Anyone else notice an improvement in 'intimacy' since losing weight?

My husband is also on this site and between us we have lost a fair amount of weight, we are also much fitter etc. I have noticed a very positive change for the better and wondered if others have had the same 'benefit' from this? I had not even considered this before. :flowerforyou: :blushing: :devil:

Absolutely! When I am feeling rotten about myself, I don't want my DH anywhere near me some days, but when I start losing weight and feeling better about myself, I don't think twice about waking him up in the middle of the night!

I have noticed my husband initiates more often since I have dropped some weight. Before I would have to practically beg him (which did nothing for my self esteem) to be intimate. If it is like this now I can't wait til I drop the rest of the weight I need off!

Yes. I can run for two hours straight.... So well that helps my endurance in other places.

Good for both of you. I hope you continue on the wonderful journey together with more joy every day.

I belive that I have to be able to want my self before someone wants me. I'm not there yet But I will get there. So yes I can understand a positive difference because both partners want firmnes.

When you lose belly fat, it increases blood flow around your vital organs...and other good places. :-)

Oh yea! More stamina, flexibility, and being physically closer. It also feels great that my hubby can actually wrap his arms around me.

Because I feel more confident about myself, it shows there as well. I feel great so Im able to enjoy a whole lot better. Actually we both feel as if we are teenagers again. I would never turn back knowing how well I feel today. Its not all about weight loss, its about living a happy fulfilled life.

LOL - um absolutely. We don't call it P90SEX for nothing.

karenjoy

lol it's all part of a very marvelous change for the better. I am finding my husband is like a teenager and considering we didn't meet until he was 48 and is now 55 I think that is pretty darn amazing. He also snores less, sleeps better and generally it has literally taken years off him.

I am one very happy lady :laugh:

bayouswampmike

I was told I snore way less.

YOU BET!!! And isn't it AWESOME!!!! Jokingly our 21 year old daughter even bought us a book called " The Cosmo Kama Sutra..77 mind-blowing sex posistions" FOR CHRISTMAS!!! We laughed so hard, but we are NOW using the book :happy:

braddydm

I LOVE that!! P90SEX!!! LMAO!!! thank you!!

Actually, I did notice this, and I'm not sure if its that he's more attracted to me because of the weight (because I've only lost 14lbs) or if it's my boost in confidence, but the 'baby, you're so pretty today's have gotten much more common.

mrmarius

i seem to have gotten "bigger" since losing weight

CarolHudson11

I think it has a lot to do with self-confidence, as well. I'm single, but I've noticed that I'm getting more "looks" than I was. Before, it was as if I was invisible - but it might have been the vibes I was putting out there. The "I'm gross...don't look at me" thing. Now, I'm thinking "I'm looking good - hey...take a look at me!" Confidence is sexy.

Being heavy completely killed any drive I had.

Scidoc

Yes definitely! Could be because I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin and so that translates to a lot more physical contact and not hiding in the dark under the sheets! Not to mention flexibility and stamina, lol!

carissagrayson

It definitely does help. I pretty much didnt want to touch my husband but I have lost only 17lbs so far and boy has that made a difference.

ziggythecat

while I don't yet feel like i'm exactly as attractive as I once was to my wife, I am definitely a lot closer to being able to bring it like the old days.
