recent weight gain

Hi all! After having a cold, I gained about 6 pounds over a few days. At first, I thought water retention. However, it has been about a week and the scale won't budge. I have even changed my diet and reduced salt intake. Does anyone have any advice to get me back to my standard weight and progress? Thx!

All you can do is carry on restricting calories - I know how demoralising it can feel when you've gone up not down! Don't be disheartened, though - you need to be nice to yourself after a cold. Weight doesn't go down smoothly but there are lots of ups and downs on the way. I'd be surprised if you've actually gone up by 6 pounds - maybe time of the month etc affected it. No worries, just persevere!0
