Hi

I'm so glad you said this - I don't really get water retention (visibly anyway) around my ankles, but I would find I get it in my hands when out and about.

I have been weighing myself every couple of days and my weight seems to have been creeping up, its very depressing, so I really hope it is water retention.

I feel generally sluggish and I'm not sleeping right - I'm quite confused as I get a bit more lethargic on holiday when its hotter than this, but I don't usually feel quite this bad!

I really need to start exercising properly which I know would help my weight loss, but I can't face it in this heat!

I am constantly thirsty but I drink so much water, I really wouldn't mind a couple of weeks of cooler weather!
