Is it normal to have a stall around the 3 week or so mark? I seem to be in one. I was expecting one, just wanted to make sure that it was normal. I am now looking forward to when it's over

Yep, totally normal. Look for a post in the "Most Memorable Posts" forum called "Post Induction Stall Syndrome" It can happen anywhere between weeks 3-6...Or that entire time. Do not fret, it will pass and then you'll get a big reward on the scale. Its frequently a time when people give up, so DO NOT DO THAT.

QUIT SMOKING JULY 23, 2006 while on Atkins
Same thing is happening to me. I am just ending one month.
1st week = lost 4 lbs
2nd week = lost 7 lbs
3rd week = lost 2 lbs
4th week = zippppppppp
Have lost absolutely nothing in the last 9 days, not even inches. The only thing that lost weight are my eyes from reading/re-reading DANDR, this forum and my food journal to make sure everything is ok?
The great folks on this forum and there reassuring confirmation that this is normal is what keeps me from quitting. Otherwise, I would have assumed that this WOE was not working for me.
I stalled weeks 3-4 no loss at all then weeks 5-8 i've been avaraging 2-3 pound loss a week. I was getting so annoyed a good 2 weeks i was STUCK. In all it's been mid week 8 i've lost close to 25 pounds.

Definitely normal... happens to many. You'll probably start losing again very soon.

I'm in that boat now. I'm trying to not let it Post Induction Stall Syndrome me off. Nor do I intend to let it Delayed Induction Stall Syndrome courage me.
Just keep refinining, re tooling, and re working the program. If I step off, get right back, .....
I'm thinking this WOL is about learning new skills.
