After two weeks of weighing and measuring everything I eat, sticking to my calories and exercising like a demon I have lost the grand total of 1lb and that was in my first week!
Sorry to whinge but really can't see the point of this now...

You aren't eating enough. Read this thread. Re-read it if you have to. I'm most certain it'll help you.

What were you expecting? 1lb per week is a very healthy and acceptable weight loss for one week.
How long did it take you to gain the weight? I expect it took a lot longer than one week so you cannot expect to lose it all in that time.
Be patient, stick with it and give it time.0 -
^ what he said plus you are going to have to learn patience. This is not going to happen fast if you do it so it lasts.0

ah well... stay fat and unhealthy then!0 -
Then don't bother. I wonder how much you were expecting to lose right away? I didn't lose anything for a month when I started last year..... now I'm below my goal weight.
Don't bother trying then if you are ready to give up after 2 weeks, cause it's going to be a lot longer than 2 weeks to lose more than that. I'm at 15 months & counting so far.0 -
1 pound of fat is a lot more than you may think.. I felt like this too sometimes and I would go look up what a pound of it looks like and imagine that never being on my body again! It's empowering!! Plus 3,500 calroies is no small feat. Don't regret that pound you lost (= enjoy it and think about all the pounds you'll be adding to it in the future! You'll never regret continuing to try, you'll only regret giving up (=0

Losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Pick your hard.0

Be patient! In the first month of exercising after my 2nd baby (she was 7 weeks old when I started back) I lost something stupid like 2lbs! But I lost lots of inches. Are you measuring?
Imagine if I'd quit then. I wouldn't now be 60lbs down and a US size 8!
It takes time and effort, but it's so worth it. I saw this on Facebook - 'losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Pick your hard.'.0 -

Please don't give up I felt the same at the beginning. I've stuck to 1200 cals for the past 6 months, don't do much exercise apart from the odd walk a couple of times a week and I've now lost 25lb going from 154lb down to 129lb. I had hoped it would've dropped off quicker but it didn't, some times I stayed the same weight for weeks on end and this was very frustrating but eventually it started moving again. I'll be happy with another stone off.
Stick with it you'll get there. At least it was 1lb off this week and not 1lb on lol!0 -
That's because you've got a weak mentality.0

as the others said, 2 weeks typically wont show a loss if u are losing weight the healthy way. even if u lost 5 lbs, it would be water weights- its not like u will see a physical difference in 2 weeks0

Get a grip..it's been only two weeks!!0
