    LOL! Me too!

    I have never been cold in my life until I started loosing weight.

    I mentioned it to my Doctor in January. He laughed and told me that this is normal.

    The way he explained is that the extra weight I had been carrying around were a constant strain on my body that required my body to work hard all the time, thus generating heat. For me, this resulted in high blood pressure in addition to keeping me warm in the winter.

    As I lost weight my body did not need to work so hard. So now it is not always working hard enough to keep me warm.

    As per my Doctor, it is natural to feel cold when it is cold out. There is not built in ability to not feel cold. Even for Canadians like me!

    I do not like feeling cold as I now do. But I will take it over being dead or paralyzed from a stroke any day! :-)
    hell ya!

    I'm ALWAYS cold now and was a "sweatsy Betsy" before. I've only lost 7 lbs but my diet has to be the reason. I hear you never get used to it.

    Well when I mean acclimatise I mean getting used to being cold all the time! :) small price to pay I feel. Although sometimes sleeping with a jumper on is annoying!

    Try cayanne pepper tablets. Very cheap( couple bucks) and it works. A doctor, years ago told me to do it because I was cold from anemia. It really does up the thermostat. Walmarts has them.

    I will try that! Thanks!

    Just made my Amazon.com Prime purchase for these...should have them by Wednesday. Yay! Thanks for the tip!

    Get your iron checked and your thyroid. Both make you feel cold.

    Thanks for the tip. I have had both checked recently, and both are in total normal ranges.
