You may want to sign up at fitday.com and track your food for a week or two. You can use fitday to determine your base metabolic rate which gives you a good idea of how many calories a day you should be shooting for. It also allows an opportunity (if you choose) to let someone take a look at your daily menu to suggest modifciations that might further help your efforts.

I know when I use fitday it helps me find hidden carbs (like cheese, mustard, pickles, etc) and helps keep me on track as far as eating enough food. I had slow weight loss last time I tried Atkin's but I think it may have been from not eating enough food and entering starvation mode!

I know if I had slow weight loss over 4 weeks, I'd be frustrated, so I applaud you on sticking with it through the rough times -- I'll have to think of your tenacity when I hit a slow few weeks!
