Hi Jlagioia!

Welcome to the low carb forum!

That is exciting to hear you are starting this new way of eating! One thing I can think of though is that you say you are staying as low on carbs as possible. You know, you should try and stay as close to the 20 grams of carbs as possible. Zero or five carbs sometimes causes people to lose less and more slowly than if they eat the 20 that Dr. Atkins recommends.

you could increase carbs by making sure you eat a variety of veggies.

Also you want to make sure to drink lots and lots of water to flush out that fat and do not eat any of those fake low carb things like bars, which have been known to stall people or cause them to lose more slowly.

A good site to use is www.fitday.com which you can keep track of how much calories, fat, carbs you are eating daily which can help you get an idea of if you are getting enough calories, enough carbs, etc.

Good luck!
