Don't get discouraged! I lost exactly one pound the whole first MONTH I was working on stuff from this website...but I was stronger all 'round and had lost strategic inches. You can do it!

I *feel* awesome. Like I'm in the best shape of my life.. I can run without getting winded immediately. I can walk up stairs without getting winded. I feel like, in that sense, I've accomplished something but the numbers are still not on my side!! It's SO frustrating.

And Spark... thank you. That gives me hope.. I'll keep at it.

You said yourself that the scale is not always the best gauge. If you feel happier and stronger, then you are working out great. From what I saw from you, your eating habits were not really healthy and you are changing them now. This will almost always change your water balance (or whatever you call it in english), so not losing weight is not weird at all. How are your other measurements, are they changing positively? Just look at the long term, that is far more important than looking at thes...
