Do you retain water more in hot weather?

Interesting! I've been losing weight at a good rate But My weight has maintained for the last 6 days despite training and eating the same as before! Been a bit soul destroying really ... hopefully the heat explains it ...!!?

That's what I'm hoping . . . . between an insane heat wave (105 and up) and TOM, my scale isn't going anywhere. I have been a little more lax in diet leading up to the last few weeks, but I *still* should be down about 1.5ish more than what I am.

I would say it's more likely to have an impact if it's an unusual weather situation for you. Living in Florida might affect it once humidity picks up again but it's nearly always humid there and there's air con.

I am in a flat that's surrounded top bottom and sides. I have drafts windows but even in winter it's warmer than your average house.

Must be noted though, not losing for 6 or 8 days is totally normal, fluctuations are totally normal, it doesn't need to be explained in those circumstances. Interesting to note? Sure. But this is unusual circumstances wise. My weight always goes up and down, not just when it's hot and humid.

My issue is with eating in the heat. All I want is cold carbonated water, and food makes me queasy.

There is a heat wave in CA, and my home is usually in the 80's in the mountains, so I don't have AC either. It's been around 100 the last few days.

This evening was the first hot meal I've had in about a week. All salads all the time. My coffee the first hot one for the same time!

My critters are eating more than me. I keep throwing cold things at the chickens and guinea fowl outside and the rest are cool in the unfinished basement.

I have had a cup of coffee every day.

the water has no effect on my overall weight per se
I still lose when I am trying to lose.
It fluctuates for me

when I typed my original message here I had just returned from lunch outdoors. My ring was sitting perfect on my hands ( no spinning) Now hours later after being inside air conditioning its back to spinning.

Its not permanent its not dehydration.

It is a reaction to heat and humidity.

Anywhere from 90-110F here in the mountains of Northern CA the past 2 weeks and I am swollen too. I think those of us who don't deal with the heat regularly are much more sensitive to it.

I live in the Great Lakes area so we get cold winters and hot summers. Whenever the hot weather comes, I gain a couple of pounds. It may fluctuate a little but I end up having a good whoosh in the fall when we get consistent cooler temps and the extra water I retained all summer goes away. Normally it isn't much, just enough to feel a difference in my rings. They start spinning in the fall.
