Fun, there are SOOOO many things that can influence weight loss, and the rate which the pounds come off.You don't say whether you exercise,or are taking supplements,and are your clothes getting looser? I have dieted in the past where the scale went up 7 lb. while my measurements were down 35 inches! Look at all the factors that are unique to your situation, maybe then consider doing the fat fast atkins speaks of in his book... I would consider keeping a journal and analyzing your food ratios, i.e., how much fat,carbs,proteins, calories on fitday.com first, to see where you are with things. Not getting enough or getting too much can determine loss as well. Good luck with your journey~
