Sounds like you are doing pretty well.

Now you have to realize that you want to lose 15lbs in total.

Average weightloss is usually 10% of your goal to lose during induction (that would be 1.5lbs) and then approx 5% each month after.

The thing is that low carbing makes our bodies look leaner faster.

Usually a person has to lose approx 10lbs for each size they reduce. I have lost about 20lbs on Atkins but have gone from a tight size 16 to a looser size 10. So sometimes we are smaller and not lighter. Exercise in almost anyway really speeds this up too.

Take some measurements and try to be realistic with your success so far.
