    Most of it's probably water weight. Just start logging again and any actual weight will drop off pretty quickly. I gained 5lbs on vacation, within a week 3lbs was gone and by 2 weeks out I was back into my rhythm. Just have to start logging again!

    Perspective!!!!

    You go on holiday for 2 weeks and gain 7 lbs, most of which is probably water retention from getting more sodium than you were used to.

    So, you have two options.

    Give up, or..

    Go back to a daily routine that includes a sustainable weight loss plan.

    You alone can decide what motivates you.

    Probably water retention. If you went by plane that's quite likely as most people seem to store extra water when flying.
