I know how you feel!
I, too, have gone without losing a pound and I immediately posted on here and found that it's normal. I had the thought that I went through all this pain and expense and it's not working. WRONG! I start my 6th week out today and I've lost 43 lbs. I found, strangely enough, that I probably wasn't eating enough and put myself into starvation mode. I increased what I ate, increased my water and the pounds started melting off again. I have to keep telling myself that I can't possibly eat enough to gain weight anyway. I started keeping track of what I eat on Fitday.com and it really helps. It's actually difficult for me to get in enough nutrition.
Everyone loses at different rates. Like the others have said, use the tape measure and don't rely on the scale too much. My husband had to hide our scale because there were days that I would get on it more than once. I was making myself crazy. Have you noticed a difference in how your clothes fit yet? I lost in my face and shoulders first. I think my belly is holding on for dear life, but eventually I'll win the battle.
Keep posting on here. These ladies and gentlemen know what they're talking about. They've kept me sane for these few weeks.
Good Luck!
