I've lost 70 pounds and now I am freezing all the time - cold hands, cold neck - BRRRRRRR! I was the gal with no winter coat and no sweaters to speak of. Anyone else freezing?

I know I have had it also, got hives from playing in the snow when I was a small Frustr8.

I am effing freezing in SoCal all the time!!! I’ve lost all my excess weight, super happy, 17 mos out, but that fat was really keeping me warm in colder weather! You will see me in ski jackets in the morning and evening. And I need a third duvet on my bed, my room is so cold.

ah well, I’d rather be thin and gather blankets and sweaters...

@Separ1418

this is a question that has plagued the world for centuries!!?

after losing a lot of weight, i get it that "you" have less body fat, thus causing you to be cold

some OP as little as 2 weeks PO say they are cold, i don't get it, understand?? (most have have not lost a lot of weight yet) @Separ1418 great weight loss - 70 lbs!!

btw 105 lb weight loss here - never cold due to WLS

bundle up

keep up the good work

I’ve always been cold but with the weight loss I am FREEZING

I went from being someone who was hot all the time pre-surgery to someone who freezes constantly now that I'm down ~100 pounds. It turns out that for me there is a fine line between "comfortable" and "ice cube" and that line is about 73 degrees.

I've been so cold this winter that I bought a scarf for the first time in years, and between my birthday and Christmas (four days apart), I was given a sweater for work (where I use a space heater every day) and not one, not two, but THREE electric blankets. One for my bed, one for the living room, and one that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car.

If I meet up with a new guy, it won't be Hug Me, Kiss Me, it will be Defrost Me Baby! What a state of affairs we have come to!❄?❄?

You can be allergic to cold. Google cold urticaria. I know someone who has it. Hope you're ok!

I googled that and it looks a lot like what I am getting... I asked my alergiologist if that could be my case he said it could but he is still running all food and blood tests to be on the safe side...
Lets see what happens next ! :)

Oh my I never knew that it was so complex, thought it was just a lack of fat insulation.

I’m not looking forward to being cold all the time but the upside is that it gets to be well over 100 in the summer and at least I won’t be miserable like I usually am. Also my husband will be happy not having 2 fans going in our bedroom even in the winter

ALWAYS COLD! (Worth it) ?

My hands can never get warm!
