Are you also a member of the Scale Junkies club?

You cannot expect to lose weight every day. You've lost 14 lbs in 9 days? That's awesome, congrats!

I guess I am reading it wrong and you didn't want to lose 30-40 lbs in 9 days and not even in the 14-day Induction phase. Or did you?

Are you eating your 3 cups of veggies? It's better to spread them throughout the day to avoid blood sugar spikes.

Morning and night weigh-ins? You'll drive yourself bonkers. Weight can fluctuate a lot because of hormones and other reasons for water retention. So don't let that number be your sole guidance. Use measurements as well. They often tell a clearer story.
Congratulations on losing so much already. You're doing great.

The two ladies who posted before me are absolutely right. Sorry to trot out this picture again (to anyone who's already seen it), but I like it. It is a graph of my Wii Fit weights. Every day is a green/blue dot. As you can see, I have a good bit of fluctuation day-to-day, but overall the trend is a nice downward line. Maybe try weighing weekly if it bugs you too much? Best of luck to you!
