Just to give you some hope : )
I started CD in July 2012 weighing 12 st 4. I lost 8lbs in the first week and then had a few weeks where the scales refused to budge. It almost drive me mad. However, I gritted my teeth and did SS for 7 weeks. At the end of those 7 weeks I was 10 st 5. I now eat completely normally and maintain my weight at around 9 st 5 to 9 st 7. I've been at target for over a year.
I was a compulsive p*sser on stick-er. I've now realised it doesn't actually mean anything. ( but if you must, cut the sticks vertically in half to double them ) . I just had three products a day, drank no more than 1.5 litres of water a day ( no need to drink more than 2 litres - it's seriously put dated advice and will just mean that your body retains water and your kidneys are placed under stress ) oh and a coke zero every other day.
Just grit your teeth, have the correct amount of products a day, don't cheat ... And you will see results. Its also better to view your results over a 4 week period.
Lots of luck
