Yikes, my weight has increased to 63kg. My calories have stayed the same and my carbs low. I have been eating quite a bit of protein though and doing moderate exercise. Some of this excercise could be causing muscle gain as it could be described as strength training. For one, I am cleaning Jeswons 3 times a week and this involves a lot of sweeping and lifting and being on my feet. The other is walking my dog who is so powerful and determined that I can hardly hold him back. I suspect this could be really working many muscles in my body as I try to control him. I also suspect that eating a nutient dense diet will be allowing my body to construct itself in a very string and dense manner building up muscle tissue all over and making it stonger. Muscle weight more than fat. My clothes still fit me the same. I am thinking about the difference between a cheap clone dollmade of lkight plastic and a high qualioty one made from vinyl - the high quality one will weigh much more while still being the same size!!

Hi- don't want to sound like Im butting in- BUT you wont be gaianing any muscle unless you are taking testosterone. females don't produce it naturally and its that hormone that stimulates and aids in muscle production. Its one of the biggest misconceptions in Females that "they will get muscular" if they work out.
You may well be strengthening ligaments and tendons (ensure you drink plenty of water as this tissue needs to be hydrated for us "over 40's")
maybe substitute some of your protein for good fats (1g of protein = 4 calories, 1g of fats = 9 calories) or vice versa- weight loss isn't linear (as in you wont lose every week) subtle changes to foods and food intake need to be made constantly for fat loss. Its also vitally important to eat to your recommended daily calories- shooting under will stall fat loss and could cause a reverse dieting effect as the body will want to store more as you "use" more with the increased activity you are doing.
On the upside, eating less and moving more is far better than not...
