Default 2 weeks postpartum and starting over

I am 37 years old and currently 2 weeks postpartum. A few years ago I lost a total of 40 pounds on the Atkins diet. It was so easy the weight just seemed to pour off and I loved the diet!! This pregnancy I gained quite a bit of weight and now weigh about 10 pounds more than i weighed when I began the Atkins diet a few years ago. I decided in my third trimester of pregnancy that I would begin the Atkins diet again my first postpartum day! Well I did that and I am not seeing any results. As I said I am now 2 weeks postpartum. I am beginning to feel a bit discouraged also very scared that I won't lose this weight!!! I am also exercising 5 days a week. Has anyone ever heard of someone not being able to lose weight on the Atkins diet? If so why? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Oh I am also breastfeeding my son but
I would think that would just help with my weight loss?!?
