    I'm cold all the time, no matter what my weight is... I'd just assumed it was WISCONSIN. :P I have a heated mattress pad and smaller heating pads stashed in all my "sitting still" spots. I wear clothes under my clothes for most of the year, and can honestly say that my treadmill desk is the best purchase since I moved here. Just moving a little while I do my emails and computering seems to help keep my body temperature workable. I don't have to go super fast on the treadmill to stay warm. 1mph is enough - it's the movement that seems to keep things circulating well and my body from packing it in. Those little under desk peddlers also seem to help with circulation, if not actual calorie burn, if the ratings are anything to go on. :) I'm pretty close to hitting maintenance and will likely be increasing my calories shortly, but anticipate still being pretty cold, but not as bad as before. I can report back in a few months, but by then it will be summer... ;-)

    There are a number of vitamin and hormone deficiencies (I'm looking at you iron.) that can also make you feel a bit colder. I have many of them, so I don't anticipate too much improvement. That said, you may want to look into your known chronic issues and see if any of the symptoms match up. Eating at deficit can help you lose weight, but it can also exacerbate nutritional deficiencies that used to be mild and less noticeable.

    I lived both in Kenosha and Milwaukee for 7 years total, and I've been COLDER in Ohio than I ever was in Wisconsin. I've also done water fasting down here and not up there, which can change your metabolism. Keep warm, mama :) spring is as almost here!

    Whether I am at goal weight or overweight, I am usually always cold when the temperature is below 80. My usually body temperature is 95-96 degrees Farenheit. That’s why I can never leave Cali.

    Everyone is built differently. I know many lean people who are always hot, so I’m not sure how much weight plays a role in this.
