Well done you!

I was disheartened at the end of my first month at Curves to find that my weight and body fat were the same, even though they said that I'd "lost" four inches. For all I know, that's just the difference in people doing the measurements.

I'll keep going for another month, at least, to see if that changes. I find that months that I get way too little sleep (like last month), I seem to gain weight anyway. (That's apparently a documented phenomenon. If you aren't sleeping enough, you don't produce enough of the hormone that tells you that you're full.)

my trainer assures me...

but you are rigth--there are two factors that both my Covey coach and the lead personal trainer at the Y have cited--adequate hydration (what they call "adequate" feels like drinking from a fire hose--and if you're a male, being a fire hose--until your body adjusts) and appropriate rest.

I'm doing okay on hydration--keep forgetting to rest.

oh--and WW would add "portion control," which basically means measuring out what you're putting in rather than relying on the faulty measure of "feeling full," which can obviously be impacted by more factors than how many calories one consumes...
