What am I doing wrong? I've only lost 1.5 pounds so far in 2 weeks? I weight 140 pounds. I am going to start going to the gym next week. My metabolism is real slow from doing liquid diets on and off for the past 3 years.
The only thing I'm not doing is eating the salad/veggies as I should but I'm not sure if that is what's causing me not to lose as fast. Any suggestions?
Please help...

You're not doing anything wrong and you provided the explanation yourself. You don't have a lot to lose to start with, so you don't see the big drops in the beginning. You've also damaged your metabolism through other crazy diets.
Be patient, focus on developing new habits that you can sustain long term. Go to the gym because it's good for you, not in order to lose weight. In fact, sometimes that can backfire on you, especially if you're looking closely at weekly losses. It's better for you long-term though, so find something you can keep up.
Eating veggies and salad provides nutrients, fiber, and helps you feel more satisfied by eating more quantity. Do what you can, again because it's good for you, not because it will or won't help you lose weight more quickly.
