<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

A bit of background... I'm a 31/F, made changes in March 2011 (at around 200lbs, 5'5") to better my life.  Lifestyle changes, diet changes, quit my job to go to school.  Everything is fabulous and going well.  Since then, I have lost 40lbs (thank you r/loseit!) and feel fantastic.  

*However*... I still have some work to do.  I'm at 160 currently, still have around 20lbs to lose.  Around October of last year was the first time someone said to me, "You're looking really great.  I can't believe how much weight you've lost!"  and since then... I just stopped.  I haven't lost a pound since October, but I haven't gained either.  I'm doing well with maintaining, but I feel like I've lost the motivation to be more strict with my calorie counting and exercising.

It feels like as soon as someone noticed (without a prompt) that I've made progress, I just kind of... gave up.  I don't know where my motivation went, but I sure do miss it. :s  Anyone else have this problem?  How did you conquer it?

<bot>: Have lost 40lbs.  Someone complimented me on my progress, and I suddenly lost my motivation to continue.  What do?
