I'm glad these ruts are normal. My first 9 days of induction I lost 10 lbs (218 to 208). I could'nt believe it! I figured I would be well under 200 by Thanksgiving at this rate. Well I've stayed exactly between 208 and 210 in the two weeks since that weigh in. I think it's all the water and weight lifting I've been doing. The fat still seems to be coming off so I'm just gonna keep hanging in there!
