You only lose an average of 10% of what you need to lose in induction. I only lost 4 pounds. The weight loss has been slow, but steady for me. After induction, I would usually lose a pound or two one week then go a week with nothing, then another pound or two. In contrast, the closer I have gotten to goal, the more my weight fluctuates up and down. I was between 129-131 for about a month before it started moving down again.
