So I'm starting to get a cold (the whole sore throat thing etc etc) and it's been this way for a few days and I weighed myself this morning out of curiosity and I noticed I gained 1lb from the last time I weighed myself (which was Saturday or Sunday I believe)

I've been eating in my calories and walking almost every night so I was a bit shocked. My question; Can illnesses cause misleading information? Or could this just be me calculating something wrong?

    A single pound is just normal bodily fluctuations, IMO. Could be any number of things - salt intake, TOM for females, constipation, sore muscles, etc.
