Already shared this on my feed so sorry to my friends 
SOOOOO I decided to weigh myself today since I won't have access to the state of the art scale I have at work on 10/1. And the scale says I lost...drum roll please....ZERO POUNDS! However, I did measure myself and I'm down an inch in my waist. I'm eating the same amount of calories and exercising a heck of a lot more so I don't what else I can be doing to "lose weight". Although I'm disappointed the scale hasn't moved, I do have other things I proud of, like completely challenging work outs, being consistent in exercise and eating under 35 carbs a day (most days). Even today, my boss brought like 5 boxes of donuts, bagels and cream cheese to celebrate her birthday. Its literally 5 feet from my office. And it does not tempt me at all. I think that is waaaay better measure of how this WOE works!

Reading your post, I am seeing a lot of victories!
Consistent exercise, challenging yourself, eating within your carb limits, and ignoring the birthday office treats, losing in your waist...I'm very proud of you! You are doing such a great job and I know it's not easy to ignore the scale, but you are showing how successful you can be without it!

Thanks @samanthaluangphixay! Its hard to ignore that lying freakin scale, lol, but I do feel victorious! And strong! And generally good about myself I always think about you and @Sunny_Bunny_ and how evident it is that your are losing BF yet the scale doesn't move. 2
