It's good to read all this. I started at 175, lost 3 pounds the first week, and another 5 during the next week and half. Somewhere in the second week of induction, I weighed in at 165, which was lovely. Then I suppose because of salt intake, I weighed closer to 170 again, then 172, and today 168. It's driving me crazy! I'm definitely avoiding the salty stuff from here on out in order to avoid the headache of worrying about the scale! This thread gives me some hope, especially because I have never weighed in below 160 in my life, and I was so happy to be approaching that barrier! Just gotta keep on truckin'!

Thanks ChinaDoll for the words of wisdom! I'm off to school (I'm a teacher), but I'll have to check in later to read through all of this thread!
