Pollyanne,
Everyone is different... I am actually very surprised that you lost 7 pounds in your first week of induction, because you have so little to lose. Usually, the rule of thumb is about 10% in the first two weeks, and you lost 35% in one week.
Have you read the book? Are you using Atkins to lose your 20lbs or are you planning to eat this way forever? If you are planning to make this your woe forever, make sure that you read the book, because you will need to move into premaintenance shortly, since you are so close to goal.
Best of luck to you!

Some lose more in the second week. It does vary. LC especially induction is Diuretic in nature. This will make you lose a lot of water. Make sure to keep water intake at a gallon a day. Eat your multi vitamin. Most people so slow down after a few weeks. Remember it took a while to get heavy and it takes a while to get thin.
