So yesterday I woke up with the flu. I ate two tacos and couldn't eat a thing for the rest of the day ( the tacos were even a mistake) I did a couple things in the house and then was in bed from 2pm until 9am this morning. I thought for sure I'd at least lose one pound but I gained a pound to a pound and a half. What the HECK is really goin on!!

    Seems like water retention... Don't worry about it! Insteaed of weighing yourself day to day try doing it week to week and if you insist on weighing yourself once a day try to do it at the same time everyday! I usually fluctuate around 5-10 lbs a day hope this helped!

    Stop weighing yourself so often, that's what's going on. Weigh yourself once a week and be done with it. Weight fluctuates throughout the week for ANY reason.

    my guess is water retention. don't worry about anything besides getting better! plus, your body is going to need lots of rest and nourishment to feel better.

    hope you feel better :)
