Honestly, at your height and weight, without being able to exercise, I think it would be better not to set yourself up for a goal deadline. Your body will only lose at the rate it pleases, and since you can't attack the "calories out" end of the equation, only "calories in", I would just set goals based on that. I think setting a goal for following your eating plan until vacation and being mindful of the scale will set you up for success. You may not lose all 17 pounds by vacation, but you will certainly lose some, and will be accountable for things that are under your explicit control.
