    2 Lbs is well within the realm of perfectly normal weight fluctuations. You aren't going to lose weight in a linear fashion all the way through. Here's what losing weight actually looks like over time when plotted on a graph. Ultimately you want to be looking at the overall trend, not obsessing about individual data points.

    2 Lbs could just be a normal fluctuation...it could also be attributable to more sodium if you were eating out a lot. Also, if you traveled by air, air travel tends to cause bloating and water retention in most people. To actually have gained 2 Lbs of fat you would have had to eaten 7,000 calories over your maintenance requirements over the course of your trip...the likelihood of doing that and not knowing it is pretty slim.

    Plus Disney = a LOT of salty food. It's probably partially just the water. 20 lbs down is great! I'm 0 pounds down at present...
