I gotta say... what you're doing is working! If it ain't broke don't fix it. Seriously.
Also, periods without weight loss followed by what we here fondly refer to as "whooshes" are perfectly normal. It is quite possible you are losing inches which don't show up on the scale. Are you measuring?
Also, Atkins specifically says that his plan is not a calorie counting plan. You now have a metabolic advantage and probably aren't eating too many or too few calories if you're losing like you are.
That being said, most of us aim for somewhere in the range of 10-12x weight. But, if I were you, I'd forget about calories and count carbs. Calories tend to be self-regulating on LC because fat is very filling.
Congrats on your weight loss so far!
