This is a bit embarrassing but I have to ask

Lexie71

I haven't noticed a change one way or the other....

Definitely the opposite for me. The more I work out, the more happy endorphins you release which puts you in a good mood, and it should make you feel sexy and WANT somebody. That's how it's been for me.

lilRicki

maybe you're just tired?

Let's just say my left-hand is a little stronger now.. <

did i just say that?!?!:blushing:

Truthfully, it's higher, and according to the wife, i need to stop working out so much!!

dawnna76

supposedly your supposed to have more of a drive.

me not so much. but I didnt have onebefore I started working out either. I think it has more to do with my two toddlers than anything else

TheMaidOfAstolat

It goes up...at least for me it did. Sucks being single though, lol. :blushing: :embarassed:

For guys, I know that testosterone is burned off, and it's best to get your heavy lifting done within 45-60 mins to ensure that you're getting the most use. But afterward, libido should increase. But that's just from a male perspective. So I'm not sure about women, but I would assume it's different for everyone.

However, here is an article worth reading (and I'm sure there are others on the web to find). This says that it should increase with exercise, so there could very likely be other factors playing into this.

Although, I have cut down on my carbs quite a bit.

I think your answer is right there.

You are simply knackered due to carb restriction leading to a loss of libido. It's hard to be frisky when all you want to do is go to sleep...

I agree that it could be overtraining, also since you are eating less calories to lose weight, you might not be getting all the nutrients you need. use your reports to check on iron especially.
good luck! hope you start having more fun soon!

shardown

I'll take the advice given here and I'm going to increase my calorie intake cos this is frustrating the both of us. Maybe take a couple of breaks from training here and there. Thanks guys!

humblemonkey

definitely the opposite! more confidence....more endorphins....more want for sex! haha

It may be that your body is simply fatigued due to the increase in exercise. Give it some time and maybe get a little more rest, I am sure it will either return or begin to increase as time goes on and your body adjust. If not, see you doctor as it may be a sign of something else.

I know mine goes up increasingly! Maybe get a quick blood test maybe you are low in something or maybe hormone level is off!

I feel awsome about myself and mine has Sky Rocketed, worried about what will happen when i reach my goal , look out...lol

KeriD

Quite the opposite for me....hubby is very happy :bigsmile:

During the week absolutely!! I work 11 hour days, go straight to the gym, come home and cook a nutritious meal for me and my fiance, pack our lunches and then I'm lucky to sit for an hour before bed! Not to mention the constant planning of what I'm eating, how much I need to exercise, stressing if I'm over, wondering how to tell my friends I do not want to go to our favourite restaurant and have 10 martinis!! Starting a lifestyle change is exhausting sometimes!

My fiance's also coming the gym with me and there has been an increase in his libido :embarassed:

I have not had this problem myself, but in one of my biology classes, we studied the connection between hormone and testosterone levels during exercise. Actually, exercise is suppose to increase the libido, as it increases the release of these hormones, however, it varies from person to person. In your case, you want to consider that moderation is a factor too. Because too much of any thing is not good for you, even a good thing.
