Default After Induction Question

Hi! I was wondering how much people lose after induction? If you stay on induction does the weight loss really slow down or can you still lose 3 pounds a week. Please let me know some of your experiences after induction. thanks

Sorry to say, the weight loss slows down. Remember that some of the weight you lost during induction was water. Now for the hard part, fat. Some weeks I can drop 2 pounds, and some 1/2 pound, then there are the ones I do not lose at all. But no matter, what ever diet you chose to go on, this happens. Either way, over the weeks the numbers still add up! And I still weigh less than I did a month ago! This is what I concentrate on.

The general rule of thumb is 10% during the first 2 weeks then 5% a month thereafter. Weight fluctuates all the time and it's nothing to worry about as long as there is a downward trend. Here is a really good example of what I am talking about:

Do you really expect your progress to be all losses?
