Hello and welcome, don't worry I haven't lost any weight either this week and I have only d=been doing it for 2 weeks, just keep going with it are you feeling like me that your clothes are fitting a bit better. Reading some of the post they say it can take time to show and measurements say more than weight.
Keep at it

Hi and welcome 
Weighing daily will not give you a true idea of your weight loss as your body weight varies naturally day to day. If you weigh on the same day each week around the same time of day you should notice the downward trend.
The first few weeks weight may go up and down a bit as the fat and water % in your body adjusts. Note also that if you go to the gym you may be swapping fat for muscle, which weights more. As your muscles tear they will hold more water before they repair/grow.
Scales which measure fat and water can be helpful as well as taking your measurements.
Do you have much to lose?

Hi Jarl1978 and an especially big welcome to the forum as you are our 5000th member.
Your weight on the scales is very variable and depends on many things apart from how much fat you may have lost. Water is a big factor. After exercise you retain water, fat loss can result in temporary water uptake, salt food can increase water plus food that is still "in transit" can add to your scale weight. If you were to weigh every day and make a graph you would find the line going up and down but slightly more down than up so showing a trend downwards. Don't worry about the scales nor showing a loss until you have been the same weight for over a month.
I'm sure it will be fine...give it more time!

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to stick with it. I would like to loose 2 stone. I have noticed my clothing is looser than it was
