Everything is a problem
-
I spent a fair bit of time researching why it might be that I was cold all the time. I will wear a sweat shirt when it's around 74F in the office. I am perfectly happy in the "heat wave" conditions people are complaining about. I found lots of information that points to thyroid problems, low iron, too few calories etc. More disturbing these were general replies in forums, yahoo answers, and other misc. places. Now the people at the gym find it quite common. Also, places like fitness pal, livestrong, body builder forums, etc... all seem to have the same type of answers... but only by a few people. Generally the symptom is just about the same for anyone who drops a lot of weight really. Many of them had thyroid checked, and iron monitored, and are on good diets. So the paranoid "you have this wrong with you , get to the doctor" answer is just flat wrong. I have a good diet (when I'm not cutting) and no deficiencies. I am not going to have my thyroid checked, because that would just be retarted. (I don't have the rest of the symptoms anyway). Turns out you can just be cold all the time from not being fat.

Your comfortable temperature range is largely a function of your metabolism and how fat you are. The body is quite good at acclimatising – 15C seems a bit chilly in July, but decidedly warm in February – which I assume is done by metabolism shifts, but different people have different perceptions of hot/cold. I'm generally happy in relatively cool conditions (15 to 25C). But I get really cold in water, due to being fairly thin. So yeah don't give in to hypochondria, not every difference is a medical problem!

Just the opposite to me, I am not so happy when temperature rises -- I am speaking about wheather here.

I had that problem, and it came from my ... teeth. I had a decay hidden between two teeth, was hardly painful, but was an open source for infections. Once I had it fixed, no cold anymore. (I perfectly realize that this hint is just one more item into your list

I used to like it around 65 degrees when I was 260lbs. Now I prefer it to be about 80. This year will be my first winter without all the fat, so I imagine I will be very cold. I've already been planning on layers and wearing a cap in the office.

I have seen many people, who feel cold in a situation were I was feeling hot. and they are constant about this, I think it is the tendency of their body, same as there are many people who always have low blood pressure and they are OK, while if you you/me have that much low blood pressure we will get fainted. so if you are not having any other problems except wearing sweater in summer. I don't think you should waste time on fixing it. mostly people who feel cold are having following 1. gastric problem 2. dehydrated 3. weakness or 4. medication side effects. so if you really want to fix the problem, 'you should see a doctor', I know this is what you get most of the time from internet forums, but even some doctors cant diagnose the issue without some tests, we are talking about 'by a forum post to people who are not doctors' here... :)

Ditto in my office. The young healthy people walk around in sweaters (one has a blanket) all year. we all have space heaters at our desks. Office is between 68 - 73 depending on which section your in and who's messed with the thermostat last. doesn't help that the building is not efficient, so their is air being blown directly down on us all day. I've always attributed it to pulse/blood pressure. Those who are healthy have a lower resting heart rate and lower blood pressure. even when I was fat - I still got cold very easily (normal bp then, right now it's on the border between too low and normal).

I've been having that "problem" (which isn't a problem for me, I prefer the cold). I used to want to crawl in a hole and die if the temperature got over 95F, but this summer it's been getting as high as 105F and it's only made me uncomfortable instead. And I can actually sleep in the summer without air conditioning for the first time! :-D

Yep, talk to my fiancee, she's skinny, was never fat, and is always freezing. I've noticed around the office that most fat guys are almost always warm, while most skinny girls are almost always freezing. Fat is a great insulator, your body probably got used to regulating temperature while you were big and hasn't adjusted yet. I should point out that for a few years after my brain injury, I never really got cold, ever. For a couple years I didn't even own a winter coat. I drove a snow plow and shoveled walkways in a t-shirt. You know Northern IL weather, it gets cold. It wasn't my body weight, but something to do with my body's feedback to my brain or something.

I havent' checked my resting rate since I was 205 (or a lil heavier), and still getting into shape. I should check it again sometime. Mine was the lowest in the room at the time (bunch of family memebers) and it was 74 I believe. I bet it's lower now :D
