I've only been on Atkins for 2 days and I've gained 2 lbs....why? I'm staying at 20 carbs a day.

What's your daily menu? Didn't you have 3 donuts sticks a couple of days ago? Could be retention there.

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs with bacon
Snack - 2 cheese sticks
Lunch - Taco salad (lettuce/beef & chicken, tom, avocado, cheese) with salsa and a little ranch as dressing

dont pay attention to gaining lbs. At the beginning of this week i gained 2 lbs in 1 day!! I was like WHAT?!?!?! well... turned out this same week I went down to pants size! so YEY! I think losing weight is not just lbs. Maybe something good will come your way as well

no i went down 1 pants size. From size 16 to size 14. Before that week it was questionable if i need new pair (size down). So i was wearing size 16. This week i gained 2 lbs and 4 days later had to buy new pair size 14 So my point is that sometimes you still lose weight even thought your scale says differently. If you do everything right dont get discourage by larger number on the scale.
