Your weight with fluctuate greatly from each time you weigh yourself. I use the scale to see if I am retaining water. It takes time to really lose and put on weight, it is probably you just retaining water.

Most of the weight lost in the induction phase is water weight for most people.

If you're doing things right as Dr. Atkins advices, it will work. Be careful of salt and such. Bacon stalls me, so I stopped eating it.. as I read it also stalls some other people on the forums.

You learn about your body and how you respond to different things. You'll adjust things about how and what you eat as you learn how you will respond to them. At least that is my personal experience so far.
