I will have completed my first two weeks of Atkins. I have lost ten
pounds.
Does this sound average to everyone? I met a guy once where I worked
and he told me he lost 30 pounds in two weeks, I didin't expect this
for myself, but I just want to know if ten sounds right.

Good for you on completeing your first two weeks! Have you noticed any
other positive side effects aside from the weight loss?

There is a wide range of numbers that sound "right". How much you lose
depends on:
Are you male or female? males typically lose more
How much weight do you need to lose? the more you have to lose, the more you
will lose during your initial two weeks

The other thing it depends on is your level of resistence. The Atkins book
has a chart that asks how much you lost during the 2 week induction, and you
find what describes you and your age, and see how resistent you are. The
more you lost, typically the more carbs you will eventually be able to eat
and still lose weight.

You are planning to move on to Ongoing Weight Loss now, right?
