I am 10 days ahead of you and glad I decided to start - down 7lbs! I had been dieting prior to starting Lo carb too - so I'm sure my 10 day loss would have actually been more....certainly not complaining. I found that Lo carb gives me more control of my appetite and, well, allows me to make food choices rather then food making me make choices. Start a journal - one of the mentors got me to do it and it has been very helpful! Go Debby go! - Steve
