You said you are losing weight, so if you are losing weight including the veggies, don't worry about the sticks for now. I spent more money on sticks during early Atkins and guess what? ... they didn't always turn purple and I still lost weight. There are other signs of ketosis which you probably know by now ... a metallic taste in your mouth (I just felt I needed to brush my teeth more frequently), bad breath, stinky urine. Depending on how much water you drink, you may be diluting your urine enough not to register on the sticks.

My message is to trust your weight loss and your body to tell you. Don't rely on the sticks, solely.
