Since I have dropped a few bags of potatoes I am freezing my *kitten* off constantly! My husband complains because I want to turn up the heat (he keeps it at 63.....brrr) but even 65 and I am looking for gloves!

    Lol funny - last "winter" (I'm in California, after all) I was around 155, and never cold even outside when it was in the 50s wearing short sleeve t-shirts. This "winter" I am FREEZING! Not sure if the 15 lbs I lost had anything to do with it, but it is quite a coincidence :laugh:

    You're not alone. I was the girl always turning on the air at work, always comfortable. Lately70 degrees is just comfortable. I guess it's because I'm/ We're loosing our extra insulation.

    i am cold all the time! my BF% is 20.3%, down from 25%, and i cannot seem to get warm. the absolute worst is that, when i'm really cold, i actually start sweating (underarms and behind my knees), and as a result, get colder :$ my only suggestion is that you wear layers (yeah, even indoors) and perhaps buy a hot water bottle!

    Yes, a lower BF% will result in being colder. I'm about 12-13%BF and I am often cold even in the summer.

    Yes always cold now a days...again. Used to be like this prior to my weight gain. Now back to cold. Since everyone is warm in my family will be stocking up on warm clothes and extra blankets around the house. Good luck with this.

    dang....I'm already freezing even when it's 60 outside! Our house is kept between 62 and 65 in the winter and I'm walking around the house in thermal under clothes, sweatpants, sweatshirt, and have a blanket over me when I'm sitting!!! I hate to think how cold I'll be when I lose weight!!!! I'm happiest when it's in the 80s and 90s outside! LOL

    I got my work to expense a space heater for me to sit under my desk - It's unreal, but I am still cold even with it on full blast all day. I've lost 70lbs+ and my body just cannot seem to warm up! Good luck :ohwell:

    I too live with an "ice" man. that keeps the temp very low. I keep a rice bag that is microwavable and warm it up to lay on my lap. It warms my whole body in no time.

    I'm so cold right now. I was warm and cozy last winter with my extra meat on me. I have a blanket wrapped around me and a hat on. I keep my heat on 55 usually. I'm splurging because its 39 degrees outside so I turned it up to 57. Oil heat is expensive and I have an old under insulated house.

    Yes, I'm freezing this winter as well! Since it's only 50 degrees on a cold day where I live I know it's me not the weather.

    It's 23 here on Belfast, Northern Ireland. LOL. I would for it to be anything over 50 right now. Or at least snow.

    This time last year it was 5.

    I must be the exception to this. Was always skinny when I was younger, always freezing. Gained 50 pounds and always freezing. Lost the 50 pounds and still cold...:huh:

    I am constantly cold! I was always the fat girl sweating for no reason, needing fans pointed right at me, sleeping in shorts and tank tops. Now... I'm in slippers AND socks, always in hoodies, wearing fleece pj pants, sleeping with an electric blanket and a heavy quilt (or 3 layers of fleece blankets). But still... my toes and fingers are little popsicles. I guess losing 40 pounds will do that. I lost all my insulation! :laugh: Can't wait for summer!!

    YES! When I lost my first 30 lbs, I was freezing all of the time. This was back in October before it even got cold. I had the heat on in 55-60 degree weather. But over time your body should adjust. I don't get as cold as frequently but I do notice that it doesnt take as much for me to put on a sweater.
