I feel for you, Lulita. I lost 9 pounds during my two weeks of induction, and since then just 3 pounds in 6 weeks. Argh!
You can see I'm pretty new at this myself, but from what I've gathered from more experienced heads on this forum, sometimes the problem is that you're not eating enough fats, or even enough carbs.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can now dive head first into a pint of Haagen Daz ice cream, but you can make sure you're putting butter on your veg, and olive oil on your salad, mayonnaise on your tuna, etc.
And maybe bump up your carbs a bit, another cup of salad or vegetables won't hurt, and could push you into burning more fat.
Also, are you exercising? That's very important. Maybe walk around some of the hills around Port Moody!
Good luck! Perseverance is the key!
