Don't give up and don't worry about the scale. A week and a half into Induction, I was down 14.5 lbs. Then I gained two pounds, so I finished Induction at 12 lbs down. Next week, I stalled completely and into week 4. But I didn't give up and the losses started again (inch loss continued even when the scale registered a gain).

Now I really don't worry about the scale at all. Though I'm continuing to lose and to lose inches, the scale still goes up and down, up and down.

If you look at the Fitday link at the bottom of my message, you can follow it to see my weight loss graph (at the bottom of my fitday page). It will show you just how much weight fluctuates.

If you stick with Atkins, you'll have to get used to that! But despite the gains I see some days, I'm still down 18.5 lbs in 5.5 weeks!!

This WOE works. You just have to trust it. And don't start tinkering with the plan too soon.

Good luck!
