I've found that the more I keep working out, the more I find my libido lowering. Does anyone else have this problem? :(

    Ha! The more I work out, the better I feel about myself. The better I fell about myself, well...let's just say the happier my husband is.

    Huh? Nope. It's supposed to have the opposite effect.

    Mine has increased slightly now but it took a while. It did drop considerably when I started because I became aware of how uncomfortable I was with my body and therefore didn't want to be naked or to have anyone looking at me. Now that I'm nearly 40 lbs lighter I'm feeling myself get that confidence back and feeling "frisky" again. :) give it time.

    Mine has definitely increased... in part, I am sure, because the exercise has helped up my endorphins and I'm not as depressed as I was before.

    Opposite. Especially right after when my blood is really pumping (and I don't mean that in a dirty way).

    I have noticed this, I thinks its because of the hard workout and more rest is needed. Of course, the hubby is not so pleased:/

    We see posts like this all the time but overwhelmingly the response is the OPPOSITE. Blood flow, self confidence, better mood and a host of other things make people feel they have INCREASED sex drive since.

    It could be a sign of over-training.

    I'm more all about it then ever before but maybe it's just a lull or a plateau for you, if you will. Try looking up natural healthy foods you can add to your diet and maybe getting a little more rest. If your fatigued that could explain the situation. :)

    I actually find the opposite. The more I work out, the more weight I lose, my libido spikes.

    This is potentially dangerous for my husband.

    I'm the complete opposite as well...maybe you aren't eating enough and its causing a lack of energy? I didn't look at your food diary, so not sure, just a thought.

    Mine went up then back down. You feel good about yourself, buth there are times where you are too tired. Maybe you are trying to get too much done during the day on top of working out? I hate to say this, but maybe all of the positive changes in your life make the other stuff seem less exciting than they were ......it will balance out and adjust:)

    Are you eating enough calories for your increase in activity? And are you doing that stupid South Beach crap that is HORRIBLE for your body and leaves you with ZERO energy? I wonder if you are eating enough good carbs.

    I've found the opposite to be true!! Maybe you're not eating the right stuff so your energy is low by the end of the day? I don't know, but GOOD LUCK!!
