Question Plateau after a week!

I need some help or advice!!

I started the Atkins Diet three weeks ago today and have been doing the induction diet all the time. After the first 5 days I was really impressed and had lost 7 pounds. Hence I decided to continue on the induction to see how much more I could lose (have about 35 pounds left to lose!). However, since then I have not lost anything and seem to fluctuate between just under my original weight and my new weight.

I am following the diet pretty rigidly and am drinking water, etc. I am in high Ketosis according to Ketostix. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? My husband started the same time as me and has lost 13 pounds and has a lower Ketones rating than me!!!

Any help advice would be gratefully received. I am starting to lose heart which is a shame because I seemed to do so well earlier.

Cheers

Emma
