I am 7lbs from my goal weight (5'7") and I seem to have lost my focus. I am still LC'ing but am not eating regularly and eating too much, calorie wise, when I do. I don't understand what has happened. Even though my start weight says 191, I was actually at 196 (mid-Jul '03) when I started Atkins, and the weight has been slow to come off. This hasn't been easy and I can't understand why I have gotten so sloppy. I thought the weight would be off in a year. At the rate I am going it will take another year to get the last 7 lbs off. Is this loss of focus something that is fairly common when you get this close to your goal weight? I feel so much better, look so much better and maybe have gotten discouraged because if the loss was slow before, it has barely budged in the last couple of months. And I don't seem to care. That is what bothers me the most. I am afraid I will start gaining and not care about that either. Can anyone lend a hand?

Thanks
