I am about 150, 5'3" - following the 20 carbs per day plan. Is there a general % of body weight lost per week? I would think it would be hard to compare actual pounds since a 300 lb man would lose a lot faster than a 100 lb woman.

Ahh, the magic of Atkins...
i was 170 lbs and 5'4'' when I started Atkins. I lost 17lbs in the first 2 weeks. My roomate was 20 lbs heavier and lost 8 lbs in the same time. It really is different for everyone, but stick to it and the weight will come off.
Good luck!

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a suggestion that might help you. Weight loss can only be successful in the long term if you TOTALLY commit your body mind and sole to it. If you want to get it off fast, you may succeed, but it will come back with it's Friends, then you'll have more to loose next time and it's a cycle that will last your entire life. I suggest that you have a good long though about your self image. If you are not happy with how you look, for you and you only, then that is good reason to make the changes in your life to bring about changes in your physique. ON the other hand, if in the deepest pit of our sole, you don't think you look all that bad, then don't go down this road, regardless of what your Friends say. In short, if you want to loose weight, you have to PERMANENTLY change your lifestyle to accomplish and maintain this. It is practically impossible to change your lifestyle, if you really aren't convinced that there is a problem, so commitment and honesty to yourself is key. Good Luck to you!!
