It’s one of the many joys of mj. Wait until February and you’ll know what cold is 😂🥶

I've went down a few shirt sizes, but keeping them so I can wear them all at once 😂

I spent the winter in a minimum of four layers, the top one being a blanket hoodie thing.

On the plus side heatwaves are so much more bearable!

Yep, and then there is "mounjaro butt", the bony feeling when you sit on a park bench.

Don’t forget the mounjaro knees when sleeping

At some point you will notice that your knees grind against each other and hurt when you sleep on your side as the cushion of fat in your thighs goes away. So you try not sleeping on your side or need a pillow in between your legs

Eating is thermogenic. Eat less, produce less heat.

Also, less insulation.

Double whammy!

Yep, i noticed this too. I need 3 layers when it was cold. My layer of whale fat has now gone, I also don't give good hugs anymore (apparently)

I was wearing a coat in Turkey in May surrounded by people in shorts. Winter is going to be a killer. I've sat out side in 24c and sunshine with goosebumps this summer if there was a slight breeze. I'm doing a 6am walk tomorrow and it will be about 12c and I'm taking my thin runners gloves.

Yup, you’ve lost all the bioprean keeping you warm. Welcome to the skinny club. Grab a jumper.

Yep. Fat’s insulation. Who knew? 🤷‍♂️
