gaining pounds and inches - frustrated

I'm almost at the end of stage 1 of NROLFW. It's a heavy lifting program, and I've been doing it for about 6 weeks. I haven't really seen any results at all, except weight gain. For the first 4 weeks of the program, I was following the calories listed in the book (2200 lifting days, 2000 non-lifting days). Then I went down to the 'fat burning' calorie amount (1900 lifting days, 1700 non-lifting days). I keep gaining weight. While I realize some of it is muscle, I haven't gained 8 pounds of muscle in 6 weeks. My clothes are noticeably tighter, but nothing else is. My measurements have gone up as well.

Since I started, I have gotten significantly stronger, but I am a bit disappointed as I've seen others have amazing results in stage 1. I'm sticking with the program, I just feel a little bummed out and frustrated that I've been following the program and haven't seen any improvement.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be more than happy to hear them.
