You are losing bodyfat.....and gaining some muscle.

You really can't tell with 15 pounds. Hydrostatic weighing is really the best method for determining the proportion but hard to do.

I am certain you lost fat, water, and muscle (I lost noticeable muscle at 30 pounds down

), but how much of what....who knows?
