Default No Loss in Third Week -- NORMAL?

Okay, I am not obsessing, just getting a little down.

I am staying w/20 carbs (the most has been 25) or less.

Drinking tons and tons of water.

Taking my supplements.

Even going to the gym at least 5 times per week. (Doing 15-20 minutes of cardio and alternating upper and lower body work out with weights.)

It happens to be that TOM (which, by the way was more mild than I can remember, very little breakouts, no cramps, heavy for three days and literally all but stopped on the 4th, no breast tenderness.)

My problem is that I have gained and lost the same 1.5 pounds now for 10 days. What gives? I can be patient, I just want to know if this is normal the third week. I have been in ketosis and not out of it since the third or fourth day of this woe. Is it just muscle gain already? I am usually a slow loser.

On the upside, I can fit in to my pants again. I still have not taken any measurements because I don't have a fabric tape measure. I will be getting that tonight. But, you know the clothes never lie.

Do we lose weight the opposite of how we gain it? What I am saying is do you lose it from the fingers and toes in? It seems that way to me, the first sign was that me rings were a little looser?

Another plus is -- skin is clearer than it has been in as long as I can remember. No hunger. Sleeping better, especially after the first two weeks.

Well starting week 4 and feel better than ever, I just wish the scale would budge just a wee bit.


Will this support forum, it is hard not to stay positive.
