Hi Jane Anne!
There is no reason to go into a panic quite yet. It is very, very common to stall out a little after induction as your body makes some adjustments. If you're hypothyroid, perimenopausal and have a possible candida overgrowth, you've got quite a few challenges to deal with here! If you've ever yo-yo dieted in the past (like many of us have) then the challenges are even greater. I'm not trying to discourage you....actually just the opposite.
I didn't look at your profile, but I assume you're 40+ and so am I (44 next month). Here's a newsflash for you: we're not going to lose weight NEARLY as fast as the 20-something group on this board. In fact, I've only lost 4 lbs since induction ended in mid-March! Oh, I went through a terrible depression over that ..still do sometimes...but I realize there really is no alternative for me except to do the best I can with tweaking and sticking to my diet and exercising regularly. The next best thing I can do for my success is to keep visiting this board, asking for and giving support whenever necessary. If it takes me a year to lose this darn 28 lbs. then so be it.... it's better than sitting on the couch, eating bon bons and gaining a lb. a month!! I really have never felt better or healthier in my life....so even if I never lose another pound I have gained something extremely valuable: my health and sense of well-being.
Let us know how we can help....anytime!!!
