Hello Angel & welcome. If you look at the little green lines under your name (to the left of your post) you'll see the figure "13%". That means that in losing only 2 pounds, you are already 13 % of the way to your goal.

It is expected that a person would lose up to 10% of the way to their goal weight during the 2 Induction weeks so you are already ahead of the game.

It is really important that we not get hung up on the absolute number of pounds. Compared to the average person here, you have only a bit to lose. I know that those 15 pounds are just as important to you as the 150 pounds that some people want to lose. Or the 50 that I still have to go. But we have to look at Low carbing as a slow, steady, sure way to lose fat, not a quick way to lose pounds. We each need to learn to eat in the LC way over a number of months so that we will never regain after we get to goal.

So you are doing really well at 13% of the way to your goal in the first 2 weeks. Keep up the good work. It may not be fast, but it will work.
