Ruby,
Be patient. Two weeks time is no where near enough to see results.

CW gave some great advice. I'd like to add though DO NOT FAST, especially if you are working out. Fasting could very well be the reason you haven't budged. Not eating will slow your metabolism and ultimately make you gain weight.
You want to make sure you are getting the most out of your workouts. Your body will not be able to perform at it's best if you are starving.

You don't need any diet supplements, just eat regularly and eat a healthy, balanced diet. Be patient and work hard...it will happen. Am I reading your post right? You want to lose 30 pounds? The safest way to lose weight and the best way to keep it off is to do it slowly (by making lifestyle changes that you'll stick with forever) 1-2 pounds a week is realistic. Don't focus on the scale every day. It's better to judge by how your clothes are fitting. Our bodies (especially women) fluctuate so much at any given time. (today I weighed 5 pounds more than I did on Friday) Keep working hard and weigh yourself first thing in the morning, once a week. And remember that muscle weighs more than fat so you could theoretically gain weight yet you clothes could be bigger on you.
Ultimately, it's about being active and healthy. Don't rush it and you'll succeed.
