we were taught on a training course at work (to run a weightloss clinic) that in the first one to two weeks of a new exercise program, weight can increase or stay the same as the body worries and retains excess fluid and increases blood stores in the liver.
Your body also builds muscle quickly, and not out of fat thats burned. Exercise tears the muscle fibres which must then be repaired with proteins. They grow back larger to take the extra strain.
But like you said, everyone is very different and will lose weight differently. I have known people lose weight fine in the first week of exercise, i have known more who didnt but were pleased with a substantial loss the following week. We need to recognise our own body's trends to see how we lose weight.
For example, i know if i have bread as healthy extras most of the time, my losses are rubbish, but if i switch to cereals and crispbreads they're fine. I think the body is just plain weird lol!

don't you think you could squeeze in just one little session on the bike before bed? The feeling of accomplishment will be worth it, and weightloss is better when exercise is spread over the course of the day
