I'm 3 months in - just started stage 4 and I have gained about 4 lbs. Don't worry about the weight for the moment. Look in my profile pictures, I posted a progress pic when I finished Stage 3. It's small so maybe a bit hard to see, but the difference between the 2nd pic and the 3rd pic is my 4 lb gain....sure doesn't look like a gain.

I started NROLFW at 190 too, and then fluctuated mostly bet. 190-193 for most of stage 1, even hitting 196 one day (which is the same as my weight before I joined the gym and lost 6 lb. from doing all cardio for a month), but I waited it out, and dropped to 187, I think during my rest week bet. stages 1 & 2.

Sometimes I see the scale drop after just a full rest weekend too, but between stages 2 & 3, I was on vacation for 2 weeks in Europe eating things like gelato, spaghetti, and croissants every day, and not doing any workouts except walking, and I dropped another 1.5 lb. to 185.5.

I'm only a week into stage 3, but I feel great about just the 5 lb. I have lost since I started NROLFW, because it's at least 1" off my waist, and I see it in my clothes. Like during stage 1, I dropped from a size 18 jeans to a size 14, even before the scale showed it.

Hang in there, and keep at it.
