Thinner= Colder
 
The temperatures are changing and I'm finding that I'm much colder than ever before. I'm normally cold but this is ridiculous. Does losing weight make you colder in the winter?

When our first cold snap hit I froze to death, but now it's better. I'm not the furnace I used to be, but the looking-for-a-coat-because-it-hit-70 phase has, thankfully, passed.

Not as much body fat too keep you warm. The same thing happens to me. People ask if I'm crazy for freezing when its 100 degrees outside. Psh. They don't get it.

Ugh I am going through this right now. I used to live for the cold weather but now I absolutely hate it. I'm FREEZING ALL THE TIME. It almost makes me want to move down south. Almost

My friend lost a lot of weight too and we're both freezing all the time haha.

I am expecting the winter from **** too. I am already freezing and it is barely fall here.

melodymist 10-04-2011 11:59 AM

Thank goodness other people are feeling like this! Same here, I get so cold these days it's crazy!

My boyfriend is telling me to buy a north face fleece to wear everywhere but I don't know if that is going to be enough... I don't think wearing a down coat would be appropriate to wear indoors everywhere... Do the down vests work??

josey 10-04-2011 12:02 PM

I found a good cure that also burns calories though! I am walking/running some stairs at work when I get cold now. Can't hurt!

stellarosa27 10-04-2011 12:05 PM

Yup. The little things that no one tells us about weight loss.

Also, sitting on concrete stairs/bleachers hurts of a heck of a lot more now that my butt is more boney :)

HeatherEljohari 10-05-2011 02:57 PM

Thats funny! Other day I was freeeeezzzing and it was like 70 degrees. I was like what is wrong with me! I went and got a hoodie to take away the chills. lol

NEMom 10-05-2011 03:11 PM

I have this issue too. I wear a jacket all day at work and at home. It is still 70 degrees here. I foresee a LONG COLD winter ahead.

I went to the local thrift shop today and picked up an Eddie Bauer down vest for $4.
And I found a nice goosedown quilt for $25.

And I bought some very thin acrylic sweaters to wear under my bulkier sweaters. Everything is in the wash now.
Layering really helps keep me warmer in this cooler weather.

I also found a new genuine sheepskin/fleece jacket for $15.50!
WOW!

I should be warmer now...

:coolsnow: :snow4: :coolsnow:

My cheeks aren't so "cheeky" anymore..and I'm talking both sets....
upper and lower.

Great buys! Definitely sounds like you have it "under wraps" now;)

(ok, it's cheesy but it gave me a giggle)

I will probably wear a t-shirt under uniform at work, but hot flashesr need to go away first.

kimicat76 10-05-2011 08:20 PM

that happened to me when i went through my 190s. i was FREEZING all the time. i kept telling my husband to turn the heat on and it was like 80 inside. he just kept staring at me like i had poop in my hair lol so i just wore a jacket or sweater. now i think my body balanced back out cause i dont freeze at 70 lol

Kitsey 10-06-2011 12:07 AM

I can't WAIT to be freezing!!! I am always hot and sweating, and working as a CNA I just about died from heat stroke this summer.

La Vie Boheme 10-06-2011 08:01 AM

I am ALMOST to the 190's.... (if I can just lose these 2lbs!) and I have had moments that I thought I was getting sick these past few weeks!!! Oklahoma is insane. Our weather changes basically by the minute and right now the nights can get as low as 50 and the days as high as 90. The 90 temps feel AWESOME compared to the 110 that we had ALL summer... but I was at my brothers football game the other night and it was dark and maybe 70? I had on a hoodie, a coat, and was wrapped in a blanket!!! This has been happening every day recently. I thought I was getting a fever. Dont know why I didnt think about the fact that last winter I had an extra few layers of fat to keep me warm...

This is a price I am more than willing to pay though. haha

liliesinmycereal 10-06-2011 08:18 AM

Be careful everyone! I'm out sick from work because I wasn't prepared for the cold weather.... That's way I'm posting so much... bittersweet I guess.. I should be sleeping..

pinksparkles 10-06-2011 06:20 PM

This has totally been happening to me, too! I'm cold all the time, and it's not even winter here yet.. but I'm okay with being a little cold if it means that I'm getting smaller. ;)
