You have not mentioned what you are actually doing for a diet. You said you were starting one, but what type of diet is it? Excactly what do you eat, how much, and how often? That is important.
Having said that, it is common for people to feel generally "unwell" during the first week of strict diet. Your body is going through a lot of changes, metabolic adjustments, changes in your blood glucose levels, etc... Extreme hunger, fatigue, headaches, and other symptoms are not uncommon.
In regard to your inability to lose pounds, it would really help to know the specifics of what you are eating. How many calories? What types of foods? When and where do you eat?
The truth is that the only way the body can lose pounds is if it burns more calories than it consumes. This is accomplished in several ways - 1. reducing the calorie consumption, 2. increasing excercise, and 3. altering the metabolism in some other way. Most dieters use some combination of these.
If you give me more specifics I can give you some suggestions. How old are you? What is your current height and weight? Do you excercise?
