heidismile, it says in your profile, you have read "Atkins", which one was that? Anyhow, I'll try and answer your questions.

I started my atkins diet a week ago monday ( 3-22-04) and I have lost five pounds, but I seem to be at a stand still.

It is quite normal to not lose weight for a few days after losing. You need to give your body a chance to catch up.

I am eating the same things that my fiance is eating, yet he has lost ten pounds.

You cannot measure your weightloss against your fiance's, especially because women lose SLOWER than men do. Also congrats on the new baby!

Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong, also,I bought some endulge chocolate bars by atkins, it says that it only has 2 carb grams...but, I read the back and it says 16 gram of total carbs but, someone told me that I can subtract the 3 grams of fiber and the 11 grams of sugar alcohol which would make it 2 grams...is that true?

First of all, why are you even eating the LC candy? You should really stick to a clean, whole food induction for at LEAST the first 2 weeks.

I have cut out my salads until my strips go to a deep purple, but I still think that I might need to do something different...

Cutting out your salads is one of the worst things you can do. The vegetables and lettuce's are where you get your carbs from that you CAN eat!
The best thing to do, is first, open an account at http://www.fitday.com to keep track of your food intake. Atkins is a high fat diet, you burn the fat you eat, to burn the fat on your body. Keep a ratio of about 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein and 5-10% carbs.
