I'm on vacation. Left Saturday where I weighed 250 and my scale at home fluctuated by only 4 lbs. I go and work out and get on hotel gym it says 266 how in the world have I've gained 16 pounds. I'm eating no fried foods and getting my protein in. I did ear subway maybe it's the bread although it was wheat. Can't eat too much it hurts. I'm depressed

It's just a different scale. For accuracy, is the same scale. My home scale is 10 lbs different from my doctor. Don't sweat it.

You know the answer: it's not possible for you to have gained 16 pounds like that.

its just a differently calibrated scale, probably along with some travel and time related water weight. I saw my longest plateau around 7 weeks.

I never trust hotel or gym scales. They are not always accurate. You have to only use your scale. When I traveled, I did not weigh myself. I worked out and ate extremely healthy. When I got home....only lost 1.4lbs lol. It was muscle though. I did a lot of weight lifting and swimming that week.

While on a cruise I did weigh myself. But I didn't care what the starting weight was. I knew it wouldn't match my home scale. I just weighed in every 3 or so days to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Comparing my new weight to the starting weight helped me avoid anxiety that I was totally off plan. Cruise was 16 days plus travel time etc....21 days between Dr office weigh ins and I lost 4lbs while on vacation.

As others said, don't focus on it. It's going to have a different reading than your own. As you're on vacation you also have the possibility of bloating or water retention from experiencing a different lifestyle while traveling. Personally I'd avoid the scale until a few days after I've returned home.

I'm hoping to lose weight for my next cruise, too!

You can do it. I worked out in gym every other day. I did extra walks on deck.
I stuck to mostly protein with a little fruit at breakfast.
Lunch was also protein focused with some veggies and or fruit based on what was at buffet. I did go to the grill a couple of times and would do burger with half or no bun.
Dinner I allowed myself to have a piece of bread or breadsticks and a few bites of dessert. Frankly most of the desserts weren't that good. I got my free scoop of gelato and thankfully I waited toward end of cruise because that was good!
The buffet had so many good protein options...carved meat at every meal...that it really wasn't too hard.
I tried the pizza once and the pasta bar once. Neither were very good.
We did the fancy pay extra Italian restaurant once and it was awesome. That pasta was worth every carb!
For me the key was my water bottle. I brought a shaker bottle with a good handle on the ship. I would fill it with ice and water from the buffet stations a couple times a day. I took it everywhere. I also brought a few protein bars and prepackaged nuts to take ashore on excursions.
Enjoy your cruise!
