Another day...another question (or set of questions)

I just read a question on an older thread (Newbie section, I think) and I want to ask it here. If I'm eating only two cups of salad and one cup of another veggie (I'm on day three of Induction) but not getting up to 20 carbs, can I add another cup of salad or add more veggies to get up to 20? The answer on the old thread was yes (by just one person...then no one else answered) but that seems too good to be true and is not what the Atkins book says.

Additionally, I'd love for someone to look at my FitDay account and tell me if it looks like I'm doing this right. Some have said it looks OK except for maybe the salad dressing. I feel like I'm retaining fluid (rings are tight) and don't know why. I drink at least 64 oz. of water daily...usually go over that. After two days, I have lost 2 pounds. I know that's better than nothing, but my expectations were higher.

Any suggestions???
