Hi Cory,

It's always discouraging to work hard at the diet and see "no" progress (especially where scales are concerned). Stalls for some people can vary greatly, for some people it's a week, for others it can be months. I've been on atkins twice now, and I have stalled both times for a week after the first week of induction. I think post induction stalls are quite normal.

In times of stagnation, it's a good idea to take a close look at your diet and exercise levels. You may have some hidden carbs somewhere. You could post your diet up on this board, and some of us may give some pointers as to any foods which contain hidden carbs you may have missed. - or known stallers such as aspartame, cream etc.

I'm not sure how to tell if your body is storing up water. Chances are it probably is. Especially since you've just come of induction and your body lost a lot of glycogen and water weight it seems only normal that your body would react accordingly, by storing up water.

In all, just keep at it. The weight will start to fall eventually. It is difficult to work hard at the diet and avoid the high carb foods we used to crave (especially considering your in the somwhat early stages of the diet), and to see no progress on the scales. But you will start losing again.
