Weight Loss while sick??

morf13

What is everybody's experience with losing weight while sick? I am 5 days into my diet,and am doing well. However, today,I am getting a chest cold (my wife & Daughter just had it,and I thought i would get away without getting it). If I am not my normal self for a few days while sick,what can I expect as far as weight loss? If I still manage to stay within my calore goals, should I stay on track, or can I expect a slowdown in regards to my weight loss? Hoping to hear from people that have been sick while they were losing weight,and how they were effected.

I found I suddenly lost about 5lbs more than I expected but then steadily day by day it crept back up to what it should really have been despite still eating at a deficit. I'm guessing that's down to dehydration rather than fat loss but I did still lose what I should have lost that week. I found I was ravenous the next week though and gave into it up to maintenance calories if I needed to because you don't get better as quickly without the fuel.
