While both would be good news - my own long stalls were frustrating and test your will power. Over the course of my experience I was and am able to control my weight gain or weight loss with the amount of extra carbs I eat in maintenance - largely fruit, milk, beer (LC), and multi-grain bread (Arnolds regular 12 grain).
If I eat those extra carbs I maintain or gain. To lose I just eliminate the milk, bread and beer. Keep a modest amount of fruit.
Much rather have that control to lose lbs over the course of a week. If I stayed the same for awhile and then had a larger loss of weight - would be puzzeled - maybe pleased, but would want to know why?
The largest drop in weight for me was when I cheated in my induction and had a huge bowl of Bing Cherries. That Monday I dropped 4 lbs!
I knew what happened in that case.
April 1 will be 3 years for me. They say a diet is not a success until 5 years so I have two years to go. I have no intention of changing since I totally enjoy my menu choices and my pants waist size! Not to mention no more drowsiness after lunch at company meetings.
I can only feel a bit lucky though that induction worked like the textbook for me. I reduced my carbs to 20 gm a day and kept it there most of that time for 3.5 months. Any stalls I had were due to upping my carbs - my longest stall came when I got addicted to mixed nuts. Stopped eating the nuts and I started losing again. Good luck to everyone in stalls and unable to lose!
