I weighed myself officially on Friday after being on plan for a week and was at 230.2. This morning I stepped on the scale and I was 229. Is it normal for the losses in induction to slow down so much?

Re: 2nd Week of Induction...
Your start weight was 240 and now you're down 11 pounds to 299. That's great!
You won't lose the same amount of weight everyday or every week. What you are looking for is an overall decrease.
By the way, did you take your measurements before you started? Dr. Atkins wrote that the loss of inches was proof that the fat was emptying from your cells.~Megs~

Re: 2nd Week of Induction...
It is not unusual for scale hoppers to get discouraged when the numbers go up temporarily, (especially following an abnormally low reading), either due to to water retention fluctuations, variations in the scale's accuracy, environmental influences or other causes. Therefore it is best not to take any individual reading too seriously. Look at your measurements change, average out the scale readings over a few days (and you may want to skip reading on certain days, such as those where water bloat or constipation are likely).
And yes, is is normal for weight loss to slow after the initial induction loss, which often includes extra water and intestinal bulk from pre-induction last binges....~Susan
