I think that the important thing is you are losing inches. You can get that zipper up now. Yay! Sometimes it just takes a little time for the results to show on the scale. You could also be building muscle, which weighs more volume for volume than fat which would explain it.

Happy continued losing!

Agreed. The most important thing is that you're losing inches, and looking great. Unless you're a professional athlete, the numbers on the scale don't matter, because eventually it will go down (water retention also plays a big role in weight loss during Atkins, or lack thereof). Don't worry about it. Gaining muscle coudl also be a possibility, and seeing as you're a female, you sure you're not overdoing the weights a bit? Heheh j/k, stick with cardio and aerobics and you'll be fine.
