Welcome to Carolyn!

Glad you've decided to post! I can find a few things wrong that might help you...

1) Have you read the book Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 edition)? If not I strongly advise you to pick one up as soon as possible. They are quite cheap. It explains Atkins and exactly how to go about following the plan and why it works. Knowing why it works is just as important as knowing how to follow it.

2)You say you're eating only meat and cheese...on induction, we are required to eat 3 cups of salad vegetables per day. As the rule states:

"Eat no more than 20 grams a day of carbohydrate, most of which must come in the form of salad greens and other vegetables. You can eat approximately three loosely packed cups of salad, or two cups of salad plus one cup of other vegetables (see Acceptable Foods)."

3) Are you excercising? It is non-negotiable if you plan to achieve some success.

4) Take measurements! The scale usually lies...the best way to gauge success is how you feel and what the measuring tape says.

These are just a few problems areas I could pick out. I would advise you to check out the Induction forum as well and find a list of the complete rules of induction, which should tide you over until you can get your hands on the book.

You can find the rules here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6782

Best of luck on your weight loss journey and if you need anything just give a shout!
