Just wondering if anyone else has lost so much weight that they find they are always cold. At this temperature, this time of the year, 100 lbs ago, I was always sweating and just hot, now I'm always in sweaters and freezing. I don't know if it's just because my BMR is lower or that I don't have that "isolation" anymore. Has anyone else had this happen?

    I'm cold most of the time now. Not as much insulation.

    I have only lost about 60 pounds, but most of the time I'm cold. Then again since I'm one of those pre-menopausal women I can also break out in a sweat at any time - lol.

    Its ridiculous! I never got cold until it was about low 60's mid 50's. Its low 70's and I'm in a sweatshirt and pants. Can't get over it.

    I have thyroid disease, AND lost 130 pounds. I never get warm unless it's at least 100 degrees. :grumble:

    Yep.

    Before I gained weight, I hated cold. Anything lower than 75 and I needed a jacket.
    At my heaviest, 69 degrees was comfortable anything higher than 72 and I was hot/sweating.
    Now that I've lost weight, I'm back to being cold at any temp under 75. My husband likes to sleep set the thermostat to 70 degrees before bed (he likes cold) and I usually have to be under 2 quilts to sleep comfortably.

    edit: My thyroid levels are fine. When my husband works nights, I leave the thermostat at 75 and sleep fine (no extra covers needed). It's only when he drops the house temp.

    I get cold now on occasion... I use to ski in shorts... not now. I have a jacket if the fog comes in and there's any breeze at all!

    It's probably the lack of insulation... hopefully our bodies will adjust and we won't be so sensitive to the cold!

    Haha, if that's the only "complaint" you have about loosing all of that weight I'd say you're in a good spot. Seriously, though - congrats! & buy a sweater.

    When I was really cold while sleeping it turned out to be Hypothyroidism. Get it checked!

    My mom lost 120+ pounds and she says she's always cold.

    Use it as an excuse to get cute sweaters, hoodies and pullovers! :)

    I am constantly freezing. I always have to bring a jacket where ever I go, just in case there happens to be a slight breeze somewhere.

    Yep - I am always cold. The only time I'm not cold is when it's 90 degrees outside and I'm out in the sun.

    Fall is coming, and I can definitely feel it. And let's not talk about grocery shopping. I walked into the store tonight and felt like I was walking into the north pole!!!
