Just got back from a 7 day vacation at Walt Disney world and gained 12lbs even though I was hitting 20,000 steps a day (averaged out at 10 miles) I didnt indulge as much as I could! I didnt eat 3 meals a day but i did have a treat every now and again how did i gain all this weight with walking every day for 10 miles!

    (Warning: I'm not an expert at all. Please correct me where I'm wrong.) Could be some intense bloat weight, but I also found this and thought it would help. "A new exercise regimen puts stress on your muscle fibers. This causes small micro tears, also known as micro trauma, and some inflammation. Those two conditions in your muscle fibers are the reason you may gain some weight." - I Just Started Exercising — Why Am I Gaining Weight? - health.clevelandclinic.org

    You could have just walked so much that it made your muscles swell a bit. I'd just resume you normal routine and then weigh in again and see if it has changed. If it goes down quite a bit then it might have just been bloat/inflammation weight. Weight fluctuates and once you get back to your regular routine it should get back to normal. Hope this helped! :smiley:
