I think I would make sure that I wasn't taking in more carbs than I thought before going back to Induction. If you really are accurately figuring the number of carbs you're eating each day, you may want to drop back down by 5 grams. Everyone hits plateaus here and there so I wouldn't worry about it unless it lasts more than a month. Also, are you exercising? If not, you may want to start and if you are then you may want to increase your workout or mix it up with some new activities. 

I don't think a 1 lb loss is a plateu. You are still losing. Sometimes just cutting back some on the carbs is enough to speed it up. Don't get on the induction roller-coaster.  

Thanks for the comments and encouragment. My exercise is limited because of my back problem. My Doctor told me I had a choice; either take it very easy, or end up in surgery. 

Yea, take it easy, then. :) Maybe when you reach your goal weight you can do some physical therapy to help your back. You are doing great considering you are not exercising much. Keep it up. 

You may want to ask your doctor about some gentle stretching exercises. This can help keep your muscle tone up which will make it a bit easier when you start physical therapy if that ends up being an option. 

Hi, thanks for your comment on my journal! I'm doing Atkins, that's how I got the needle on the scale moving! I feel great and very energetic. Good luck. I hate plateaus!!!
