I started a low carb diet loosely based on atkins on Monday. I've been trying to keep my carbs below 20 a day.

Since Monday I have lost 6lbs in weight. I lost 2lbs the first day and then roughly a lb a day after that.

This morning however was the first time the scales stayed the same from the previous day. I know I can't expect to lose 1lb a day forever but it has knocked my confidence a little.

I have been cheating slightly, when I get sugar cravings I've been having the odd peanut m&m or chocolate finger. Yesterday I ate 2 chocolate fingers and 2 m&ms. Surely this small ammount of cheating isn't enough to stall weight loss is it?
