Hi, and welcome to the site! You need to make sure to get your 20 grams of carbs from mostly green vegetables, as per the Atkins book. I think expectations of losing a certain amount of weight may set you up for disappointment.
A general rule of thumb is that a person will lose 10% of the weight they want to lose during induction, and 5% every month thereafter. The less you have to lose, the longer it takes.
I tend to weight every morning, but only count it on my "weigh" day...the day I write it down and update everything.
Welcome!
Beth
