Does anyone that has lost a lot of weight find they are cold all of the time? I have lost 80+ pounds and I am always cold and can't see to keep warm. Maybe it is just me?

    Think about it--80 pounds is a lot of insulation.

    Could be the fact you lost all the insulation, and I could be that you arent getting enough iron (something that women usually have problems with)

    Congrats on your loss! Please see your regular dr. for a full blood check up, your body may be telling you something you could hear before. Not to alarm.. you I loss and also had circ ulation problems which turned into a medical problem. I am okay and want you to be okay to enjoy your new body that you worked so hard for.

    It's really common amongst people who lose a lot of weight. It's not your circulation, it's the lack of fat that used to keep you warm.

    Yep! 33 lbs down and I'm freezing ALL. THE. TIME. Bright side: I'm a lot cuter without all that chub-rub, so I'm more likely to get snuggles and fun-time with the husband! :wink:

    Yep!! Same problem here. My doc said it was pretty normal in people who lose a lot of weight.

    I do also have Renaud's syndrome? My fingers and toes go numb when my hands and feet get cold. They turn completely white and they are numb till I can get a heat source of some kind. I never had this issue till AFTER my huge weightloss.

    .....It doesn't matter if I am fat or slim.

    I'll always be cold. You will love the summer though. o.o

    I have noticed that a lot this year as well. On a related thread, I saw a post that suggested that increasing intake somewhat will help eliminate this problem I will say that I have eaten a bit more this week (still lost a pound over the week) but that I do seem to be a bit warmer. Could be partially a metabolism thing.

    Yep! I've always ran cold, but now I am freezing all the time.

    At least I won't be too hot come summer.
