I agree with G, your body will lose whenever it feels like losing, and sometimes its a brat about it. All you can really do is chart a vague estimate in the general area of where you think it will end up, and do everything right so as to not slow it down. But even doing everything right, you still might run into trouble, and sometimes it doesn't make any sense and all you can do is keep going.

I lost my first 10 on day 8 or 9, -DURING- TOM. The 2 weeks after that, I gained about 5 back, while thinking I was doing a clean induction, drinking water, getting good fats etc. I decided to cut out all the processed food I'd eaten (bacon, sausage, hot dog weenies etc) and cheese, and started working out a lot, and now i'm about 1 week away from my first month being done and i'm just now getting back to that first 10. I don't know if cutting out the foods was key, or working out, or nothing at all and my body just decided to get its butt in gear. Either way, it was really difficult to see those numbers go up when I wasn't cheating.

Try not to set your sites on a specific date, other than just to keep going in the right direction. And try not to beat yourself up when things don't continue at a constant rate. When you get frustrated is when you're likely to cheat!
