From what I've seen, on Atkins or pretty much any other diet, people usually lose about a pound a week. More, if they are very heavy (like over 250 pounds) and less, if they are lighter (175 and less) or older, or women, or not very active.
People who diet-jump looking for the "magic" solution that will get weight off faster don't usually do well long-term.
My advice is to pick a plan that you find easy to live with and follow it for a long time - well beyond the initial quick-loss phase (for me, low carb fits the bill because I like the foods and love the decreased hunger).
