Hang in there Sarah!
I started in March as well, lost 11 lbs. during Induction, and then only 5 lbs. during the following 2 months.
However, figuring that at least I wasn't gaining + I was eating healthier than I had in years, I vowed to stick with the basics. From this forum & the Atkins books, we know that means lots of low GI veggies, unprocessed meat, eggs & full fats + small amounts of cheese, cream & Splenda. I also added in a couple of OWL goodies like peanut butter, protein shakes & berries to bring variety & convenience.
So, just when I think that nothing's gonna work... all of a sudden, I've dropped 5 lbs. in 3 days!!
IMO, some body's just don't like to make the switch to fat-burning instead of fat-piling on & fight it tooth & nail.
Also, have you been measuring and/or trying clothes that used to be too snug? If so, you could be burning fat and adding muscle, which wouldn't necessarily show up on the scale.
Good luck!!
