I have been on Atkins for about two months now and I have lost maybe 5 pounds. I say maybe because I fluctuate those five pounds weekly. I do get discouraged because I want to weigh less! I am still loosing though, not on the scale, but in size. I have lost 11 inches total in the past three weeks. That is a whole pants size for me and even more as my new jeans are loose. Two inches is great, dont get discouraged. You are making progress no matter what that cursed scale says. Just hang in there and give it a couple months and see how you do. Keep on measuring, I know if I hadnt measured myself I would have quit a week ago!
