Why won't the weight come off?

I've been working out at the gym for 3 weeks now. I do 25-30 minutes on the eliptical and another 25-30 with the weight machines. I've tried to keep my diet at 1500 but sometimes (often) it floats up to 1700 or so.

I have lost some inches but the scale has not moved and I haven't lost inches in 10 days. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? With me burning up so many calories at the gym I can't go below 1500 calories a day...I do need some energy.

Also, I have a blood sugar problem and if I don't eat enough, especially in the afternoon, my blood sugar drops so far that I am shaky and weak and then end up eating quite a few calories to get it back to normal. Yes, I've had it tested, I'm in the pre-diabetic range.

So my question really is (you knew I'd get around to it, right?) should I be doing something different with my exercise regime? Maybe more or longer cardio?

I'm feeling so frustrated at this point! If I go on a 1300 calorie a day diet I can lose 5 pounds in a week but that is about as long as I can stay on it. I want a healthy lifestyle change, not a diet.
