Firstly, I know that its frustrating when the scale dosnt seem to reflect the hard work. Hang in there tho, there are other ways to measure success, and there will likely be small gains and plateau's along the way- so be prepared and keep pushing thru!
I am one who beleives in the thinking that in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. BUT there is alot more involved than it being that simple. There is your BMR to consider, your height, current weight, age and exercise level to consider. Eating too little calories can have a negative effect, especially if you do alot of exercise. Keep in mind that you just started "accurately" counting calories a day or so ago.
