I have been hanging at 140 for about 6 weeks now. I am still eating low-carb but I've been far from an . I am calling it a "voluntary stall" because really I needed to see that I can do this long term. And I needed time to adjust how I see myself. I lost 20 pounds and quit smoking within 2 months.

I have exactly maintained the 140... no daily fluctuation. Isn't that weird? Without trying too hard. But I am finally ready to see the scale move again, so I will be restarting induction next week.

Your bike tour sounds like a blast. If you are active and your BP and lipids are healthy, I don't see how your doctor can insist you lose more. But it sounds like you are on the right track anyway.
