Leslie, you don't have much weight to lose at all. In fact, 115 might be unrealistically low if you're 5'3". Of course, that depends on your build and age, and you're the best judge of that.
Atkins is fine for those with little as well as a lot of weight to lose, but it will take longer if you're lighter. Think of it as a percentage thing: someone with 100 pounds to lose may lose 10 pounds on Induction (10%); someone with 20 pounds to lose may lose 2 pounds (10%). So be prepared to be patient.
If I were you, I'd nix the bars. Atkins himself doesn't recommend them for Induction. Stick to unprocessed, fresh meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cream, cheese, and low-carb veggies. It doesn't have to be boring. There are plenty of recipes in Atkins's book, and loads more on this site.
