First of all, being on "your own special version of Atkins" can be dangerous, depending on what you're doing. Whatever low-carb diet you choose, it's best to go by the book or at least follow all the guidelines.

Second, congrats on your weight loss so far. I'm betting that you're in week 2, 3, or 4, in which case it's very normal that you're not losing any weight. Many, many people stall after the first few weeks, then start losing again. I lost about 15 pounds in my first two weeks, then nothing for 6 weeks. Then it started up again, slow and steady. I was in ketosis the entire time, but not losing pounds. Have you measured yourself? Sometimes we lose inches before we lose pounds on this diet.

At any rate, it is normal that you're not losing right now. Stick with it, and it'll start back up again. And welcome to the forums! I think you'll find a lot of great advice here.
