Wow, seems many of us are in similar places. I'm also 5'4" and about 135lbs. I dont care much about the number ont he scale, I just want to be less jiggly. I too was pretty dissappointed with my results after stage 1. My weight went up by 1.5lbs, and I felt like my pics looked exactly the same. I thought about cutting cals too but decided against it and will re-evalute when stage 2 is over. I know it's disheartening when you don't see changes. I tend to be an instant gratification type person so I was all upset that after stage 1 I wasn't already looking "goddess"-like. But I had to remind myself.... if this were easy, anyone could do it. And if that were the case everyone would look like a goddess all the time. So if I want results I have to A- work for it, and B- be patient.
Best of luck, I'm sure you'll be seeing results in no time :-)
