Yes, yes, yes, Fairchild! I've been on Atkins for four full weeks and only lost a little over a pound. (Believe me, I can spare a few more!) However, 8 years ago, 35 lbs. heavier, I lost it doing low-carb with little effort (and no exercise, either). I lost 5-7 lbs. a month until 35 of them were gone. Been stalling ever since! (Certainly because my low-carb WOE lapsed slightly)
