That weight pattern looks totally normal to me. Your body needs time to adjust to a 14 pound loss. You will probably start losing again in a week or two, but not as rapidly as you did in the beginning.
I think I have lost each of the 67 pounds I am down at least two or three times. My pattern is to go to a new low, then fluctuate up and down two or three pounds for a while, then go down to another new low, then fluctuate up and down two or three pounds for a while, then go to another new low, etc. People do not normally just go steadily downward. Some people fluctuate four or five pounds -- I count myself fortunate that I only fluctuate two or three.
Keep doing what you have been doing and you will continue to lose, although not at the rate you lost during induction. You might want to stay away from the scale for a few weeks if it is driving you crazy. Remember, this isn't a race. You have a lot to lose and it is not going to all disappear overnight.
