I am taking the below from another post to preface my question.. I asked te question before, but with the numerous responses to the other email thread, i was afraid my question would be lost in the shuffle... here goes:

***Atkins says what is normal is 10% of the weight you need to lose during induction and then 5% each month after that. With 28 more lbs to lose that would be 1.4 lbs this month, 1.3 lbs the next month and so on.***

My question is, is the 1.4, 1.3lbs loss weekly or monthly? If it is monthly, it is very discouraging. I have roughly 30lbs to shed and was hoping to at least lose 20 by May, but if I go by this 1.4 loss per MONTH it would only amount to 4.2lbs by May.. hardly close to my goal. Could I be misunderstanding the above quote? Is the 1.4lb rate per week? I have been on induction 3 weeks and am already getting very discouraged at my slow loss.

Thanks so much guys!
