Those were Dr Ben's exact words to me today! LOL!
Heather, it's possible that you are taking in too few calories because you are burning off what you are taking in your body is starting to store the remaing calories/fat of what you are eating. I found that when I eat really well and work out like crazy, nothing. Then for 2 days I dont eat so well and then bam, down 1-2 lbs it seems, all because the calorie intake was higher. Try eating a few more calories and see what happens. I bet your body is starting to store the "fat" you are taking in becuase it's not much at all.
Oh, and you are doing weight training as well so using those muscles burns tons of calories and using those muscles we need high protein/calories to repair the muscles from those type of workouts and again, if you are not taking in enough your body is basically starving itself for them and storing everything.
