I also didn't exercise. However, MFP said that if every day were like today, I'd lose 2 pounds in 5 weeks. Why wouldn't I gain weight?

Do you have your goal set to lose 2 lbs a week? If so, MFP has a 1000 calorie deficit worked into your goal. If you ate 830 over your goal, you are still eating 170 calories under maintenance, hence the weight loss.0
