Most people lose a lot of weight in the first week or two, then stall for a while. I personally lost 15 pounds during the first two weeks of Induction, then NOTHING for 6 weeks after that! Yes, it was frustrating, but I stuck with it, and things eventually starting moving again on their own.

Make sure you're following the plan properly, which includes 3 cups of veggies per day, and just stick with it. Things will keep moving. Heck, I'd LOVE to lose 6 pounds in 4 weeks! Patricia's suggestion of more fat is a good one. Make sure you're eating a lot of butter, mayo, and olive oil (sounds counter-intuitive, I know). And try to hit close to 20 carbs a day — less than that is not healthy.

Stick with it, all of you! You're doing great.
