This is a pretty common occurrance when you start LCing, Twinkle. It's a sign that the carbs you think you're eating may not be the carbs you're actually eating - that is you're underestimating and need more. Using a site like www.fitday.com will definitely help you keep track of your intake (both calorie and carbs).
Keep in mind that many of us lose better with more carbs. I am once such. Also keep in mind that not all carbs are created equal. Eating a slice of bread might not have produced the same results for you.
LC is one big learning curve - you spend much of the time learning what works for you. Just dont expect such results every time you eat an apple
