Do right and not lose a pound ... WHY?

It's taken me 6 months to lose about 4 inches off my waistline! I'm jealous of your progress.

Honestly, if you're seeing physical changes, you can totally ignore the scale. The physical changes are a direct result of your hard work, and you'll probably see the pounds come off eventually. You've made huge progress in a month, and if your trainer isn't being supportive of that, then maybe it's a problem with the trainer? Until a few months go by where you don't lose inches OR pounds, I would just keep doing what you're doing. Good luck, and remember - people can see inches, not pounds, it's not like you go around with your weight written on your forehead.
