Thumbs down stalls while on period during induction

Yesterday I was 136.6 and today am 136.45....while ive been losing about .5 lb per day. Is this normal to stall during this time?

Puffkitty...

Patience! You've only been low carbing for 6 days and you've already lost more than 10% of what you need to lose, so I'd say that you're doing quite well so far. Generally, the closer you are to your goal weight, the slower the weight comes off.
It's not really a stall until you have no loss of either pounds or inches for a period of 4-6 weeks.
I know it's hard, but I'd really recommend staying off the scale until the end of induction. That way, you'll keep yourself from stressing over every pound you lose and you also may have a nice surprise in another week.

Puffkitty,

I found that I wouldn't lose anything during my TOM, and then I'd get a nice whoosh at the end of it.

I must echo Lisa N, though, be patient. At least you're not gaining, right?

Best of luck!
