    Not alot to go with here.

    How long have you been eating in a deficit?

    Ok 4.5 lbs in 6 weeks isn't too shabby.

    As long as your calorie counting accurately it will take time for your body to adjust and start to consume your fat stores.

    Patience is the key to success... Don't give up!

    Would you mind sharing your stats? 4.5lbs doesn't mean anything without knowing your weight. But it's a very nice number, mind :) Also, did you start a new exercise recently? Do you have a menstrual cycle? How often do you weigh, and when during the day?

    over what period are you not losing weight - a day, a week, a month?

    do you weigh and measure everything you eat, then log it? are you logging all condiments, cream, alcohol, etc? are you making sure the database entries you choose for your foods are accurate, because many are wrong.

    First you say you haven't lost weight, then you say you lost 4.5 lbs. So you HAVE lost weight. You aren't going to drop 20 lbs in 4 weeks, so you need to change your expectations. A lb or so of loss per week is a perfect amount to lose, if you don't have a lot of weight to lose. It would help to know current stats to know how much you need to lose to give better info.
