Unexpected/Unwanted side effects

I'm constantly FREEZING! I never knew how great an insulator fat is.

Me too! It's funny because I always used to be so hot all the time!

I find i'm sleeping well, but I have a TON more laundry to do. All the sweaty workout clothes need to be washed so I can have them to wear again!!

it's a problem, but I'd gladlly wash the clothes!!

I've experienced the ring size changing thing, and being cold all the time, but this laundry thing drives me NUTS! Currently I'm in an apartment and have to pay $2 per load of washer/$1 per dryer, and more if I go to the laundromat. Soon I will be moving into my first home and will have my own washer/dryer - I am literally DREAMING about washing my clothes in my own home, on the same floor I live on, without having to scrounge for quarters or walk down 4 flights of stairs outside in the winter in Chicago!!

Also, foods taste differently now and I have different reactions to things. For example, diet coke tastes too sweet to me now that I stopped drinking it daily. Most sweet things actually make me feel sick after more than a few bites. Its not unwanted, just something I didn't think would happen. I also have, uhm.. interesting... gastrointestinal reactions when I overdo it. Its like my body reminding me "ah ah ah, you shouldn't have done that..."

me too! especially at work, I wear scrubs and can't really layer on warm stuff

Cuddlduds! They're easy to layer under scrubs and they even come in short sleeve and tank versions. Love 'em!

A lot of clothes that I actually really liked are too big for me now, and the cost of having to buy new stuff. I've also always been cold easily, but it's even worse now. My feet are smaller as well, so have a few pairs of shoes that are too big.

I used to wash my hair every 3 days and now with all the gym sessions, power walks and jogs I have to wash my hair every day or every other and I can tell my hair doesn't like that much.

Another one is all the "how did you lose so much weight?" questions. It's flattering in one way, but annoying too because there's no magical answer and when you say "I eat healthily and exercise?" you feel like you're mocking whoever is asking because it is so obvious.

Boy I hear you on that one! I have lost 4 sizes in my ring finger and 10 sizes in my clothes. I just bought a replacement band for my wedding ring. It will be a while before I can get it resized. I have very few clothes left and I really liked some that I had to get rid of. I am freezing all the time, my shoes are too big. I have so much energy now that I worry that I will become ADHD haha. I have to take sleepaid sometimes. My extra skin is crazy, I go next month to my doctor and I am hoping he will talk to me about getting it removed. Best of luck to you!

I have to pee constantly because of all the water I'm drinking and my boobs are shrinking sighhh. Big boobs is the only good thing about weighing more.

I trot out to the car instead of shuffling. I also have a tendency to impromptu goofy-dance around the kitchen. I have a lot more energy to plot world domination.
