Hello everyone. I am pretty new to the Myfitness pal and have been doing ok.
I have been so sick for the last week. I can't remember the last time I have felt this horrible. I weigh on Fridays and when I weighed this morning, I was two pounds HEAVIER. How could that be? I have been so sick that on most days, I am not even able to eat all my 1200 calories. I am forcing down 64 ounces of water (even though it kills my throat).
Any explanations as to why I possible gained? Thanks

    Water retention due to inflammation. ETA: and possibly because you're not getting enough fluids.

    You need to heal up completely before it will go away (might still take a couple of days to a week).
