    You are probably eating more then you think and not burning what you think. But remember that muscle weighs more then fat.

    Muscle DOES NOT weigh more than fat. .....it is more dense than fat.....you can't turn fat into muscle and muscle does not turn into fat.

    OP, just wanted to reiterate the good advice to drown out the bad :angry:

    Pick up a $15 digital food scale. Commit to two weeks of logging every single thing you eat, every day, using the food scale as often as possible. This will give you a clear view of how much you are eating and will probably show you exactly where the problem is. And if you can, stick with using the scale as often as possible, it really isn't as annoying as it sounds once you get into the habit!

    Eat the calories MFP gives you, log your exercise and eat back some of those calories, and be patient. Good luck!

    Only in relation to volume. A pound is still a pound.
