Re: 2nd Week of Induction... | | It is not unusual for scale hoppers to get discouraged when the numbers go up temporarily, (especially following an abnormally low reading), either due to to water retention fluctuations, variations in the scale's accuracy, environmental influences or other causes. Therefore it is best not to take any individual reading too seriously. Look at your measurements change, average out the scale readings over a few days (and you may want to skip reading on certain days, such as those where water bloat or constipation are likely).
And yes, is is normal for weight loss to slow after the initial induction loss, which often includes extra water and intestinal bulk from pre-induction last binges....
