    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 think it has to do with food too! I had an evening of overindulgence recently, and even though it was still cold, I woke up several times during the night HOT! On every other normal day of eating I am cold at night. Interesting!

    Can't believe how much 20 pounds makes a difference! Freezing all winter long! Hope that this also means that I'll be cooler during our hot Southern Oregon summers!

    I feel it in my bones. My house feels cold all the time and I HATE going outside anymore and this isn't even a cold winter for us!

    Yes, all the time!!! I keep my heat running all the time (even in the summer) and all of my friends pick on my because it will be 75 and 80 degrees outside and I still have on a sweat shirt.

    Same here! It is notoriously cold in my office, so we have always kept the baseboard heater on to supplement the furnace, but I've had to start keeping a sweater at work to help keep me warm!! At home, I sometimes put a hoodie on, which I never used to do before. Even my husband, who always changes into shorts and a t-shirt after work (and yes, we live in Canada...) has been throwing on a sweatshirt (he's lost 30 lbs).

    Worst of all: I've been wearing socks to bed! :laugh:

    When I was 320lb I wore sleeveless shirts and shorts even during the winter, now I wear up to 3 layers and then put a coat on to go outside lol

    LOL same here!!

    After a 40 pound weight loss I am really noticing the cold too. Last night before bed I was literally shaking while sitting on the couch when my husabnd walked by in his shorts and tee-shirt. He laughed at me. :sad: :noway: I spent many skinny years cold all the time. After becoming obese I noticed that I often didn't wear a coat in the winter and I was rarely chilly. Now I am cold even in the house while wearing thick sweaters and socks and corderoy pants. :angry:

    I've been feeling the same way.....always cold. I was wondering if it was b/c I drink water all day long?!?!?

    Good to know there are five pages of people before me to reassure me I'm not imaging it.

    I never wear thick coats, hats or gloves or layer my clothing - but this year I am. I'm actually craving hot drinks and soups, which I have never done, and I am going to have to buy a blanket for my bed instead of just the light duvet.

    The biggest change, though, is that I actually need to wear socks indoors!



    Mind you, a lot of the time, I didn't wear lots of layers because I couldn't find any in large enough sizes. :blushing:

    Oh my gosh. I was starting to wonder why I was always colder now. I wondered if it had anything to do with me losing weight. This post totally confirmed that for me.

    I am constantly cold. My "good" winter jacket this year is barely enough to keep me warm inside my office, I had to put in a space heater, plus add a sweatshirt to layer my jacket to keep me warm enough to go outside. It's been a pretty mild winter here so hopefully by next winter my body will have adjusted.

    Like a lot of people when I'm on maintenance I'm not freezing all the time, still cold just not as bad. I put an electric blanket on my bed around the middle of Dec. The guy I'm dating right now actually runs pretty hot (guessing it has to do with his muscle mass since he's into body building) so he loves the fact that I'm cold and I love his heat. It works well for cuddling :blushing: but makes day to day kinda frustrating- I want to wear clothes that show my new figure not hide it in layers. :grumble:

    I am so glad you posted this topic. I have thyroid issues as well and was chalking it up to that. The other day I was complaining about how cold I was and someone replied it was because of all the weight I had lost. I honestly had not even thought about it. I would rather been cold than back at my heaviest weight. :)

    Wow - glad to know I am not the only one. I am always complaining as well and my husband joked that it was because I had lost weight. I didn't think much of it but it really does make sense. Now I am always in layers. Hopefully that will mean I won't be so hot and miserable this summer :)
