just keep in mind that a big part of the initial loss was water. for every molecule of glycogen (sp) in your body there are two molecules of water. Your body burns fat much slower than it expells water.
No one has the dramatic loss they had during induction all the time, well, at least non-surgically.
Using up your body's fat stores takes time and effort. Think about it, there are 33 (kilo)calories in a gram of fat, so that means there are 33,000 (kilo)calories in a kilogram of fat (15000 per pound). Fat is terrific way to store enegry. If it takes one hour of running to burn 800 (kilo)calories, one pound can last you two hours, that's a lot of movement.
Take things one day at a time, stay true to your plan, and remember if it was easy--everyone would be fit and thin. You got to be in it for the long haul, 'cause that is the only way it's gonna work.
