I was so excited to lose 7 pounds on induction (2 weeks). Since then (over a month) I've only lost 1 pound. In fact, I keep fluctuating between 139.8 and 142.3. I just can't seem to nudge the scale. I've tried drinking more water, upping my activity, etc. to no avail. The only foods I've added to induction list are strawberries (never more than 1/2 cup), sunflower seeds, and the occasional BITE of SF bar. My clothes actually feel tighter than they did a few weeks ago.

I guess this could be that I only have about 10 pounds to go, but I sure would like to break through this barrier! The days I weigh the least are when I've not eaten anything after 7, but I go right back up again the next day (temporary loss).

Here's an average day:

Breakfast: 1 lg egg scrambled with spinach/zucchini/bok choy & 2 slices of bacon OR two sausage links (no skin) and 2 strawberries.


Lunch: Leafy Green Salad with tuna or ham and 2 strawberries.

Mid-Afternoon; Defaf iced coffee with half-n-half.

Dinner: roasted chicken, asparagus

Snack: bite of SF choc bar, pepperoni slices with melted mozzarella cheese

Only beverage is water other than the defac iced coffee, which I had on induction and lost weight anyway.

Anybody?
