12 pounds in 4 weeks is a really perfect weight loss.  If the weight falls
off you, it will tend to come back on just as fast.  The stuff you see in  
the
ads about losing 30 pounds in 2 weeks is just BS.  To do that you'd have  
to cut
off a leg or something.

Just give it some time.  The body is resistant to weight loss anyway (it's  
trying
to save your life), so let it have a little time to get everything  
reorganized for you.

And from reviewing diaries I kept when I went paleo and lost 30 pounds in  
6 months, I would get all discouraged because "I just wasn't losing  
weight" for a couple of weeks, then a few more pounds would come off in a  
few days.  Then another little plateau, then another weight loss.  It  
doesn't just go down by an even number of ounces per day.  We're not  
machines.

So, keep it up.  You're doing fine.
