How can this be...

I'm just getting over a heavy bout of man flu and have some how put on four pounds this week. I spent three days in bed with just water and a light evening meal although no exercise due to illness but if anything I would have thought I would hold my weight not increase it. Does anyone know why the increase?

Our body weights fluctuate all the time and can be affected by lots of things. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi,

Just getting over a stomach bug and I've managed to put on 3lbs since Wednesday. Have no idea how this happened as on Wednesday I couldn't keep anything down and have only managed 2 bowls of broth a day since Thursday. I'm not going to worry about it as these were not 'normal' days but i'm hoping it comes off quickly.

Hopefully it will come off fairly quickly once you're completely over your man flu and your body gets back to normal.
