[AB Editor]

Hi all! Here is your new thread for July. How is everyone getting on?

Last month's thread is here:

[ummmm]

Lol Jo....Back in the day my OH called my legs 'sturdy' :-)

[Cloverjo]

Sturdy. Hmmm, not an adjective you want applied to your legs, but I'm sure he meant it nicely.

[xstitcher]

In this weather who needs a sauna....just go outside and the good lord has supplied it!
When the heat has left us we can all build a sauna and why not a pool to go with it. :-)

[wendilla]

Emilymilly I can't see our ladies on here spending out on saunas which is nothing more than a splash pool . We need help with recipes not buying saunas .havent looked at the link .

[wendilla]

Sorry I should have said a lounge around pool not much exerise in that

[xstitcher]

Let’s have two pools while we’re at it.....one for lounging and one for cooling off after our sauna ......or we could move our saunas down to the seaside so we could run nudy into the sea in the moonlight like the Finns do.

[Old_Geezer]

A sight to behold, for sure.

[Old_Geezer]

Hmmm I'm unsure I believe down 4 lbs. It's not as if I've been good all week. It only takes someone to buy you a Magnum ice-lolly mid-day for the whole day's intake to be pushed way over the top.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all,

Did you know that if from one day to the other you suddenly gain 2 pounds or so it could well be water retention in this heat. If you Google it you’ll find lots of tips on how to get rid of it.

[wendilla]

Stayed the same but ok with that considering the amount of ice cream and drinks I have had .but must be careful for next week as it could catch up with me .

[Old_Geezer]

Hmm... and back up another 3.8 lbs :-(

[wendilla]

Good Morning well another stay the same so that's ok .I have had enough icecream cornettos to sink a ship .Must be doing something right lol

[wendilla]

LOL OG I think the hot weather has got to your scales .

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, whew it’s been hot but last night was a blessed drop of 4 degrees in my bedroom which was pure heaven. For those of you that have been suffering swollen ankles during this heat you might notice a hike up in your weight which could be due to water retention.

[Old_Geezer]

Always getting problems with scales. Doesn't help that I can only get to them once a week at present :-(

[xstitcher]

I agree with you OG. Now that I’ve gone over to everyday weighing I feel that I have real control over my weight.

[Old_Geezer]

Just have to be aware of the daily normal changes.

Yes glad to get back to sensible eating instead of just eating to keep cool
