Before you give up, try L-glutamine to fight your sweets cravings. I don't think you'll find WW any better- You still have to restrict what you eat, exercise, and put forth the effort to stick with it. I don't think a change of diets will make the difference- only an attitude adjustment will. Look how much you've already lost with the low carb plan. Look how close to your goal you are. Are you willing to risk throwing all that away? We all get discouraged some days, but that doesn't mean give up. Here's a poem I have up on my fridge that helps me when I'm feeling sorry for myself and having a rough day:
Don't Whine
Today I saw a lovely girl with golden hair,
envied her & wished I were so fair.
When she rose to go, she hobbled down the aisle.
She had one leg, wore a crutch & a smile.
Oh God forgive me when I whine,
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.
Then I stopped to buy some sweets.
The lad who sold them had such charm.
I talked with him- my being late was no harm.
As I left, he said to me,"You've been so kind.
You see,"he said,"I am blind."
Oh God forgive me when I whine,
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.
Later, I saw a child with eyes of blue.
Watching others play, not knowing what to do.
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He stared ahead, he couldn't hear.
Oh God forgive me when I whine...

So my point is try to focus on the positive, not the negative. Don't give up with your goal so close. I hope this helps. Good luck.
God Bless,
