I have never been cold in my life - my dh refers to me as a polar bear. I love to sleep with the window cracked during the winter, always wear short sleeves, etc. During the past week I have been sooo cold; cold hands, feet. Maybe I was like a polar bear?!

Anybody else have this new "problem"?

:lol:Hah! You are losing your blubber!

I was banded on September 29 and I feel the same--and even though I have lost 29 lbs. I still have plenty of blubber. So I am wondering what this is about myself. Any info would be helpful.

Doesn't anemia make you cold? You may need iron.

Lanakila - Polar bear to skinny bear - is there a skinny bear???? Too funny!

Mango24 - I go in for my nutrition follow up after Turkey Day, I have blood work up then, will check into it!

My sweatshirts are getting lots of wear right now. The dogs have been super snuggly since I seem to be wrapped in a blanket every time I sit down! Not all bad!

Thanks for the input!!!

my doc said he thinks it is because we are eating so few calories could be why.

I lost weight without going below 1500 calories so I dont know whether that's the reason, but I went through a period of being freezing - it lasted months. Now I dont feel freezing all the time but I need more clothes than I used to. I never used to take a jacket just in case but now I do. Its coz you've lost your insulation.

Think "sleek"...it sounds sassy!

I am cold too. I attribute it to having less "insulation" to keep me warm.

Sleek, I'm lovin' it! Oh, try that on for size, it works for me!

The one thing I'm noticing is that I don't sweat nearly as easy as I used to. The more weight we lose, the less work our body is doing just to survive.

Yep. Happened when I lost 60lbs on WW too.

It's 73 in my house right now, I'm sitting only a few feet from the woodstove and I'm still cold. I have a sweater on too! Monday, finally got comfortable feeling. Headed off to bed and checked the temp. It was 80 in here!!! LOL!!

Good thing DH wasn't home. I had the stove crankin' and didn't even realize it!! I was just happy to be finally ALL warm! There's always at least some part that is cold. Right now it's my feet (w/socks). Earlier it was my face.

I'm going to bed. I've got the flannels on the bed. It's warm there!

Whilst I head into Summer :thumbup:

I hope I can deal with the heat better this year!

I just went o IL for a wedding a little while ago. And being a California they were making fun of me the whole time for being an ice block. I think I did loose a lot of insulation.

Amaltha ~Well, I sit here cold again tonight. I am heading out to WI for Turkey Day, I will probably freeze my buns off! Inlaws have a wood stove, I will probably be sitting on top of it!

I head in tomorrow to get a fill. I am going to ask the PA about being cold - I will keep you posted! I am hoping it is just my new sleek body!
