What do you suggest is best? | FwL is right. You are the one that has to decide whether you want to move to OWL immediately after the first two weeks or to do another two weeks of Induction. This should be done after you've read/re-read Chapter 13 in the book. It is impossible to say, for any of us or even for you, how your body would react to more Induction compared to how it would react to OWL Rung 1. What we have seen at ADBB is that people who do not have a high metabolic resistance or do not have a lot to lose typically experience a pause in their weight loss after the second week, which is broken when progressing to OWL.
With 12 lbs lost in 10 days, your degree of metabolic resistance is low. However, you have about 88 lbs left to lose. If you feel comfortable doing Induction for another two weeks, I'd say go for it. If your weight loss stalls, you can always move to OWL. 
BTW, congratulations for the 12 lbs!

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
