Well, if you are doing Atkins with a two week induction period you should lose around three pounds in induction and then 2 pounds a month or so. You might want to think about doing a 3 or 4 week induction, if you can stand it.

Normally, you lose 10% of what you need to lose in induction and then around 5% a month after that. I lost about 4 pounds in induction and I average 3 pounds a month doing OWL (ongoing weight loss) right now. It has taken longer than I thought it would or wanted it to-but I know I will keep the weight off.
