Losing weight and dating.... KEEPING MY SEXY!!!

I know this is an age old topic... but losing weight and dating.

So many date nights start off with... "Dinner and a movie."

But trying to remain sexy and "drop 10 pound preparing for summer" (Drake Plug), you have to remember the alternatives.

Dancing, bowling, shucks just a walk around the harbor.

Step away for the table and try something else.

Besides, he can't see all that sexiness that you have sitting down. :tongue: :love:

What else do you have in mind for an active date night, where you can still get to know someone???

    YES!!! My sister did this. They ended the evening sharing a hospital room signing each other casts with their email addresses.

    I guess it depends on whether this is a first date or not.

    First date: dinner and a movie is so lame, I'm sorry. Not only is it completely cliched, but you don't really get a chance to talk to the other person.

    If this is a person you've been seeing a while, that's different. Someone mentioned minigolf - that's fun. Or going to a museum, if that's your thing. Or if there's a local thing, like we have the farmers market here in the summer. Gives you a chance to be active and outside, and not just sitting in the dark, stuffing your face.

    i would imagine if one liked volley ball, that could be fun. and if it turns out you dont, well, you tried something new! I've often talked with my boyfriend about going for hikes, because i know i like that and he might too. since its long distance talk is pretty much all we have for now lol.

    Not married because neither of them want to go through that again, however, they have been together over a decade and had my beautiful nephew 5 years ago.

    My boyfriend and I LOVE going exploring!

    Have you ever gone Geocaching? It's where people place prizes and objects around the world, and you go looking for them! Seriously, it's a ton of fun!

    I've been "dating" my man for 5 yrs and we still date but yes dinner and a movie get old. Here are some things we do alternatively:
    1. Go to the science or art museum. We've been to both several times and thoroughly enjoy ourselves.
    2. Go to a soccer game (any sport really) yeah you may be tempted to eat chili cheese fries but I always pack us little snacks in my purse which save calories and money
    3. Go swimming. Nothing says "I'm trying to keep my figure" by working it out and the pool is always fun together.
    4. Go fishing and/or hiking. I love nature and it's beautiful to discover together
    5. Music festival. I live in a college town and close to a big city so there are always different music festivals (jazz, rock, etc.)
    6. Go to the park and play. I play soccer with my fiancé and we really work up a sweat
    7. Coffee shop and play board games (I like chess personally). Escape the calories by getting a tea or something low cal.
    8. My personal favorite is dancing. I love this. Bachata and salsa are two of my favorites. It's high energy and so much fun.
    9. Paintball. I've been once-screamed like a girl and wanted to go home but maybe some couple will love it. Lol
    Wanted to make this 10 but that's all I got for now :bigsmile:

    So apparently sex is high on the list. LOL.

    I'll keep that in mind.

    I think the Skydiving would be sooo awesome for a first date. Then you would know quickly what kind of person you are dealing with.

    A. Did he pee his pants just at the thought
    B. Did he immediately beg and pray to God and still was down
    C. Did he book the reservation and show you his membership card. LOL
    D. Did he call and cry to his Mommy!
