    @andreaen @PAV8888 - I am at a desk most of the day (walking in the morning and afternoon to/from car/bus terminal) + lifting/cardio in the evenings, but I think I'll try upping my walking during the day too to see if that will help.

    Thanks both!

    You should really do that, just get up from your desk a few times during the day and move around a little bit if you can. I had a desk job this summer and ended up getting coffee once every hour just to move a bit

    Leg warmers and arm warmers. You can get cute thin arm warmers without fingers or thumbs. Also the legs warmers can be worn and pulled off in the car ect as it gets warmer.dont laugh, I get many compliment,they make cute ones.also don’t forget the lighter leg warmers can also be worn on your forearms. A larger scarf can act as a temporary Shaw too, the draping of a scarf can be fashionable and look classy. They sell a Kilt pin at wall mart in the fabric dept and you can pin your scarf in any number of ways. I also wear camisoles under everything. You will probably have to order the arm warmers online, they are cheap.Theres nothing worse than being cold, it’s been a really cold spring too!

    Are you getting enough iron? Sometimes feeling cold all the time is a symptom of iron deficiency.

    I think so, I eat lean red meats on a regularish basis but I can look into that more too!

    Thanks :)

    I can relate with you. I’m cold 24/7. Unless it’s 75F or higher, I’m always cold. It may be due to my weight, I’m 5’4” and weigh 110. I’ve been eating at maintenance since December and haven’t felt a change. I’ve also been taking iron supplements to see if that would help but no luck as of yet. If you warm up from eating at maintenance let us know!

    Sorry to hear you deal with it too! I know in the grand scheme of issues to have it could be much worse, but it’s so annoying when everyone’s like wow this weather is so warm and i’m like uhhh yeah can’t relate. Hmm interesting upping your calls and iron supplements haven’t made any difference. Maybe it’ll be a gradual improvement over time. But i will definitely let ya know :) Stay warm! lol

    This was me, freezing all the time, found out I was really low in iron and since being on iron tablets my temp has been much more regulated.

    Hmm good to know and glad to hear it got better for you. I presume it’s a blood test?

    I'm in the overweight category in terms of my body fat and I'm always cold. Anything below 70 ish degrees is cold to me. I was the same when my body fat was in the normal range. I have no idea why.

    Yep just a blood test. I was surprised when it came back low as I didn’t really have any other symptoms but do feel like I have loads more energy now I’m on the tablets.
