Hi Della

I can help with a couple of your questions:

1. You have done Atkins before, so dont expect the dramatic results the second time around. It will be slower but never fear... it will still work.

2. You dont have much to loose so YES it will take longer than someone with 100 lbs to loose. You can expect to loose around 10% of your weight in the first 2 weeks {induction}

This web site has ALOT of information, but take your time and ask away..... Make this a way of life, not a diet and you'll be happy with the results.
