Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Yes, I'm freezing all the time. i was never able to keep warm easily, even when heavy. now that there is almost no fatty layer left, it's almost impossible. My new best friends are heavy hiking sox, thermal or silk underwear, turtlenecks, and flannel scarves. Larry, you might want to consider putting in propane heat. I did, 2 yrs ago, and i LOVE it. It is warm, radiant, efficient, inexpensive (at least compared to electric heaters), and, if you use wall heaters, you can cozy up to them for instant warmth if you're cold. Isn't getting thinner a bummer? :-) Sandy, RN > Have you all noticed that as you get thinner because of the band, the more easily you get chilled? > Well I have, anyway I heat my house with wood as well as > electric forced air heaters.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hey larry where are you getting these? A possible money savings tip Have you all noticed that as you get thinner because of the band, the more easily you get chilled? Well I have, anyway I heat my house with wood as well as electric forced air heaters. Sometimes I'd get those boxes of 9 6pound " presto " logs from COSTCO at about $14/box. I live in a rural area and one of the farm supply places had a sale on the fire logs. Depending on type, the 6 pound logs were about 70 cents each. These are bulk, in fact you could buy them by the pallet if you wanted, and aren't wrapped in a fire starter variety paper nor a fancy box but they are a lot less costly. Likely you'd want to store them in a dry spot as they'd likely disintegrate in the rain. The warehouse person where I got them said that they cost about the same as firewood from people that sold it.
