    Almost a universal complaint. We're losing our insulating layers! I work from home 2 days a week, and used to have my workspace set up in my living room in front of a window. This last weekend I

    You know what happens when you are all nice and toasty in bed and then throw all those layers of blankets off and start to shiver? That's what we are doing with our weight loss. It will take a while f

    Girl, me too! I am always cold now (unless, of course, I'm sitting in front of a heater). My hands and feet suffer the most; I always have to wear socks now. I hate wearing socks to bed, because they

That's funny because I'm always hot and tend to start sweating for no reason. Looking forward to being always cold

I'm the same except I've lost most of my weight and I still feel like I have an eternal heater on. My surgeons nurse was joking saying that "OMG your gonna be feeling the cold soon enough!"...

OMG when????? Lol

    I was cold before and am still cold!

    Hoping to help-

    Cuddl Duds/layers - http://www.cuddlduds.com I wear them as a base layer. Get mine at good old Walmart or Target. costco carries a brand called 32 degrees. Similar base layers, also good.

    Electric mattress pad - nice and toasty.

    Build muscle- supposed to help. Don't know for myself. Takes forever.

    Anything merino wool. Can be pricey and special care needed. I have a cardigan someone gave me in a bag of clothes to help size down. I actually get toasty in it!

    Good luck!

    In Italy they say cold hands mean a warm heart. ;)

    If you search the Adkins and keto forums you will find that being cold happens with a low carb diet.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've been maintaining at goal for 15+ months and I am STILL freezing all the time. I did not adapt to the loss of my insulation.

    Went to bed in wool socks, a base layer shirt, a sweatshirt and fleece lined pants plus had the heater on! I'm 4 years out!

    So to add to previous posts, layers are key. Gloves and hats make a huge difference when outside in the cold. I opted for a heated throw for my bed as opposed to a mattress pad- hubby is always hot so this is easier to keep just on me and it turns off automatically after an hour (and I'm usually asleep by then). I have a wardrobe of coats all different weights and I now own more cardigans than I could have ever imagined.

    I'm cold all the time also. It doesn't help that it's really cold out. ☃

    I'm in eastern Canada. Layered up with fleece pants, fuzzy socks, fuzzy throw blanket, a cat on my lap, space heater pumping in the living room, and I'm pretty sure I'm still going to lose my fingers to frostbite. Gah! I'm down 104 lbs and have turned into a human popsicle.

    My thermostat has gone down too, but it's a bit of a relief, as before, I was overheating all the time.
