You aren't "stalled" -- going up and down during induction happens to a lot of people -- a stall is considered when you haven't lost any weight in several WEEKS not days. My suggestions to you:

1) drink more water -- you are drinking the minimum - more water will help flush more of the nasties out of your system and helps boost your metabolism.

2) watch your sodium intake -- sodium will hold water weight on your body.

3) when you eat out try a salad instead of the other stuff on the menu - take your own dressing so you know what is in it.

4) start exercising immediately - you will loose faster if you are working out.

Use FitDay - others have told how they use it (which is the same for me), unless you are tracking your food intake you really have no idea what or how much you are eating daily.

Only weigh once a week - you're setting yourself up getting on the scale everyday -- your weight will move hourly as well as daily -- the best thing to do (and Dr Atkins said this in his book) is weight at the END of induction

Good luck
