Hi, there

I am also a long-time yo-yo dieter having some similar frustrations. I never experienced the initial drop in weight that most people do on induction (unless you count the weight I lost coming off of some meds which had caused me to gain) and I've hovered around the same four pounds ever since.

I figure as long as I feel good, eat well, and I'm not gaining, I'm still ahead. Sure, I'd like to lose, so I'm going to keep plugging away at it and hope the exercise kicks in. I can't go back to high carb/low fat anyway – that only made me gain in the long run.

If I had any advice for you it would be to dump the scale. I know it's hard -- I'm tempted to use it myself, and I SO want to lose this weight. But this has to be a life-long habit, and how you feel should be more important.

Hang in there -- I will too!
