I'm happy, but this doesn't sound right

September 13, 2004

A while back I made my goal. Since we were going on a 2.5 week vacation and I

didn't want to worry about counting points (and I wanted to eat whatever I

wanted) I kept losing. When we left I was around 105 lbs. (I am only 5' tall,

btw). When we got back I weighed 108.5 lbs-I ate a lot of fast food and other

junk but we did a lot of walking and climbing stairs. When I started counting

points again (the monday after we got back) I was at 107.5 lbs. I set my points

to 24 per day (for maintenance) and then I ate like crazy. I ate a candy bar

every day, sometimes 2. I counted points, but I went over every day by 5 or 6

and used all of my flex points and then some-something I had never done before

my vacation. I didn't do any exercise whatsoever. The only change I made was to

make sure I got 3 dairy servings a day-before vacation I hadn't done that at

all. Plus I've been drinking one cup of green tea each day. So now after that

first week I weigh in today and am still at 107.5 lbs. How did I not gain

weight? (My goal was originally 115 but since I got so low I decided to make it

around 110 so I was prepared to gain a pound or two). Could my scale not be

working? It is supposed to be a good one-it's a tanita solar scale that good

housekeeping rated excellent and accurate a few years ago.
