B.....I am by no means an expert on Atkins. I've been in induction for six days. I'm still reading the book! Unfortunately I have not measured myself yet, which I need to do really soon. I'm thinking that a half-inch loss would be pretty good results for the induction period. I think I read in the book that average weight loss during induction for men is 8 pounds and 6 pounds for women. I'm wondering if you're drinking your 64 ounces of water everyday and if you kept your carb count at 20 for induction. Like I said, half inch sounds good to me! I'm sure there are mentors on here that could answer your question more thoroughly. Good Luck!
