Question about weightloss, exercise, and being sick

MallieRose91

So I have been sick the past three days and have not been able to go to the gym in 5 days. Two were because I was busy (though I compensated one day by playing Just Dance 4 for 2 hours at 11pm Saturday) and the other 3 is because of me being sick. I am very religious with going to the gym 5 days a week, 2 hours at a time. That being said it had me questioning my weigh in this Friday. Will not going to the gym, though I am still eating healthy foods at my calorie deficit, if not less because of being sick which is all stomach related, have an affect on weight loss? Will I not lose as much because of not going to the gym? I hope this is not a dumb question and thank you for anyone who can help answer this question!

weight loss comes mostly from diet
working out makes you feel better- be better and stronger.

but your weight loss is a function of your diet- shouldn't be dependent on the working out.

Worry about all that later. No, don't worry about it at all, just concentrate on eating enough and healing. You shouldn't work out when you are sick anyway, so it's a moot point.

Get back to your routine when you are well again.
