[quote=Anonymous]There is so much misinformation in just a few posts. 
OP yes muscle weighs slightly more than fat but you (especially as a woman) wouldn't have gained enough muscle mass for that to constitute a reason for lack of weight loss. 
To the last PP, what do you mean cardio does not help with fat loss? Of course it can as long as you end up burning more calories overall (by living + exercise) than what you eat. Cardio is a great calorie burner. Yes strength training is great too, for different reasons. I agree with cutting down on carbs.

OP what do you mean by "watching" your calorie intake? Are you keeping track of all calories accurately? People are notoriously bad at estimating and eyeballing their intake and tend to underestimate how much they're eating. I use myfitnesspal to track cals and when I'm being strict about it I also measure or weigh my food. 
Exercise is great but if you eat more than you burn you won't lose fat. 
As to your specific issue, when someone starts a training programme the muscles often retain some fluid for repair.  It's possible the reason you're not seeing a change on the scale is because of water retention (or maybe you're eating more than you think). Is it possible to move one of your rest days to the middle of that 5 day stretch?

Good luck and keep us posted![/quote]
