I'm three months in to my training, and my weight initially went up 5 lbs during the first 6 weeks, and now I'm exactly where I started, 5'3", 126 lbs fed and clothed. I'm starting to look quite muscular, which is what I want, but although my weight hasn't changed, I look a lot thinner, almost too thin. I'm eating more than I've eaten for years, and I know muscle weighs much more than fat. Has my metabolism just kicked into gear from the proper diet and exercise? The weird thing is that my gym time is cut down by half right now because I've got too much school work to devote the time I'd like to. Any advice?

Yes keep on training when you can and continue to eat clean (and put in a pic!!!!! ;o).
You should be rather proud of yourself though 'cause you succeeded in doing what most people dream off.
Great thing!!

You have to be carefull when eating too cleanly and not getting enough carbs in. The more muscle you have, then the more energy you need to fuel your body.
You might not be getting enough carbs in and you're muscle have nothing left to get their energy from and are starting to break themselves down for energy.
Try eating more pasta or rice in your diet and see if that helps.

Actually, while I am doing the whole grain, lean protein, veggie/fruit thing, I still eat more carbs than I should. I'm a pasta princess- but my body seems to deal with it rather efficiently.
