Hello! The scales are enough to drive a person insane.. I have given mine the name Satan actually..lol Anyway, you are doing great. I get discouraged too,but then I remember that I lost more on this plan in one week than I lost in a month on low fat. And if you are not going up in weight that's even better. I have been reading so many journals and women especially go up and down day to day even. Good Luck to you. Patience is hard,but think of the outcome.
