

    I know people are going to hate me saying and I am not suggesting you do this at all *wink wink*, but this is what worked for me.

    Me and my girlfriends brother (who had also been cutting for ages) went and bough 4 pots of pringles, 2 ben n jerrys, 6 cans of beer, 2 bag of doritoes, haribo, shortbread, pizza and a bag of doghnuts.

    Went at it like an animal, messed up probably 15k cals but by god it did the trick. Was so satisfied and refreshed mentally and physically lol. Felt brill and smashed the rest of my first cut with ease.

    ... and they all lived happily ever after. The End. :smiley:

    Oh forgot to mention the choclolate, two slabs of dairy milk something or other I think it was.

    I feel better when I'm taking control of things in life that I want to change like my health and fitness. Take charge and affect change vs being affected by things that we've let get out of control. It's easier said than done and takes a few days to start noticing little results.
