I understand that, the point I was trying to make is the "I gained that back over the holiday" isn't actually gaining the weight back, it's just putting more carbs and salt into your body so the scale goes up, but the fat levels likely didn't change. I understand they were dancing around saying "I didn't lose anything", I was just trying to make the point that they likely didn't gain much either. Tiny fluctuations like that happen more around water weight than fat weight.
