How can I tell if weight is being gained from fat or muscle? I'm losing inches but not weight. What's going on?

    Can you open your diary? Are you doing any strength training?

    I don't see the problem if you're losing inches (would indicate you're losing fat). Weight loss isn't linear, stick with what your doing for a few weeks and if the weight still isn't shifting, reassess.

    You may want to get skin calipers to roughly measure Body Fat %. This will give you a clue about body fat loss.
