Hey Jai,
My plan was to go though carb induction then get on weight watchers to help keep it off. I started the "atkins" on Thursday and by saturday morning I was screaming at people and crying, I have battled with depression and hypoglycemia. I think that when I stopped eating sugar it really harmed me. I am not sure if you are familiar with hypoglcemia but it is naturally low blood sugar which can cause depression and anxiety (lovely). I have read that after a while the low carb thing stabilizes your blood sugar and is good for hypoglycemics but I could not get to it. I am going back on weight watchers. I lost 20lbs in about 2 months it was easy, I ate chocolate cake, pizza, mexican and sushi...all my favorite foods and still lost weight. I kept it off for over a year then got depressed and just did not care anymore that plus the lexapro helpped me put on about 7 lbs. I am now getting back on WW and going to try hard to get it off. Anyway, sorry this is so long winded, maybe you could consider WW and we could be each others support...just a thought, no matter best of luck with your weight loss battle and congrats on your 15lbs. That is wonderful!!!
Cheers!
Lexy
