I know how discouraging the scale can be...I have changed my WOL now since January (it was my new years resolution lol).
When I first started I think I lost 12 pounds during that 14 day induction period. Since then, the scales have been slower than a turtle...One week I lose 2 pounds, the next I gain 2..it's so un motivating, especially when you rely on it to motivate you.
But with that said, I am almost 5 months into this WOL and have lost almost 50 pounds now. It eventually catches up with you even though you may not see the weight results yet, but believe me with patience and perseverence you will. I have also lost a ton of inches and have went down 4 sizes. That itself will motivate you. Just stick to it and eventually your body will get used to the routine.
Make sure you drink tons of water also!
Good luck :hug
