Default Am I a Turtle?

I'm not sure if I qualify to be a turtle or not. So please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I've been doing this WOE since April 1, 2002 and haven't lost a single pound. I've noticed a definite increase in energy and a decrease in bloating, however. I was keeping my carbs below 10 for over two months. I was then told I wasn't following the diet (Atkins) by the rules.
So last week I added more veggies, between 15-20g a day. I exercise 6 days a week and my calories range from 1700-2200. I only allow myself either 1 oz.of cheese or 1 Tbsp of cream a day. I don't eat the bars or drink the shakes or caffeine and am taking a multivitamin.

Since adding the veggies, last week, my clothes are tighter than ever. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I just don't get it.

Here's my menu today:
B=2 Eggs, 2 oz. canadian bacon, cabbage fried in butter w/2tsp. parmesan
S=1 handful of pork rinds
L=Spinach salad w/homemade blue cheese dressing and 4 oz. steak
D=4 oz. chicken breast, 1 Tbsp Mayo, 1 strip of bacon and spinach salad w/olive oil
My carb/protein/fat split is usually very close to: 5/30/65
