Welcome! Yeah, don't worry about the extra pound. It's probably water weight. I know it's discouraging though. It's to the point where I don't weigh anywhere around TOM because I know the scale will be up. I also don't weigh but once every week or two because the normal variances we all have was driving me crazy! I am pretty much staying at induction levels of carbs and I am almost 4 months into the diet. I don't call it induction anymore because I am eating some foods that aren't allowed on induction and was told by someone here that when you do that reguardless of what your carb intake is, you are in OWL. So I am in the OWL phase but for the most part keeping carb levels at induction level. Congratulations on your success and we are really happy to have you join us here. This forum is addictive but it's full of info and support. Check in often, okay?
