Default 8.5 gone...or has it???

I'm starting my 4th week today (day 22). 4 lbs gone the first week (day , nothing the second (girl issues). On Saturday (day 20) another 4.5 was gone (8.5 total), Sunday 3 lbs gained back and this morning 1 lb lost. So net lbs lost is 6.5 lbs in 3 weeks. What gives? My carb count is right according to FitDay. I am eating about 15 gms carbs from veggies. I am drinking my water. I am getting some exercise in. The sticks are turning colour everytime. I have lost inches but not a lot. I am totally frustrated but will not give up.

Today I am going to Level 1 of OWL. But the question I have is if you are not losing on induction very well like me, how do you know what your carb limit is on OWL? Does this mean I should go backwards in my carbs? I know you are going to ask me to tell you what I eat so here is a typlcal day:

Breaky:
2 scrambled eggs
Decaf with heavy cream

Lunch
Tuna with 1 tbsp Hellmans mayo & 1 tbsp onion
About 1 cup celery to scoop it up with

or leftovers from night before

Dinner
some kind of meat
1 cup lettuce, 6 grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup red pepper
some other veggie to balance out cards

Night Snack
Decaf coffee or tea w/ heavy cream

Water - at least 80 oz a day

Supplements
Cal-Mag
Woman's Multi Vitamin
Probiotic

Weight to lose: 40 lbs

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!!
