Heatwave weight gain?

I’ve gained 4lbs since the heatwave started. Pretty certain it is water retention. Does this happen to anyone else? I look and feel so bloated! 😩

Are you drinking enough?

I find nettle tea (chilled with lemon in a big jug, drink throughout the day) really helps with water retention.

I have noticed my retaining water in my legs more, ankles a bit swollen. I'm on my feet most of the day and probably not drinking enough. Are you drinking lots?

I definitely think I have, also around 4lb. Thought I hadn't been eating as much so got a shock yesterday morning! Must be water retention.

I’m probably not drinking enough to be fair but even so, 4lbs weight gain! My diet hasn’t changed so it is definitely water retention! My normally flat belly currently looks like a pregnant one!
