Hi, DinahB. Congrats on starting a plan that has been so successful for many of us. Best of all, it's a way of eating that gets better and more interesting as time goes by.
Now's a good time to learn how to use a food diary, like MyPLAN on this site, or fitday.com to track your eating, activity, and nutrients. Awareness and accountability are half the battle.
Please be patient. Don't let high expectations (huge weight loss in a short period of time, for example) sink your resolve. You're aiming for a lifelong transformation, and that simply takes time.
Best wishes.
P. S. I'm turning 60 this year. Atkins for three years. Largest lifetime loss, 50 lbs--but I've been a yo-yo all my life, and have lost hundreds of pounds in amounts ranging from 10 to 30 many times. I'm now at goal, and enjoying every day of my Atkins strategy.
