    Soooo cold this winter! I used to go outside with a tshirt, I'd be cold but fine. I wish I could put the fat lost in a fat-sweatshirt to keep me warm!

    glad to see this! I thought I was crazy the other day! I kept adding layers of clothes and still couldn't seem to get warm. I even slept in long pj pants and socks last night!

    After a good run on the treadmill I will come upstairs and literally shiver after about 5-10min. the only way to warm up is a nice hot bath and a cup of tea..snuggling by the fireplace!

    All that shivering burns more cals too right??

    Since I had the surgery (lap band) my blood pressure is down and my body temperature is also down. I live in the south and have been freezing, but it has been cold and rainy in Middle Tennessee.

    Yes!!!! At 200 pounds I was always hot. I live near Chicago and never owned a winter coat cuz I was too hot!! This winter I'm freezing!!! Time to buy a coat!!!! My family thinks it's funny because I now wear layers of clothes. I don't mind I'd rather be cold and healthy than hot and fat!!! :love:

    After my first major weight-loss and still now I cannot get warm to save my life. I live in Wisconsin so staying warm is pretty important. But my wife will tell you that my hands can be down right chilly.

    Yep, that would be my situation!! At the restaurant today, I had to keep my coat on to keep warm!:drinker:

    Joyful in the Journey,

    I certainly felt the cold more WHILE losing, but now I am maintaining I am fine.

    Ah - but the upside is...think how lovely and cool we'll be in the summer - instead of sweating miserably! :wink:

    I have really bad circulation, so my fat doesn't keep me warm - it doesn't heat up at all. It means I'm walking about inside a big layer of freezing fat, so even when I exercise I'm still cold. I have no climate control! I'll maybe be baking in the sun, but the second I sit under the shade of a tree I'm suddenly freezing.

    I'm hoping losing weight will improve this :P I mean I won't have any extra insulation, but my insulation doesn't work anyway and actually makes matters worse xD

    Well I live in Maine so today was freezing anyway....but yeah, losing weight causes me to get colder easier. Usually I'm not cold until it's below zero lol But now I get cold at about 20 degrees F.

    Definitely, I'm cold all the time, unless I'm exercising. And I live in San Francisco, CA, so it's not like I have to deal with weather extremes like people in other parts of the country do.

    And I can't find thermals in my size--they're all too big!

    So at work I drink coffee and green tea to keep warm :)

    Since I live in FL, I don't really have this problem. But, I am saving on my electric bill. When in the 300's, I used to set the A/C on 73 degrees. Hubby would ask where the ice cream was. Now, I am comfortable at around 78. It has cut our electric bill by about 1/3. A nice benefit!

    Great post! :smile:

    I lost 2 stone before winter officially set in, here in England and I was blumming FREEZING all day and all night.
    I have never had this problem before. Husband always said I had my own internal radiator as I was regularly warm/hot, day or night.
    To be able to cope and not be miserable, I wear up to 4 layers, top and bottom and walk as fast as possible - it has taken a good three months to acclimatise and am now down to 3 layers top and 2 bottom!
    A friend of mine has said that by winter 2012 I should be able to cope as before - here's hoping :bigsmile:

    Yes, I thought it was just me. I guess since I've lost, I'm feeling the cold breeze now. The fat was keeping me warm!!! LOL

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't the fat keeping me warm, it was the food. Now I'm below target weight, I've noticed that on days when I eat at maintenance, I'm nowhere near as cold.

    I experienced that feeling of coldness too, years ago when I lost 90 pounds. I don't remember if this proved to be a summer advantage though. Anyone able to comment on that?

    I especially find my fingertips & toes... it's annoying. I take more hot baths & hot showers to try & get the chill out.

    I've always gotten cold easily, but it definitely seems to be more noticeable now that I am losing weight.
