So....I weighed 8st lb 5 days ago. I walk a minimum of 21000 steps a day everyday. I eat 2000 calories a day to maintain my weight, 1800 if I over indulge.

My question is, we had a few days away, visiting a few historical gardens etc. I still walked minimum 21000 sometimes 32000 ate roughly 2100 to 2300 cals a day. I log religiously and I don't lie on it.

Got home today and I'm 9st 1lb

    If you were eating restaurant meals, you probably a) ate more calories than you think, b) ate a lot more sodium than usual. The weight will probably go away quickly.

    Did you take a plane to get there? Flying can add a heck of a lot of temporary water weight which will dissipate in a few days. Ditto on excess sodium.

    Wait, you gained a stone (14lb) in 5 days? Are you sure those numbers are correct?

    Were you using different scales?

    Couple months ago I was abroad and ate all kinds of weird things at different restaurants. I gained over 5 kg of water weight in 5 days.
    That extra weight went away in a week, once I was back home with my usual routine.
