One of the best things you can do is read all the stickies - especially Jim's "So you're thinking of doing Atkins". Jim is our Big Daddy, he has lost an astonishing amount doing the original Atkins
Most people seem to do the best by sticking to protein and green veg, try not to go for the sugar free stuff and limit the Mims (muffins in a minute, on the Mims thread) and oopsies.

It's really common, Megy - it can tail off - but 1.5lbs is great!

The first week is the big loss week, after that 1-2lbs per week is average xx
