Freezing feet and hands

Hi All, now that I am close to or at goal I find that as winter approaches I am absolutely freezing! Fingers and feet turn white when they get cold. Anyone else have this issue? This happened in the past when I was thin but it seems absurd, it's not like I had that much fat on my extremities! It's not even November and I'm in fleece pjs, fleece sheets, 2 blankets, and a quilt, and wearing socks to bed! Husband is not thrilled;) . It doesn't help that we have an old drafty farmhouse that we keep at 62 so we don't spend every penny on heating oil! Sigh. Annie

I don't have any answers BUT me too..I'm down 95 lbs only 30 left to goal and I can't get warm... I've warn sweaters for the last mnth and its not winter cold yet just fall.

I'm sitting in my cube right now with 2 sweaters on and I'm still shivering. lol.

I'm also having an issue with being cold. It's like.....the cold makes my skin hurt!

I live in Texas and I keep a sweater from October till April. I have been cold every since I lost my weight, But it helps with the electric bill in the summer!

A hot water bottle in bed at night works wonders. And it actually stays hot all night and is much more economical than an electric blanket. You're all going to laugh, but jammies with feet- yes they make them for grown ups.

I bought a Snuggie (feet pajamas and a hood) last winter ... And I live in California! :-D

I'm the same way. I really feel the cold now.

Being chilled is one of the only things I miss my old fat insulation for. I have heating pads in the front room and in bed and electric blanket also.

Rather have those than sweat like the old days❤

It was 27 degrees this morning in NH. It was a very chilly ride to work and it's only October!! Going to be a long cold Winter...

im at the end of menopause and suddenly have gone from years of being too warm and hot flashing to being much cooler and wearing a stocking cap most of the time and thick socks and a sweater ! I also wear a pretty scarf every day, this keeps my body temp more regular.A co worker told me that when she lost a large amount of weight she went from hot to cold too, but eventually her body adjusted back to normal.

I hope you're right about going back to being warm. I sit in the house with a scarf wrapped around my neck. My feet are always cold with fur slippers on.

Love you're new picture. Stay warm.
