Blue Nails!

nessie

Loooooves MiniMins
Hi, on day 6 and been feeling the cold and my nails are blue pretty much all the time unless the room is really really warm. Anyone else have that problem?
 
lol thanks Delli
 
I dunno about day 6 but the first 4 days i was constantly freezing! Esp hands and feet!
 
It is common to be cold on the diet BUT blue nails is not that common, hence you should pop along and see your GP and get a general health check to make sure you are safe and sound, sure everything is fine but always best to be safe :)

No blue nails, but a blue tongue! (only joking, check my avatar - different story!)

However, I do usually feel the cold but since doing SS on CD I have been pretty much freezing all the time. At home the heating is on high and I've always got a hot water bottle for feet/hands/back - in fact, wherever needs it most!
 
Sounds like me Lil K.

I dont have the blue nails thing though, you should get that checked out.
 
when you press your nail does it go white and when you release the pressure go blue again. ? it is not normal to get to blue nails but yes if you are like an ice box then extremeties will always go blue first . as you are colder you veins and arteries constrict so to places like ears, fingers, toes will always go the coldest first and turn a bluish colour cos of the blood supply. it is just the bodies way of dealing with the cold. . stick a pair of gloves on and warm them hands. it is prob cos you are cold.
how are you feeling in yourself ?

Hey Sue, I'm feeling fine, it is something I get bother with if I'm pretty cold, which I have been since starting the diet, it's not so bad now as the house is heating up more (old farmhouse and takes a while for it to heat up) like I said it needs to be really warm for me to feel cosy since starting SS. Nevermind tho, haven't felt ill or anything, just the sore head thing, so I can handle this I think lol.
 
Hey Sue just noticed our start weights and goal weight are pretty much the same, would be good to update each other on our progress
 
yeah ...... was at 12 9 did 2 weeks then stuffed my face and started ss again yesterday ... fortunately despite all my eating last week ididnt put any weight back on !!! so i am at 12 st 1 now . my first goal is to make 11 stone by end of novemebr.... was aiming for 10 10 but my try and get to 10 stone . have never ever been that light before my usual pre kid wt was always around 10 st 4 which for me is a perfect size 14 !!! i do keep hopping on and off scales ........ heres for a decent loss this week . although ,y cdc did say as it is not a huge amount to loose losses maybe smaller than what others get , i tihnk that i felt quite despondant last week losing 5 lb was hoping it would be 8 or 9lb !!! so thought stuff it... much more focused now though. ( im 36 and 5f5" )...
so have you been hopping on and off scales ? do your clothes feel looser ? i feel the same !!!!
 
Hey Sue, nah my clothes don't feel any looser yet but dont feel bloated or anything. First WI tomorrow so really hoping for a good loss.
 
Wel nessie i must say i do suffer from blue fingernails and toenails which has only become more prominent since ive been on CD but mines due to poor circulation
 
yeah I have poor circulation too and like you its more prominent with the CD, hopefully it'll get better.
 
Does the coldness get any better? Wish I'd done this for my wedding, didnt know about it then tho. You'll meet your target for your wedding and will look fab!
 
thanks Nessie, i'm not even ssing and im FREEZING and theres no way i can be in ketosis on 1200kcals lol so sorry but if ur anything like me you'll have freezing cold days....sowwy!!!! Ive worked out if i lose 2lbs a week between now and wedding ill have a stone left to lose which im ok with just have to try and stick to it for longer than 2 weeks at a time lol
 
Hey Nessie, I suffer with blue nails a lot of the time. And feel the cold terribly - so on SS you can imagine what it's like!! I also have this weird thing where my fingers go wrinkly (like you've been in the bath too long) but it's cold and hard. Been to see my GP and referred to hospital for tests, but it's been put down to poor circulation :rolleyes:. Best get it checked just in case thou hun x
