I thought y'all were exaggerating! FREEZING!

Last winter I was getting ready for my April surgery...I remember everyone talking about how cold they were...I didn't really believe you...until Now!

First chilly days and I am SO cold! Wearing fleece, drinking hot tea, took a hot shower and it's only 45 degrees out!

Who knew 80 pounds provided so much insulation!

Right that what happens with me yes I had my heat on today and it's 60 degrees here

I'm cold all the time!!!!!!! LOL - I'll take it over the alternative, though!!!!!!

I am going to have surgery in the middle of a Minnesota winter. Last year we had temps 20 below zero for days in a row. I know my fat insulates me....I guess some of the new clothes I will have to buy are more sweaters!

I regularly wear leggings, socks, a tank and a long sleeved T to bed. I sleep under a sheet, blanket and a down comforter, too. I have the heat on in the car all the time and I live in southern VA. It's crazy.

WOW, I live in Northern Virginia and I wear the lightest nightie. It's going to take some getting used to after I lose my insulation. Another funny one, I have heard is, people realize they no longer float on pools and promptly sink in the Water.

I remember fighting with my husband about the house being too hot and wanting the air on. Now I am the one who is freezing! All.Of.The.Time. LOL

Ill take that over the extra 56 pounds I was carrying. I guess when I lose the rest (80) more to go Ill be cold all of the time!

Uh oh! I am really in trouble! It started snowing today and it won't be long before we don't see the thermometer go above zero for a long time. I live an hour south of Lake Superior and I need all of the insulation I can get. I guess I better start stocking up on fleece lined leggings and thermals!

Snow?! Ugh....four letter word!

At least you'll be rocking that look in the new sweaters, socks and sweats.

This is so the topic in our house right now too. I am looking for a new car and said not only do I need heated seats but a heated steering well...I am freezing all of the time. Wore my winter down filled jacket at my desk at work today (inside). :)

I'll take freezing over keeping the weight on!

You know, "The Christmas Sweater" I could never wear one. I would boil to death in one. Trust me it's hard to find a party outfit for the holiday season in size 20W in a lightweight fabric. I probably lose 10 pounds every season looking for one. Perhaps I'll get to wear a sweater someday.

You made me chuckle out loud!

I keep my car seat heater on all the time now also. Tis the season.

Two years out, and I'm still freezing. Kept the air set at a much higher temp than ever during the summer. I have had the heat on for a while. I am always wearing a robe over my clothes in the house to stay warmer. I keep the heated car seat on. I'm dreading winter again, but it's about a billion times better than being fat and/or hot!

Thanks for reminding me to get the super fuzzy warm slippers from LLBean ????
