Why have I only lost 0.66 pounds in a week?

I am a 22 year old, slightly overweight man. I eat too much. I binge on cake, chocolate, sweets etc.

For the first time I have gone a whole week without eating anything sugary. I was feeling proud of myself until I stood on the scales and I had only lost 0.66 pounds!!!

That is pathetic!! How can that be? I've been eating a million calories less and exercising loads more. I was expecting to have lost 1-2 pounds at least.

Whats going on?

Thank you.
