Weight loss fluctuations

My normal exercise routine has been disrupted by the heat so less exercise more sitting around and eating more has inevitable consequences. However, once the temperatures get back to normal so will my weight.

I am glad you have started this thread. I have been surprised that, despite eating less, my weight has risen by about 3 lb during the hot spell. I expected to have sweated it off but I have been drinking more water. My early morning walks have been slower and shorter but I still do my indoor strengthening routine in front of a fan!
I hope you are right Gymstagran in that I shall revert to normal when the weather does.

I retain fluid a lot in hot weather with the result that I'm up several times in the night for huge wees (sorry if TMI).

Drinking more water might be the answer.

My mother-in-law was told that drinking more helps flush out this excess fluid by signaling to your kidneys that they no longer need to hoard water.

As Aveline said, the body retains fluid in hot weather, but the opposite happens if you get cold! I was in India on one occasion, then went on a long bus journey through the hills where it was quite cool. I had to pee at every stop, despite not drinking very much. And of course the toilets were unspeakable!

I think “weight fluctuations” irrespective of the weather, is an interesting topic itself. In my “normal” life, ie not dieting etc, normal weather, my weight can fluctuate by as much a 8lbs in any one week.

Anyone else like this?

Absolutely normal to have a slight weight gain in hot weather due to fluid retention. My weight was up by about 2lbs this morning even though I wasn't dehydrated (urine was proper colour). I'm less active when it's really hot but I also eat less.

I don't weigh myself but judge how my clothes fit me. In hot weather my rings are tight but soon loosen off when it cools down.

I got on the scales the other morning only to jump off rather quickly as it showed I gained 4 lb since the day before!

Pesky fluid retention

I have heart failure and take a diuretic daily, the dose was doubled last year when I found the heat difficult, I’m taking 2 some days at the moment and still can only get my flip flops on! Hate to say it but I can’t wait for it to get cooler

Got angry with my scales many years ago, never showed the weight I wanted so threw it out! I know by different clothes what my weight is! And somehow just lost a lot of weight!
I have Type 2 diabetes
Under active thyroid
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Thinning hair (oh I’m 77)
Noticed that I don’t eat nearly as much as I used to, so it’s definitely a portion size & carbs issues!
Good luck

I've actually lost a kilo.... it's what happens if you get a tummy bug and only eat a few rice crackers and some water melon for 3 days!

I’m glad it’s not just me . My weight certainly seems to be a bit more erratic in this hot weather!

it is normal for your weight to fluctuate 2lbs up or 2lbs below your base weight

My weight is more or less stable, though I'm taking a weight loss drug and definitely eating less. I'm going to the gym three times a week for an hour or so - it's air conditioned so no great hardship, though the walk and bus journey there is a bit much.
I hope that it is the hot weather that is stopping my weightloss which was gentle but regular prior to the hot weather. I'm already drinking as much as I can as I'm not good the heat.
I do find it very frustrating when the scales show a small gain first thing, even when I've had a very abstemious day previously.

Thank you so much for this I felt I’d eaten ok this week but drank loads I’ve been on the scales ,and id put two pounds on I was shocked!

Weight and all the rest. Everything alters in your body. I got a bit carried away after my second aorta replacement and checked things on an Apple Watch. All sorts of stats vary. Only when I went back to pre my first op did I realise they always had had done

You should only weigh once a month.

I have lost three pounds, despite drinking lots of water. I don't feel very hungry at all, so small portions of light foods may be the reason.

Not been hungry - gallons of low call ice tea so actually down a bit.
Trying to lose tummy weight but that is not happening - according to a lot of US adverts my fatty liver (yes) my GLP1 balance, my T3 or T4 thyroid count need fixing so it is not my fault I cannot lose weight <LOL>

My GP however is advising remove ultra processed foods and drink more water (Yeah! right)

Anyone else cannot lose weight on salad lean meat and fish with a little fruit?

People always say they can't eat in this heat, but I can!
It's all I've done for a couple of weeks now.
So I'd imagine my weight has fluctuated upward!

This is me too, always able to eat.

That's the spirit!
I wouldn't want to fade away from lack of food.
We must keep our strength up!

No matter how hot it is there is always room for cake
