Muscles!
How are your eating habits?
You should measure key parts of your body and then measure after a week and see if there's a difference. You might be toning your body but keeping your weight the same.

How long have you been doing the plan for? Sometimes it also takes a bit of time for your body to adjust to the changes before the pounds start shedding. Don't let this stop you, just keep pushing forward.
When you go to the gym, include weights also - that will really help!. Make sure you also eat enough, because if your body doesn't have enough energy, you can't burn it correctly. If anything, have a bit more for lunch, and lighter at dinner, but just make sure you're giving enough nutrients to your body.
Give it another week or two - you'll start noticing the difference - I promise!!!
I was in your boat also because I didn't notice the change right away, but after a bit my body started toning up :) You can do it!!!!

your diet has a lot of sodium which is my mortal enemy too. When i cut out salt, i lose weight. I'd recommend staying away from hot sauce and soups. and increase cardio and decrease weight lifting until you lose the weight you want then increase weight training to tone muscles (but not build).

Your body is in starvation mode. I can tell from what your eating. If you need help fm me.

muscle... Unless you feel fatter and your clothes are tighter then youre probably eating too much... I do this too... If youre eating less and exercising you will not gain weight!!! Try WW. It helps!!

Generally when you consume under 1200 calories a day you go into starvation mode and your metabolism slows and holds on to the fat for energy.

It's definetly not muscle- women don't gain muscle in one month. Just doesn't happen.
Sometimes it does take awhile to see progress.
I agree with a previous poster, it sounds like you aren't eating enough! Find out how many calories you should be consuming per day, subtract 500 from that. This would be your target caloric intake to lose weight. If you're working out non stop, you should definatly be eating more. You could probably use more protein too.
Good luck! Don't give up though. You sound like you're very motivated!

Re: i have been dieting and working out NON STOP.
From what you wrote on whar you eat you are def not eating enough. You need to eat more protein,fruits and veggies. Don't forget a cheat day as well since you are more likely to fail a diet if you try to avoid things. Also you need to eat a little more if u work out. Def try ww it will figure out how many calories and what not you can eat by their points system. I've lost 10lbs in 6 weeks and I've been eating normal just portion control and working out at least 3 days a week.

3 egg whites, apples and soup for one day plus working out? Im sorry, that is not going to make you gain weight... I eat 1600 a day and i lose like 3lbs a week without working out.
and no youre definitely not eating enough if thats what youre eating... How do youhave the energy to work out??
PS get the biggest loser DVD cardio max... its twenty minutes and i use it w/ the gym its great!!

Definitely start eating more! Make sure you try to eat a protein, veggie and fruit with every meal. It works!
