Ok, so i'm one of those people who can't resist the urge to jump on the scale daily. It's like spoiled milk in the fridge - you know it's gonna smell bad but you still stick your nose in it to make sure 
Anyway, i lost 8 pounds week1 and then gained over half of it back at the begining of week two. Until the last 3 days. I've lost 1.5 pounds yesterday and the day before and almost TWO pounds today! I check my weight every morning first thing when i wake up.
Since I started i've basically made no changes to my menu, which is:
breakfast: 3 eggs (cooked differently every day so i don't get bored), 2oz of cheese, and either half a cucumber or 1 tomato.
lunch: grilled meat and salad
dinner: same as luch, some times exchanging the salad for tomato or cucumber (love tomatos!)
A couple of things i did change.First, i changed the types of meat i grill. Used to buy meats with very little fat, but after reading about too much protein i switched to fattier ones - they taste better anyway. And second, I started making an effort to plan when i eat. I used to eat when i'm hungry, but doing that i ended up eating late (1-2 hours before bed time). Planing out my meals has helped me to make sure I don't eat so close to bed time, and If not helping my weight loss, it definately helped me feel better.
Oh, and water. I'm up to 80oz a day, and I still feel that i'm not drinking enough.
Figured I'd share for those like me who get a in a stall/regain early on and get discouraged. As long as you know you're not cheating (on purpose or accidentally) then results will come, don't give up!
