Anyone else have a problem with feeling cold while losing weight?

Cold here in sunny southern California too. Your not alone. This morning I thought about putting gloves on.

I used to ALWAYS be hot... down 77 lbs now (276-199 lbs) and am always freezing... but it's worth it!!!

Same here. I'm really looking forward to summer this year!

Same here.....Now I wear winter pjs and a thick robe to bed and double up the comforter for my side of the bed. I'm hoping that being cold will hold me through the summer months. Hated the feeling of needing to take a shower the minute I stepped foot outside the house.

I am right in there with you all. I come into the office and turn the heater up to 71. I am freezing while everyone else is warm. I am wearing UGGS, jeans and a jacket right this second! I am glad it is not just me. I thought that to turn up your fat melting you would need to be hotter inside, but I am losing great and I am freezing. Maybe the shivers shake the fat loose!

Oh great lol. I'm always cold, always in socks and a jacket and already sleep with two heavy blankets on my bed. DH is always laughing at me cuz I'm cold even when he's ready to turn on the fans. I get banded on April 7 - I'll be an icecube! lol

Count me in! I have always been the hot, sweaty person. In the middle of winter everyone else is walking around in layers upon layers of clothes and coats and I was in my T-shirt or short sleeve blouse. now, I keep a heavy sweater at my desk, wear my coat everywhere and always have flannels, socks, sweatshirt and blanket on in the house---with the fireplace blasting. But I love it! I can always put more layers on, I can only take off some many layers before someone calls the authorities.

As far as i know and being a practical sort of bloke ,your body is like a machine it need fuel ,and you all used to get more than plenty of it,not you have cut down on the fuel intake so your body has gone into shutdown mode which means it narrows your blood vessels in your exremities so as to concentrate on keeping your vital organs fully charged ,so less blood running through means less heat

Wow, that makes so much sense, I wish I would have said that!

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post.

I just had my band placed on 2.25.09, since the surgery I am always cold. This is one problem until now I have never had too deal with. I hope this summer the heat will be more tolerable.

So ....the best way to start warming up is to either increase the pumping power of your heart through exercise OR .... walk walk walk which will icrease your metabilisim (is that how you spell it) so get the lard moving!!!

Go to Bararitictv.com and watch theri episode about

being cold.

It is common and normal.

I was banded on 3/5/09, down 40lbs and feel cold a lot

also.

But, I guess it's a price to pay. Blankets and sweaters

are worth the change to health.

Same here! I've only lost 30 pounds but I am wearing long sleeves on warm spring Georgia days! My hubby is a polar bear! It's very good to know that we are all experiencing the same thing! Actually as I change sizes it's sorta fun to pick out a sweater or a cute sweatshirt! :thumbup:
