Hey Greg, I just wanted to offer some words of support and encouragement. The weight loss you've accomplished already is no small feat, especially considering your special circumstances, so be very proud of that!
I was always pretty fit and not overweight until I got pregnant and had a rough pregnancy, and even rougher time post partum. 6 months after having my daughter, I was heavier than I was when I was pregnant with her. That weight was with me for several years before I shed 40 pounds. I have always loved working out. Even when I was quite heavy, I lifted weights regulary and ran. I just had to get my diet in check.
I didn't do anything fancy. I just ate "clean" no refinded or white carbs what so ever. Whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes. Chicken breast, tuna, salmon and turkey became nearly my sole source of protein (I gotta have me a good steak every now and the). Fat free yogurt (with no sugar added, lots of them say fat free, but are loaded with sugar) is also good. Healthy fats are crucial, and help keep the apetite in check. I got those from avocado, walnut and almonds. And lastly, fresh fruit and veggies. A salad before lunch and dinner really cuts back on how much of the more calorie dense foods, and fills you up. They key was getting a good balance of protein, carbs and fat in each meal. Protein digests slowly, so if you eat protein with every meal, you will feel full longer. And, I never add salt to anything. Sweets is every once in a while for something special, and just a tase usually. I also cut out all sodas, even diet.
Sorry if that is redundant, and I'm sure you are doing a lot of it already. I just wanted to share the real life, no fad, diet that had become my lifestyle.
Stick with it! You've come a long way thus far. There is more to come. Don't get discouraged if you reach a plateau, it happens to nearly everyone at some point, sometimes more than once.
