Slack32,
Periods are DEFINITELY a factor in scale bouncing. I always lose tons of water either right before or right after my period and usually hit my lowest weight of the month during that time.
Another factor is that you are in the third week of your plan. It's extremely common to hit a small plateau during the third week of low-carbing, possibly because of the dramatic changes in the previous two weeks. Laura Richard's discusses it in her book, "The Secret to Low Carb Success."
Having reasonable weight loss expectations is a big key to being able to stick with this plan. It may take time, but you will get there if you stick w/the program. I've been "stuck" on the scale tons of times in the last year, but this way of eating is so healthy and satisfying, I had no option but to stick with it. 70 pounds later, my goal's in sight and I'm VERY happy, I never let a slow scale throw me off plan (well, almost never )
Good luck, Dig
P.S. Don't forget the scale can't tell you how fat you are (something I ranted on in my journal about, today).
