Did you take body measurements too? Are your clothes looser?

I lose it and then I gain it. I seem to be at a stand still and am not sure if this is normal or what.

Yes, it's not unusual for your weight loss to slow down or even pause in the second week of Induction. There will be weeks when you'll lose more, weeks when you'll lose nothing and even weeks when you'll gain. As long as the trend is downward and you stick to the plan, nothing to be worried about.
There seems to be a lot of protein and little fat in your menu. Atkins is high fat, moderate protein, low carb and excess protein can be converted into glucose, so we have to be careful not to overeat it. For Induction, the percentages you should aim for are 65% fat, 5% carbs and 30% protein.
I don't know how many cups of vegetables you're eating, but we should be eating 3 during Induction. You can add more in OWL Rung 1.
Atkins products sometimes stall weight loss, so it's better not to have them, especially during Induction.
Is your coffee decaf?
