For years, I never really wore a warm winter jacket, just a heavy sweater and a scarf. I'm sitting here in Ohio, it was really cold this week and I'm having trouble staying warm. I am NOT complaining, just making an observation, but I got to go out and buy a nice winter coat! I'm sitting here with a giant sweatshirt, that used to be tight, wrapped in a blanket eating beef vegetable Soup, nice and warm. I mentioned this to someone at work yesterday and they said I was losing my R-Factor, I about fell off my chair!! Anyway, anyone else in a cold climate having this issue?

Oh yeah, big time! It started for me last winter but this winter (after losing over 230 pounds) it's awful. I am freezing my butt off all the time. It doesn't matter how many layers I put on, or thick my jacket is, I'm cold. I spend way too much time by the fireplace wrapped in blankets just trying to stay warm.

I'm freezing all the time also..it takes me forever to warm up..I to used to only wear a sweatshirt..now I'm like hat..gloves..scarf..boots..check..good luck with the rest of ur winter..n weight loss

I am feeling much colder than normal...but that's ok because I'm having lots of fun trying new jackets, clothes, and scarves.

Ha! me too. Way colder this year so far and it ain't even good and cold yet. My heating bill is gonna double what it was before!

I can't wait to be able to get a nice coat -- in a woman's size. Have been wearing men's parkas for a while for sleeve length and belly room. Won't it be nice to have some winter-wear that fits!

It's not just you... it 's mee too. And it aint' even cold in Texas yet! Down in the 50's and the wind just cuts through the skin on my hands and arms... brrrrrrrr! :-)

I am from Boston and I can not get warm. I wear a scarf in the house. Before Lap Band I would wear a scarf when it reached around 20. I am never warm. I wear full length fur coats and still get cold. But when I sleep, I sweat. That is weird and my bedroom has an open window all winter.

Maybe one day it will all balance and we will get warm again.

Same here! We're losing our insulation! haha I used to just wear a sweatshirt, even when it was 5 below!! Now, I'm bundled up, and wearing my heavy winter coat when it's 40!

I was just thinking about this the other day I wondered when to lose weight if I will still be hot all the time I never wear a coat now
