Heaven knows there's gazillions of more qualified people on these forums than me, but some of my newbie gleanings may apply to you. Here's a couple of observations.
1. Read The Book! It has tons of info. You can get a lot out of it in a 30 - 60 min quick scan. I was eating way too many peanuts in the beginning, mostly due to my ignorance of the program.
2. Be Patient! I've observed some people on this forum drop weight like a rock, others have periodic stalls followed by big drops, and then there's the group (like me) that slloooowwly drop. At least I'm not gaining a half a pound every one or two weeks (like before).
3. Follow the advice from ImHere and post what you've been eating. There's lots of experience in this group. They may have some great advice concerning what you're eating. It's hard to say what you've been doing wrong (if anything), when no one knows what you're doing.
4. Whether you read the book or not, spend time reading the stuff on these forums. Lots of practical experience, that you won't find in the book, is made available free of charge.
5. Don't give up.
