I know I'm impatient

I've been doing c25k and p90x consistently for 3 weeks now, I've been logging everything I eat and sticking to my calories. I don't eat processed foods, only real stuff. Eat 90% of meals cooked at home. I do have the occasional wine. Some days I do eat the extra calories I get from working out. I have not lost a lb, I've actually gained 3lbs!? No change in measurements either.
What gives?? Do I need a bigger deficit?

I found that I wasn't losing weight when I was working out and eating back my "earned" calories. I use a HRM too. I stopped working out for the most part and thus stopped eating back those calories and I'm losing again. Not that you should stop working out, but I walk a ton most days during the week, so working out isn't something I'm super concerned about right now.

Like others have already stated, weigh everything you put in your mouth and be sure that the stuff you are logging in the database is correct (usda at the end, or verified foods)

I like this website if I'm unsure: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods

How many calories are you eating each day?

Between 1300-1600

With a new exercise program, you can be retaining water that actually masks loss. Regardless, three weeks isn't long enough. Additionally, without weighing all of your food, you have no idea what you're intake really is.

When I started c25k, I gained two pounds the first week and didn't lose them for four weeks. Be patient; your hard work will pay off

I had exactly the same when I did Insanity (I wasn't using MFP at the time).

It's horrible thinking you're killing yourself doing all these workouts and not seeing any progress, I found it really demotivating.

I ended up gaining weight too but like yourself I'm much fitter now, can run for longer etc!

It does come though, keep it up!

You have started with new/more exercise, so your muscles are retaining water to help with recovery. Keep doing what you are doing, it will work....

^^ this. water retention lasts around 4-6wks if you are new to exercise. just keep it up. 3wks is way too early to be seeing much results anyway.

Since according to your ticker you have only 10 pounds to lose you should try to weigh almost everything since it gets harder to lose on a deficit when it comes down to the wire. Now if you had let's say a 100 or more pounds to lose you could be more lenient with your deficit & still lose.
