Anyone lose significant weight after 2nd anniversary?
I recommend you join the Bites and Vites thread and post there every day to be accountable. You'll find good support there as well as good low-carb ideas.

I don't really understand if you still had about 66 pounds to lose why you haven't been low carbing it for the past year+. That was your prime weight loss time and the number one thing us DSer's know is low carb, high protein, lots of fluids!
I am sure your DS will still work; however, it is going to take a lot of self control with your carbs. In my opinion your looking at needing to be under 50 grams of carbs per day and above 150 grams of protein.
So thankful for my DS! 1/20/2012 - SW 290/CW 155 - 1 year to lose, 1.5 years and counting maintaining!

I follow a low carb diet most of the time ****asional slip ups ) and manage to hold onto my weight loss but I know If I went long term loose with the carbs I think I would regain so much.
Don't despair, we're not beating you up for not low carbing in the last year but its time to cut those carbs girlie!!
I agree that posting on the vites & bites thread is gonna help you, put at the top of the post that you are trying to go low carb to lose the last 45lbs , that way if anyone can see where you can cut some more they will feel OK mentioning it to you!!

In regard to the gluten issues. Ditto again. The vast majority of us ARE gluten sensitive. I am the poster child for gluten intolerance.

Case in point, I'm almost 2 years out. I'm at a normal BMI and pretty much leveled off about 6 months ago. My husband was away for a week on business, and I got busy with work myself and didnt feel much like cooking. For almost a week I had a protein shake for dinner. I changed nothing else in my daily eating patterns other than that. By the end of the week I had dropped 4 more pounds.
PS, they came back once I started eating again, but then again I'm not a big carb watcher. I say that because I'm happy where I am, but I also know how easy it would be to drop a few more pounds if I just cut them out.
