Hi Cathleen! Nice to see a fellow Alabamian on board! I live in Trussville and work in Irondale so we aren't too far from each other. I go to the Trussville location, right off 59 - exit 141 the Trussville/Pinson exit. I would be interested to know what your friend says about it. Ask her/him and let me know! I have just started noticing a real problem with retention in the last 3 months or so. I have never had a problem with swollen ankles/hands, etc before then. At least it hasn't been as bad for me to notice it like I have been. I used to play tennis 4-5 times a week and now only play once or twice a week so I attributed it to the decrease in exercise. Who knows!
Ethereal - I do weigh in at the same time each day. Well, close to it. I go on my lunch hour and typically have my normal breakfast and don't do anything different. I'm usually in my work clothes but it's not like I'm wearing down parka's or anything. LOL. It is July in the South!
I try to not look at the Mon and Wed WI's and go by my Friday to Friday weekly change. I've always drank alot of water and can easily down a big liter bottle of Perrier in the span of an evening. I like to drink regular water during the day and save the Perrier as a 'treat' at night with dinner. I love the stuff!!!!
