I'm hope you can all help me come up with some realistic weight loss goals. i started the Atkins Diet a 5 weeks ago and have lost 5 pds. I am still in the induction phase. I have decided to remain in the induction phase because i seemed to go into an immediate stall. I lost 4 pds the first week but then I have been flucuating between 4-5 pds ever since. I have loss 3 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my hips, 1 from my thighs, and 1/2 inch from my upper arm. I am wondering when I should move pass induction. I did try a week ago but ended up gaining a pd. I dropped back to induction and it came right off. But I am worried I may never be able to move pass induction and I know that is not a realistic way for me to eat for the rest of my life. I guess i am just looking for people with similiar experience and how you progressed through the phases.
