Just, 5 lbs in 7 days is great - don't be so hard on yourself! The goal of LC is permanent sustained fat loss - you need to let your body lose the fat at a rate that it can handle safely. You also need to allow yourself the time to learn new behaviours; you must be able to keep eating this way for the rest of your life to keep the fat off.
Keep up what you're doing and possibly drink more water - dark purple on those stix is usually a sign of dehydration - something you want to avoid. Water is what flushes out your body and keeps you hydrated - more water equals greater fat loss.
Hang in there and let this WOE work for you - and remember that when you lose fat your body needs time to readjust to your new size - fat cells are nortiously resistant to shrinking, it is the water that gets them to cooperate. Also, keep in mind that 2 lbs of fat lost a week is the maximum safe amount for women - anything more is usually an indication of muscle or water loss.
