Hi, Angela! There are a lot of us with lots to lose, so you're in good company
And none of us have lost at a steady pace, either -- there's a lot of fluctuation. Your body could be retaining water (especially for women, hormones and TOM -- your monthly cycle -- can play a big role). sometimes, too, your body needs time to catch up with your weight loss. so please don't be discouraged by fluctuations. Some people weigh once a week, some people average their weights (if you weigh every day, write each day's weight down and, at the end of the week, divide by 7; that's your average weight.)
Also, your weight fluctuates from morning (before eating or drinking, because you're a bit dehydrated) to evening (at least four pounds up after dinner, with clothes).
These are just some factors!
If you just eat hamburger three times a day, you're going to be bored -- and it won't be enough food. This isn't a diet, it's a way of life. Have fun with it. Read the recipes on this board (on the forum and in the recipes section). Click on the Low Carb Tips link in the orange bar at the top of the board and check out Karen's tips to jazz up induction.
It's not a NO carb diet, but a low carb one. Salads and vegetables are important for health -- and make meals tastier!
YOu might want to start a journal and post your food logs every day (include the quantities, not just "hamburger") THat's a good way to keep track of things.
Good luck! You can do this! Look around, you've got lots of company
