    0.6 kg may seem only little, but it's perfectly fine for a week and by no means too slow. I wouldn't get my hopes up about losing much more in a week the healthy way.

    But perhaps instead of doing cardio alone, you can try adding some excercise that adds strength training. Go lifting if you can, try a Jillian Michaels video, or do it yourself at home through squats and push-ups.... These will not necessarily increase weight loss, but you will build muscle and strength and lose inches, giving your body a better shape.
