I have been dieting (~1300 cal/day) / exercising (1/2 hr jog or 1 hour
walk daily) for about three weeks now and I have lost about 2 pounds.
Is this normal? Should I do something different or just wait?

153.5 / 151.2 / 125

How tall are you Joanne? How do you know your number of calories, do
you weigh and log your food? Is your period due shortly?

Yes, I weigh & log all food (I use the Diet Power software & a postal
scale).
I had my period about 1.5 weeks ago.

I was wondering if perhaps I was building a little muscle as I had
been almost completely sedentary before starting. Or, is my body just
weird?

I often find that starting a new or different exercise routine will
sometimes stall weight loss. IIRC someone mentioned the muscles were simply
retaining water causing a temporary weight gain.
