Apparently updating your stats didn't take, maybe you hit the wrong button after changing your numbers?
Anyways--you aren't losing at a rate of 4 pounds a month. So far, you've lost 4 pounds in a month. Obviously that first nine pounds wasn't all fat, that would be 36000 calories, you'd have been burning 2571 a day above what you were eating. So, like andante said, a lot of that will have been water. Water goes up, water goes down, in all probability your body got a bit ahead of itself in the water loss department, so for these two weeks, you may have regained water on a net basis, while losing fat--you really can't tell from these numbers, it's entirely possible that you actually lost more fat in the last half of the month than in the first half--even likely, since you would have had to burn through those glycogen stores before fat oxidation reached its peak.
As far as boring goes--boring isn't an inherent aspect of food. Is bacon dull? Cheese? Roast chicken? Do we get bored of the food--or bored of not eating the foods that give us trouble in the first place (that is, crave sugar, etc).
You might want to get one of Dr. Atkins earlier books, besides everything else, he was also a great song and dance man, I don't think the new guys are anywhere near as good as him at stressing how luxuriant and pleasurable a low carb diet can be. I wouldn't worry about what's happening on the scale at all, I'd concentrate on finding ways to make the food most interesting.
But, since I don't think your scale weight is a problem, I also think that stepping up to a slightly more liberal carb count might make the food more interesting, a two pound weight loss in two weeks that follows a nine pound weight loss in two weeks is not evidence of metabolic resistance that forces you to stay in induction. You can always go back down if it doesn't work for you. Long term, this only works if you find a way to like doing it.
