Summer water retention?

Is anyone else suffering with this? I have been since our humidity
climbed. Just wondering if anyone is noticing this? I'm drinking a
ton of water too.

    Haven't noticed it due to humidity as it's dry here, but the heat combined with 4 plane rides in one week definitely contributed. On the other hand, I'm down 4 of the 6 I gained last week already. Holy fluctuation, Batman!

    YES!! I went to FL last week and noticed I was retaining more than normal. I notice it now and then in the heat of N. Texas but not as much as I did when I was in the humidity. lol I thought it was just me :smile:

    We were in Orlando last week and experienced quite a bit of water retention, especially in my calves and ankles.

    Totally! Between TOM, a couple high sodium days and the humidity, I was up 3-4 pounds all last week. Back to normal this morning but honestly I think I would've seen a loss if it wasn't for the humidity because I still felt bloated. Oh well, this too shall pass.

    I feel better now that I'm in good company ... I certainly hope
    all of it packs and leaves soon. One reason to not adore summer
    so much. lol

    Same here. When the temperature rises, so does the amount of water I retain.
