If you've been both slim and overweight

[Mingo2010]

Do you sweat and struggle more in this heat? Do you smell more too, I've been slim and now over weight and really struggling but can't remember being thin so I don't know

Made no difference. What really did was age. Perimenopause = being a hot, sweaty mess all the time, smelling more, it was fucking awful.

Currently a 12-14 been an 8-10 and 20-22
I cope with heat much better as a skinny

Yes I most definitely smelt and sweated worse when I was heavier.

Sad but true.

I have never sweat so much under my chin(s) as this year. It's horrendous. I hate this weather whatever size I am.

All those with thigh rub - baby powder is your friend! Thin dusting of powder every couple of hours and your thighs can bump along together merrily. I also dust the baby powder under my boobs before putting a bra on.

I'm a size 18/20 now and I'm dying in this heat. It was definitely easier when I was thinner.

I'm overweight now and I'm definitely sweating more and more uncomfortable than I did when I was slim. Also i consider my clothes alot more now so that probably doesnt help but I just feel disgusting.

I've been a size 14 and now an 8. I think it's an exercise thing as well. Nowadays I run 10k relatively easily and something about running actually makes me feel cooler afterwards. I'm not sure if there's a proper scientific explanation. I think it might be that the fitter you are and the less weight you carry, the more efficient your body is at cooling down.

Hmmm

I think it's a combination of everything including the illness that results in me being fat as well as the actual fat, plus the folds that trap the sweat & heat it's all a joy.

If I could go back to my 6-8 stone healthy self I would. But 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gone down from a 20/22 to a size 16 since lockdown ... much easier as a 16 to wear cooler clothes in general and get less sweaty.

I hope been an 8/10 and Summer heat was fab then!

Have not hope

Absolutely this! ^

Also overweight so the last few days at 34-36 degrees has been HELL 🥵 2 more days then it's meant to drop to mid 20's, I feel I've lost stones in sweat but unfortunately I haven't!

Yes I have been slim and am now obese and am really struggling in the heat

Yes I’m a size 14/16

Yes I sweat more smell more the heat makes me get out of breath easily my body is telling me it’s needs nourishing and looking after better I need to take that on board

I feel like all my fat is melting yet i seem to be swelling maybe the fat expands

I smell less and sweat less now I’m fat (20) than I did when I was a size 4/6. My chafe the same amount now as they did when they were slim. I got fat because of my thyroid then long term high dose steroids. It seems the combo stopped my
Hyper hydrosis which was embarrassing and made me smell. So I guess I found a silver lining.

I’ve never been particularly large, but have always struggled with thigh rub - I read a tip to use stick deodorant and it works like a charm. (I’m a size 10, but bottom heavy.)

I've found menopause more of a problem than weight. Damn hot flushes! (Can't take HRT because of previous cancer.) I sweat when I bend over since the menopause. I get underboob sweat too. I'm currently sat with a fan on me and I'm still hot!"

I'm now a 12-14, I was a size 22. I've never struggled with the heat at either size, apart from the dreaded chub rub.
But I struggle with the cold terribly and that has got much worse since losing weight.

Yes I definitely feel the heat a bit more, although I've lost a bit since last summer and I've noticed some improvement, which keeps me motivated to really lose more!!

My inner thighs/tops of limbs have always been plump so my chafage/chub rub has been more or less the same through out, although I had to use sudocreme last summer and I've been fine this year.
