This is sort of related to the post below, but my question is specifically about only having 10 lbs. or so to lose (not specifically that it is a "last 10" but a total of 10) - that stubborn bit of "dough" around my middle that I want to lose. Is the Atkins diet geared mainly for those interested in losing quite a bit of weight or will it work on those with only 5/10/15 lbs. total to lose? I do work out (mainly weights with some cardio 4-5 times a week).

Just like the poster below, I feel SO guilty asking this question because I shouldn't complain, but I agree with a low carb lifestyle and want to give it a try. I've been keeping my carbs under 20 grams for about 2.5 weeks now and haven't seen any changes. I hope it will work though - any insights would be so helpful!

Thanks for listening to me being such a whiner!
