New here.....6 weeks on Atkins

[skatingmom]

Hi there, I've been in the induction phase now for 6 weeks. I haven't lost any weight but can tell I've lost some fat (my clothes are loose). I think it's taking longer to lose weight for me because I'm only trying to lose 15 pounds. I've been eating about 10-15 carbs a day. I have a soda and sugar addiction. I've switched to diet rite and have been eating heavy cream and splenda to curb any sweet cravings. I wish I could give up the soda completely. I'm trying but it's really hard. Anyhow......I'm amazed at how good I feel on this diet. I have a new found energy which has completely changed my life

wtg! 6 weeks is a long time to stick anything out so keep going!
my only words of advice (only cause i'm addicted to reading stuff in here and in the book) is to really try and eliminate the soda and cream/splenda combo. it's easier to get rid of those cravings when you aren't having them at all after just a couple days.

Great job, since you only have a small amount to lose, consider moving up to rung one and then two. You will probably not see a slowdown on those rungs and it does give you many more choices.
