    Keep it up. If stop then you have to start again and that's harder than if you just keep going.

    Weight loss usually is faster at the beginning.
    4 lbs per week is extremely aggressive.

    As I read your post, since you were posting significant losses, you were riding a feel good wave, now it's dying out. You could be one of the small minority that can charge your way to a 60lb loss and make it stick, but a lot of people try it and few succeed.

    Actually, motivation is overrated in WL. What's needed is determination. If you read this board a lot, you find person after person wrecked by their own brain. Usually over the issue of how long it actually takes to lose. If you are tracking faithfully, you will win in the end. If you are still losing, I don't think I'd mess with anything. But have you redone your numbers to take your 25lb loss into account?

    Be happy with what you've achieved so far. Keep your goal in mind, it will come.

    When desired possible to edit your profile & fill in your goals, motivation.

    If needed, possible to look at the profile once in a while to stay focused on reaching your goals.

    A wish stays a wish without a plan, A wish becomes real with a plan.

    Don't turn back now you have come too far! For the last 25lbs, and they will come off slower, set smaller goals and see if that helps.

    Wow nice work!!! You have totally got this!! It might help to try mixing it up a little, you could try a new exercise like running or cycling or a workout program. Don't give up, we are all rooting for you, it may be harder now but it's so worth it.

    Your weight loss needs to slow down... it was too fast to begin with. What's more important- to get the weight off *now* or to get the weight off? While habit & determination are more important than motivation, you may find yourself more motivated if you approach your weight loss in a more sustainable way. :)
