Been doing this for months and I haven't gained a single pound. I have a 28" waist. So WTF?????

Either your basal metabolic rate is high, you are very active or a combination.
The cop out that it is not as simple as calories in calories out is like saying "I'm getting further in debt, but it has nothing to do with my income or how much I'm spending.".
For everyone who is overweight (I'm looking in the mirror here too BMI of 29), there is a calorie intake that is necessary for them to lose weight. Just because it's harder for some due to BMR than others doesn't change fact. A healthy body fat percentage is attainable for EVERYBODY (minus a very small percentage of people who cannot safely excercise)
