Please tell your wife, that trace IS a positive reading, and that is all that is necessary. You are not burning any more, or any faster, because your strip is darker. Sometimes a lack of water may cause a darker strip and in the same way, lots of water may dilute the urine sample. NOT to worry!!
Also, remind her that men will lose faster - much faster - on this WOE (a fact that all us women could rather do without!!).
Women have lots of biological reasons as to why their metabolisms are different, sometimes resistant, sometimes downright counterproductive - such as cycle time, hormones will cause a temporary water retention. the "whoose" will happen for her in her own good time!!
You are both doing great...as long as you are moving in the direction of your goals...count that as a success!!
Good luck.
