    I'm cold...

    Let me preface this by saying that in the past, I've *never* been cold. I'm a California girl, and I've always been able wear shorts almost year-round.
    Now, it's 72* in my house, I'm wearing heavy clothing with a sweater, and I'm shivering uncontrollably. It was the same last night. I got up and put an extra blanket on my bed, and I was still uncomfortably cold. I haven't lost very much weight, not enough to have "lost my insulation", lol! Anyone else cold while on Atkins?
    Started 8/31/09: 235.8lbs.
    9/29/09: 227.0
    10/13/09: 224.0 (yes, it's slow, but it's still happening!)
    Goal: 140 lbs. AND...
    I'd like a regular bath towel to fit all the way around me.
    I'd like to be able to fit into clothes bought at a regular store, not a store for "large women".
    I'd like to go on the annual rafting trip with my kids, confident that if I get tossed out of the raft into the river, I'll be able to hoist my backside back in with a minimum of embarasment!

    Re: I'm cold...

    I think some people react that way. And you are losing insulation so it may make a difference already. Your pounds are going.

    I would have my thyroid checked if you have not had that done lately just in case.

      I'm a SoCal girl, too, and 've always been cold - on or off Atkins. It drives hubby crazy in the summer - I'll let the house heat up to 78 and won't turn on the AC until he gets home and drops a few pounds from sweating so much!

      If this is new for you - could you be getting sick?

        Just a note....my thyroid is perfect. I have lost lots of insulation and yes, oh my goodness, I am so freezing!! I took my dogs outside this morning and thought I'm going to have to come up with a different plan in the mornings!! I was freezing, coat and all!! That worked out well during the hot summer, not running the air nearly as much as I normally would have, but I'm going to have to pull out extra layers of clothing to get through the winter!

          You Southern California girls are SSSsssoooo funny! My hubby is out in Orange County for a while. Friday or Saturday he said it was a little windy and it had cooled down to about 70 and people were putting on their jackets.

          I had to laugh because it has been going down less than 30 at night now since we are heading toward Winter. But late Saturday it hit 70 here in Chicagoland. Everyone was running around in shorts and s/s tops...NO jackets at all. Son and I were waiting to be seated for dinner at a restaurant, and everyone was laughing and smiling about how WARM it was out that day!!!

          Yeah, we Midwesterners don't call it COLD until it hits about 30!!! LOL!

            Perhaps the people he saw were tourists, lol!
            Really though, I wear shorts & a t-shirt down to about 50 degrees. Until now, that is. Today it's 73 and I'm freezing. Gotta be the different eating habits, I think. I haven't been able to stomach the multi-vitamin, and maybe I'm missing something nutritionally that used to make me more able to handle colder temps.

            ETA: I'm not a southern CA girl, either. :-( Drat.

              Maybe a little more cardio would help. That gets your temp up, and warms up your muscles.

                I get cold on Atkins too, and I was always so hot before. As you can see from my stats, I have tons of insulation (What a nice way to put it.) Now I'm cold in the house and run about with my robe over my clothes and socks and slippers on. I used to be t-shirt and barefeet inside all winter.

                I just hope I don't lose all this weight and look really good and then have to cover it up with a thermal insulated Artic snow suit all year long just so I don't freeze.

                    That's beautiful !!! I can so appreciate that, except that I only get cold when I go outside as the snow is showing up. I can only hope that I can start fitting into my winter woolies

                      I get cold from ketosis. Especially during Induction, I was freezing. Where's a hot flash when you need it?
