I had the same question in mind as Jay. Yes, how are you tracking your calories? Are you accounting for every crumb, bite, lick and taste? Are you being consistent. Even one "off day" can easily offset the other "good ones".

Im trying to remember that muscle weighs more than fat.. but its hard not to get discouraged.
Oh and one pound of muscle weighs the same exact thing as one pound of fat, although it takes up less room in the body. And it does take months and month to build up muscle. But the good thing is, any muscle gained is a good thing.
I just reread your post. I see it's only been a week. Maybe you just need to give it some more time. Weight loss is not an instant gratification type thing. But keep in mind, that if you stick with a healthy eating plan, create a calorie deficit, there is no way that you can't lose. Stick with it. Just keep on going and the weight will come off.
