    I am forever cold, and it really gets frustrating when everyone always tells me maybe if I gained a few pounds then I wouldn't be so cold....ummm...how about if you lost a few you wouldn't be so hot! Bring a fan!

    Yes, but it's a good problem to have and you'll adjust.

    Haha - the only time I've ever been 'warm' is when I was pregnant. Even when I lived in Phoenix I was cold.

    I like to bundle up though so its not too bad for me. It is bad when my nose and hands are too cold to leave out at work though.

    That might mean your body is getting rid of toxins..have you been drinking more water or eating healthier lately? that happens to me when i do a juice fast or go raw for the first few days. i get chills so bad but thats just my body getting rid of toxins or withdrawal from caffeine or other junk our bodies do not need.

    Yep. I'm always cold all of the time and always have been. I know people think I'm nuts dragging around a jacket when it's 100 degrees, but nothing is worse than going inside and freezing to death.

    Maybe you've lost your insulating layer of fat!!! :-D

    I'm the same way, but I love it. I love cold weather when I get to wear jackets and sweaters, so it's awesome in my opinion!

    I have been at this healthier life style for a lil over 2 months. My water intake has always been high but I have increased my raw veggie intake and natural juices

    This! Fat is the great insulator (hence why seals and walruses do so well with all that blubber). But on the upside, you are burning more calories by shivering. :)

    I feel you. Since I've lost 15 lbs, I have found myself cold at places where I used to not feel cold. :(

    yes. I am always cold as well. I wear a sweatshirt almost all the time and it doesnt help my hubby keeps air on 65 all the time due to his sinus problems

    I haven't necessarily been cold (I guess I'm not down to that point yet) yet, but I have noticed that some chairs that used to be ok to sit in are now uncomfortable. I feel all the extra ridges and stuff now!

    I ride horses. Saddles that were once comfy are now all sorts of ouchies. I have to retrain my butt now! :)

    Yep! My mom and I are ALWAYS cold. My boyfriend makes fun of me because I always, I mean ALWAYS make sure I have a sweater in my car or I take one with me when we are out and about. I can't leave home without it! Grocery stores and movie theaters are the worst.

    Good job on your weight loss ;-)

    I'm right there with you! Layers of clothing is the answer!

    AND have you starting feeling like sitting on chairs or riding a bike is harder on your bottom than they used to be too? I can't be alone in this one.

    Me too! I have a sweater that I leave here at work and a blanket too ;-)

    Exercise - if you're not already - might up your metabolism; also might want to check your ferritin levels (stored iron). I was always cold even when I wasn't on a diet, and found out (while testing for something else) my ferritin was almost at zero. I took iron supplements (Solgar Gentle Iron) for about 3 months and really noticed a difference - I warmed up!

    I'm still always hot. It's due to my v effective insulation. But I am trying my hardest to get to be the person who is complaining that it's freezing and wearing extra layers!!!

    Yup! All I can say is thank God for dual control heated mattress pads! He kicks the a/c on when he gets home, I turn it off when he leaves. He is begining to think my body is Smurf blue because I wear my Snuggie all the time. He got me the Snuggie because he didn't like my "Mr. Rogers" sweaters.

    My iron levels are A-ok as of last Thursday. I take an iron tablet the week before and the week of TOM anyway.

    When we go to a restaurant and the Hostess asks "Table or Booth?" I say "Whichever one is NOT near a Fan or Air Conditioner vent. You get really strange looks for that.

    But I'd much rather carry a sweater or jacket everywhere with me than that "Insulating Layer of Fat"
