Default stalled, need a cheat day??

Hi,
I've been on Atkins for nine months now and down 70 lbs. Problem is I've stalled for the past three weeks, actually gaining 2 pounds this week. I'm close to my goal (10 pounds), but can't seem to move past this point. I've read where people have "shocked" their system with a carb day or even a carb weekend and began to lose again.
By the way, I have only cheated once since I've been on Atkins (a three day period in July while on vacation, eating anything I wanted). I didn't gain that week (but I didn't stall out afterwards either). I mention this so you don't think I'm just looking to cheat, I'm simply interested in seeing if this will jump start something.

Would love to hear your experiences on this subject. Thanks in advance!

Scott
