Lori. It sounds like you are doing all the right stuff. Did you post in fitday yet? i know it is a bit time consuming at first, but if you are doing strict induction it should be a breeze. All the same foods over and over. Maybe some of the more experienced players can look at your fitday and see something you are missing - like percentage fat to carbs and protien, and total cals. BTW are you exercising. Your new muscles would weigh more than your missing fat.
