Not knowing the amount of carbs you are taking in, it's hard to say.
But let me understand. You have been eating low carb for two weeks, and you've lost 8 lbs, and you are concerned that you are not losing quickly enough?
I would have been ecstatic to have lost 8 lbs in my first two weeks!
Everyone loses at the rate at which they lose. And even if you lost weight quickly in the past, that's no guarantee that you'll repeat that pattern in the present. But get into, and stay in, fat burning mode by keeping carbs low and intake appropriate for your needs, and you will lose.
(By "appropriate for your needs" I mean what Dr. Atkins said" Eat when hungry, stop when full." For me, I modify it to "Stop when satiated." Because if I'm eating something I consider delicious, full might be painfully full.)
You won't, necessarily, lose as fast as you want to, and I don't know anybody whose weight loss is linear.
