I have this. When i was thinner but still chubby i was filled out and nice and curve. Now when i lay i have a loose skin flap with a bit of fat still left in it that just sags down xD I can tuck it into my panties when their on but i definatly think about it in certain positions or whatever and it can kill the mood quickly XD Going to try losing the weight a bit more see if it improves or gets beter im hoping to god it improves XD Not the end of the world i suppose
Edit: just noticed i lost 80 pounds now and have 10-15 to go so were similar stats Hope for the best for us both
Oddly that was me too, i remember taking this really nice nude photo and sending it to my man when i was probably in the 200's but it looked really good, course i dont have the photo now so maybe my opinion might be different but i remember feeling super confident in it, etc
Now im 141 pounds and i would rather light myself on fire then get in front of the camera.. ive gone out of my way to buy special clothing, i avoid certain camera angles, My first time wearing a little maids outfit for my man after my weight loss was awful.. it had a sheer fabric across the belly and i have a chubby stomach still with loose skin and the short little skirt showed the loose skin on my thighs and it had an open back and i just felt so awkward and yet he LOVED it.. wanted me to stand at a distance and let him get a good look at me lol.. and my first comment when he asked me to do that was .. "really...?" haha.. i couldn't understand it.. i am very uncomfortable in my own skin
Amazing how that works isnt it? Guy im seeing wants me all dressed up and i dont mind wearing sexy tight dresses for him and heels but some stuff is just awful XD But he loves it. I look best in high waisted leggings now i look skinny as hell when my pouch is held in. Admitedly i look hot and thin when i stand its just a little pouch i can tuck in and then my ribs basically stick out and my tummy looks flat. But when i bend in any direction it appears and says hello -.- I honestly have to wonder how it hides so well whe ni stand it makes no logical sense its not small... Guess ill have to hold my head up high, For an entirely different reason xD God i hope it doesnt get worse.
Pro tip though, Candle light hides all ;D I try to think of myself in my good angles and try to forget about the bad ones. Its difficult at times but you definatly need to. You worked hard you deserve to feel hot . But yeah im not that shy about it its kind of like a battle trophy. Just super gross one XD

I'm with you! I'm only 4 11 and I went from 236 down to 172 so far. When I was bigger I did not want anything to do with sex. Actually causing problems in the marriage. Now, I can't stop wanting it all the time. I not only have a higher drive, the sex is over all more exciting than before.0

My sex drive is the same. Losing the weight makes it easier to get into position(s) and last longer. If only my husband felt the same way.

I'm the opposite of most of the responses here.........Mine has way gone down because I'm too effin exhausted all the time from training 6 days week.1

I feel like I've always had a pretty high sex drive. But before it was like I wanted to have sex but was really embarrassed about how I looked which kind of made it not so enjoyable.
I still have about 45 lbs that I want to lose but I honestly am coming to love the way my body looks and that's the ultimate goal for me. If I get to a point where I'm super happy with how I look and it's not that goal weight, I'll stop losing.
So my desire/want for sex is probably about the same, but I feel much better about it and enjoy it so much more.
It does take up a lot of brain space though if I'm being honest.0 -
I lost around 3 stone last year, my sex drive was soaring as I began to gain more confidence in my body - but, in my case the other half could not see past the rest of the fat still to lose. It's not always our fault......2

Mine has improved somewhat. I have noticed if I take a rest day and/or don't eat as healthy as I usually do, the sex drive immediately crashes.1
-
Yes libido majorly increased. Want it all the time.1
-
I'm asexual. That doesn't change no matter how much I lose.6
-
I guess I must be an outlier, then. My libido hasn't decreased, regardless of what weight I am. Probably to the point that it annoys my husband.
I want it almost all the time and weight gain/loss has never changed that.0 -
The problem comes in when your libido skyrockets, and your partner's doesn't.3
-
I did not find any significant difference in sex drive unless I wasn't eating appropriately. The first time I lost weight, I lost some of my sex drive because I was undereating. This time, I haven't felt any major difference.1

My wife would tell you I was always horny 50 pounds ago and I'm always horny now. Sex is definitely better at 215 then 320. Better stamina, more flexibility, and my wife loves the muscles.1

Same here with my wife. Loose skin bothers me, but doesnt bother her at all.1 -

Sex is just like other exercises now for me going easier 😅0
