A serious weight question =)?

Question

Right now I'm bloaty, sniffly, etc., due to a combo of a flu and a cold and was wondering if this can cause temporary weight gain (kind of like when you're PMSing and gaining due to water weight).

Is this possible? I feel bloaty and big enough, haha. I'd like to hope so!

Answer 1

At anytime the body can retain water and give you that feeling.  

Answer 2

Yes; you can retain water.  3-4 lbs can easily be gained from water retention
