My suggestion is to ditch the Atkins bars and shakes, stay with whole foods as much as humanly possible. Your profile says you're eating NO carbs which is not what the plan calls for.... you should be eating at least a large salad every day or a salad and a serving of high-nutrition vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, etc) for maximum results from your induction program. Are you drinking at LEAST 64 oz of water every single day?

FYI, you're already ahead of the weight loss curve.... you can expect to lose 10% of your desired weight loss during induction and you've already lost more than that. After induction you can expect 5% per month. It is simply a fact that the closer you are to goal, the slower it comes off. Your body also may choose a different weight as its "ideal weight" than your idea of what that is....and it may stay there for quite some time, no matter what you do. If you hang around this board long enough or read enough about the science weight loss and metabolism, you'll learn more about that concept. I'm not saying that to discourage you, but rather to help you have more patience with your body.

Hope this helps!
