Hello and yes it is normal. During your first two weeks is when you will lose the most amount of weight at one time. In atkins book he does state that. Losing 3 lbs your third week is great. Having a 3 lb a week weight loss is wonderful. Keep up the good work. Some of your ten lbs may have had some water weight and now you are actually losing fat, please dont get discouraged and keep on doing what you are doing. You're doing GREAT!!!!! Take care and hang in there. Sabrina

great attitude, fit! Just keep up the good work and the pounds will come off. Yes, more slowly as we go along, and then in fits and starts ("stalls and wooshes" to LCers). But imagine next January 1 how much healthier and slimmer you'll be!
