I will admit it!

I'm not giving it 110%. Maybe 75%. I eat Protein most of the time but still have plenty of carbs. I rarely exercise. I do write my foods down and drink maybe half of my Water each day. I complain I'm not losing any more weight. (Maintaining though) I know what I need to do. I guess I'm not willing to give it more. I have 18 lbs to go till my goal. It does get much more difficult the closer to goal I get. Hopefully I can get some motivation from you guys. Please help me!!

It is way more difficult the further out we get. Can you attend a local support group? Sometimes surrounding yourself with other people going through the same stuff can help.

You've recognized what is contributing to your lack of losing and getting to goal. So, now all you have to do is make the effort. I realize that is easier said than done, but maintenance isn't any easier in my opinion. Maintenance is where the "real work" comes in because all of those bad habits that got us fat creep back in.

Get back on a meal plan, go back to doing what you were doing to lose weight. If you have to do a carb detox, and then substitute Protein rich/dense foods for all the carbs.
