Webbie,
I've gained 3 pounds, and that's with going to the gym almost daily for about 6 weeks now... Muscle weighs more than fat, don't cha know?

Now, it's simply a matter of calories in and calories out. We know that.
I have had lots of luck with the scarlesdale medical diet in the past. I am wanting to get back to it, but, not disciplined enough right now. Here's a link:

And don't forget pedagogue's site, Struggling with Food

Hope these help. Don't forget the carrot sticks when you stop at the grocery store next time.
Shalom!
