Oh my goodness! Yes, that is a fantastic weight loss.
Generally, weight loss that fast is considered to be unhealthy, so I was preparing my standard 'it is unneccessary and a bit obsessive to stay at 20g of carbs' rant, but your 60-100g sounds great, provided you are following Atkins guidelines on GI and the ladder. DO NOT lower it - I don't think it would be healthy to lose faster, it could effect your sports performance for a while as you adjust, and if you lose faster at your weight you could end up with baggy skin issues which are NOT FUN. I would look at how much you are eating - I wouldn't change carbs but just make sure that you actually are eating whenever you are hungry - otherwise your speedy weight loss now could be too fast in terms of plateus later.
Going back to induction is a big no no if you've been successful. See 'the uses and abuses of induction' on the Atkins site.
All in all, I think many people are envious of your results. I would think being very active is helping you out. Continue as you are, and you'll be maintainting in no time (or trying to maintain and not lose more!)
