    Me too! The only thing I can attribute mine to is that I work out and sweat a lot and perhaps that's how I get chilled down? I shower right after the workout and I feel warm but wow,, as soon as I'm out and dressed I'm freezing cold for 2-3 hours at least.


    Totally!!! me too!!

    I'm anemic so I'm used to being cold a lot but it has definitely increased since I started losing weight. I just bundle up more.

    Same here! I drink caffeine free unsweetened hot tea all day at work to keep me warm.

    Between more water, less insulation and fewer calories you are probably just running at a lower temperature all the time. My advice is layers! Because I also have a thyroid issue thrown in, layers are my best friend! Never know when the office will be colder than usual or warmer, in my case it varies by the hour, it helps having a sweater in my desk drawer.

    I know I get cold when I'm losing too. I think it is my body adjusting to the new level of insulation. When I was really heavy I was always hot. When I'm losing fast, I get colder. Then I stabilize for a while and feel warmer. Then lose and freeze. Just a cycle. I always attribute it to less insulation.

    happens to me, but mostly after i eat

    Feeling cold after you eat is a sign of hypothyroid!

    Same issue here - I have lost 112 pounds in the last year and went from being the girl in flip flops and shorts standing in a snow storm to having to wear several layers of clothing and STILL freezing. Had blood work done 2 weeks ago and everything came back normal - dr said fat keeps you warm and you don't have much anymore

    it sucks!!

    It's not a diet. Please don't use the D word. Some of us ate healthy before MFP now we just track the quantity.

    I welcome the change in the summer since I used to sweat so bad that I couldn't wear makeup. It was so embarassing! The winters are brutal now though since I live in Ontario Canada. No we don't use dog sleds :laugh: but it can get VERY cold. With the wind chill it can reach -40 Celsius. I used to be ok as long as I was bundled up but now I like to hibernate all winter if possible.

    I always take being cold while eating right as a sign my body is burning calories :)

    I have lost 25 pounds in the last year, 19 since starting on mfp last July. I feel cold more often now but figured it was from less insulation.

    I am cold all the time too! People at work think I'm crazy. I had to drink two cups of decaf coffee at lunch just to try to get warm. I try to only have one cup of caffeine a day because it wires me.

    I think it has to do with water intake. I can tell a major difference in how I feel when I drink a lot of water.
    I am FREEZING right now and I am on my 2nd bottle of water for the day (23oz bottle).

    I know exactly what you mean! I have been freezing like crazy and this is the warmest winter we have had! I never slept with the covers on me and always had a fan on. Last night slept with the covers and a sweatshirt on and my house was 72 degrees! I swear the cold is going straight to my bones!

    Yup, chilly here too. Cold hands and cold feet. I guess it's just more motivation to get moving!

    Same thing here. I used to sleep with the fan on all winter. Now I spoon my boston terrier for warmth.

    LOL! I spoon my chihuahua for warmth!
