Hi 94513--

I'm not really sure what your expectations were coming into this WOE, but it looks to me like you are right on track. Typical weight loss for Atkins dieters is 10% during their 2-week Induction, then 5% in each month thereafter.

For the 50-pound loss you targeted, you would have lost 5 pounds in July (Induction), and 2.5 pounds each for the months of August and September. That works out to 10 pounds total loss through the end of September...and your numbers show you about a month ahead of the average.

Congratulations on your excellent progress. God knows it can be difficult to spend several weeks watching the needle on your scale apparently glued to the same number...but very few people experience weight loss at a constant, predictable rate. When your body has made the necessary metabolic adjustments to compensate for your loss, you will resume your downward cycle. That's the way it works for everyone...and it's going to work that way for you, too!
