What nobody tells you about losing weight

    A lot of the cold comes from eating in a deficit rather than actual body fat (it has an impact, just not as significant). Having a "diet break" and going to maintenance always warms me right up, no matter where I am with my weight.

    I guess what I'm saying is, don't worry, it might not always be this bad!

    I agree with this. When I was losing weight I got cold so easily, I had never been that cold so easily before, I thought it was the new normal. But then I did maintenance all winter until this month, and I wasn't excessively cold anymore. I thought I just adjusted, but this makes more sense, I was no longer in a deficit.

    I'm losing a few more pounds, but I'm going with such a slow deficit it isn't as noticeable now. Like I'm trying to lose about a pound per month, just very very slow loss.

    Also, it happens to be that some people are sick and are offended when they are congratulated on looking better when they are actually dying. A coworker lost a ton Of weight, we all hoorayed for her and with her, and turns out she had major liver disease and was dead in a few months.

    That's horribla

    @TheRedQueen1981 when I glanced at your picture I though of Barbara Streisand.

    Being cold all the time!! It will be nice in summer :)
    Reducing a bra-size! As a person who had a breast reduction, that was unexpected.
    Reduce my snoring, even if I only lost 10kg.
    More energy!
    Sleep better.

    As someone that had a breast reduction myself, I completely relate. After it was done my doctor told me very sweetly that if I wanted to go down even lower (I did but he took me as far down as he legally could) I would just have to lose about 10lbs. I wasn’t even that overweight yet... a little fluff. But it’s true. My breasts is where I lose it first and I don’t mind at all 😂

    You'll get there. Took me three months to lose four kg, but the results are amazing!
