Hermiones Mom's Journal, 11 January 2016

So I must be this week's poster child for unexplained weird weight gain. I just couldn't believe it yesterday when the scale showed a five pound weight gain since the week before Christmas. I knew I had gained at least a pound, but five pounds was ridiculous, and it was discouraging because of the fact that I had felt relatively confident that I had behaved pretty well over the holidays and had been foolish enough to journal that fact. So when I got on the scale yesterday, I was just stunned. Today I decided to get back on the scale, and sure enough, my five pound weight gain had been transformed to a one-pound weight gain. Phew! I am so very relieved. Now I know I can make it through a full month of holiday departures from the plan and not balloon up to a dangerous level. Thanks everyone for all the support on FS. I wouldn't make it without you.

P.S.
I have to put in another journal note: When I hit "save" to record today's weight, I got a dialogue box that said: You are losing weight at an extremely rapid weight. Click "save" to accept this weight or enter a new weight.

Then after I saved the weight, this is what FS said:

My Weigh in Report

You lost 4.0 lb (2.3 %) since you last weighed in on Sunday 10 Jan 16.
At that rate it will take you about 2 weeks to get to your goal weight.

I had to save this in my journal, as it is unlikely I will ever see a note like this again.

172.6 lb Lost so far: 61.4 lb.    Still to go: 30.6 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
