  During the fall I was super congested but otherwise felt okay. I took a sudafed and went for a job because I felt amazing. Then I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. So my new rule is if I don't feel well enough to exercise without medication (especially anything related to my lungs), then I don't.

  With bronchitis, the first thing you need to do is to see your doctor. Then plan to take at least 3-4 days off from ANY exercising! Let yourself recover. You won't gain weight and lose all of your fitness in a few days. What you CAN do by exercising is get sicker.

  With bronchitis I absolutely would not work out. When I had bronchitis a few months ago I don't think I would have been physically capable of exercise for the first week or so. I was so sick that I had to sit down and catch my breath after folding some laundry.

  And honestly, it took a few months for my lungs to be totally back to normal.

   

  If it's a cold, I do try to work out through it - I find I often feel better afterwards.

  uh-I SAW my doc which is how I KNOW it is bronchitis. But thanks.

  I feel fine...just coughing. I better not have to take off more than a week. Believe me, I will gain weight

  Well then you must have a crap diet.

  nope-not a crap diet at all. Slow metabolism.

   I also just seem to retain a lot of water and it seems to pile on when I don't sweat it out. And I do have to be really *good* even when I am working out to maintain. Another thing with me is that I am so much more motivated to be "good" when I work my butt off at the gym. It's a cycle for me.

   

  Thanks, though. Some of you answer posts like you are the most perfect H&F creatures to ever walk....or that you know all there is to know about it. Not so supportive...lol.
