Count calories, don't let a single (or even a few) week(s) discourage you. Keep doing research on workouts tailored to your goals. I'm not an expert, I only go to the gym 5 times a week for only 45 minutes each.
Re: From fat to fit
Vuk, if you are going more intense with your workout, you are converting the fat into muscle. So you won't 'loss weight', but you are losing fat. You also have to remember when starting to loss weight, it is generally the water which gets affected first, which is called 'water-weight'.
Honestly, keep up the determination and commitment, and you will succeed.

Muscle weights more than fat. Keep at it. You're beginning to build muscle to move your bulk around.

Re: From fat to fit
Don't worry too much about that.
I once managed to lose about 55 lbs and it took quiet a lot of patience. Stick to the healthy food (but sin once in a while or you'll never succeed) and the exercising and eventually, you'll be fine.
Losing weight is one step and all by all, it's doable once you're in the routine and get disciplined enough. The hardest part is to keep your weight once you're done dieting. You need to be determined to eat and drink healthy for the rest of your life (but by all means, dare to sin every once in a while).

Re: From fat to fit
I lost 12kg in four months nine years ago. I lost very little in the first two months and then it melted off.
When you weigh yourself during the day will impact how much you weigh. You fluctuate 2-4 pounds a day. Think about it that good glass of water is great, but if you have one before you weigh in you will unfairly beat yourself up about being a pound heavier.
Key things to remember is that you can hit weight loss on several fronts:
Diet
Exercise
Routine
Snacks
Sleep
Do not underestimate quality routine sleep. Not only do you burn more calories sleeping then watching TV, but good sleep improves Leptin use. If you get poor sleep as a guy you will get carbohydrate cravings and a host of other health sabotaging issues. Regular, routine, eight hours of sleep. So avoid caffeine late in the day and alcohol (it makes you sleepy but the detox of the alcohol drops the quality of the sleep).
Snacks; these are your secret weapon in weight loss. Eat the right snacks and your weight will drop. Eat a boiled egg, nuts, protein, fat. Make your own snacks, save money and you know what goes into them. Set up a routine and keep to it.
Now for the boring bit, keep a food diary. It often shocks people when they realize what and how much they eat. It is often the poor quality sweet snacks and extra sugar we sneak in that is the culprit.
Body weight exercises are inversely difficult to your weight. So look at adding light weights that keep away from your ankles. A lot of athletes with leg injuries walk in water as it supports their body weight, provides resistance and the water cools the body so it needs to burn energy to keep warm.
You weight will go up and down. But with enough sleep, the right food, increasing exercise and plenty of water you will see improvements.

That is more like it. Thanks for the encouragement all. I cannot understand it. This last week I did way less exercise than the week before (missed 3 days, and the others were shorter and less intense than usual) on account of crazy life messing everything up, and my diet suffered really badly. Somehow I lost over four pounds when I lost almost nothing the week before. lol Who am I to question? :P This week I am getting back on track. Worked like a trooper today and will for the rest of the week too.
