Slow and steady wins the race. If you give up already, where would you be in 29 weeks time? Probably heavier! If you kept on and - worst case scenario - only lost on average half lb a week, you'd at least be half way to your target, and heading down not up!
You maybe need to eat more - your body might have gone into panic mode already (although that often happens around the 3rd week of a diet) and is holding onto the fat in case it never eats again! At the same time, you're building muscle mass with that exercise which is good because even when you're asleep, muscle burns calories, so over time the weight will start coming off! You've also only got a couple of stone to lose - people with dramatic first week weight losses might be trying to lose double or more! It's a hard fact but it's harder to lose if you're not hugely overweight to start off with.
So keep going. Make sure you're eating enough and maybe exercise a bit less, too! Sounds like you're overdoing it.
