Weight gain mystery

About 8 weeks ago my wife and I replaced almost all of our food with
"organic" foods. We have been eating 4-6 small meals every day and are
consuming a "healthy" level of calories for stable/slow weight loss.
Throughout this time we have noticed signs of fat loss like our clothes
getting loose, my wife's rings are falling off her fingers, visibly
noticeable, etc. Now, the weird thing is that our scale is telling us
we're gaining weight at ~ .5 lbs / wk. We don't understand it at all. Up
until this point we haven't done any type of exercising that would
increase muscle mass so I don't believe it's muscle gain. We feel great
and are seeing signs of better health, but this weight gain is a trip.
By-the-way, our current weight is that we're both about 15-20lbs
overweight. Any ideas? Thanks,

THis does sound "illogical" I'd consider using different scales to see
if that would give you different data. Or maybe put new batteries into
your current scales or test it with things you know the wight of very
accurately.
