I have to ask, is it normal to feel amorous SO MUCH when you lose weight and start to see results? Is it that you feel good or is it really something chemical going on? :blushing: Maybe it is just me! lol. :tongue: I went from pretty much wanting to cover up everything all the time to wanting to walk around in running shorts and a sports bra daily.

    Well, it's because you feel good. :smile:

    Also, because when you lose weight, your body is producing more hormones due to you not reaching equilibrium yet (your body lowering the levels). So, that could be it too. :wink: At least if I am remembering correctly from things I read.. which apparently leads to women being more fertile when they lose weight too.

    You feel healthier, sexier, better about yourself, you have more energy, what part of that wouldn't equate to a higher sex drive?!

    I think it's pretty normal. You feel better about yourself physically, you look better, your body is performing at a better level....makes sense to me!

    I'm the same way. I would cover everything up with baggy clothes even when going to the gym. Now i've been buying workout clothes like crazy that show off my new figure

    I now wander around my house butt naked and I seem to be happier with my body so I wear more "form fitting" clothing.

    I have no idea if it is just because you feel better or changes in hormones or what, but it is one change that I have been enjoying :wink:

    I think it as to be a little of both. All the blood flow is going to all the right places PLUS the gained confidence that comes with losing weight!


    On a side note, .....I am willing to bet it wont take long for this posting to get out of control, once the usual suspects visit! lol

    Use a birth control method, and I am sure you'll be fine. :wink: I know that I am feeling fantastic too.. just higher levels of self confidence too. :smile:

    I do think it's more mental than chemical... I'll be super in the mood but the idea of him seeing me naked instantly diminishes my desire. Enjoy! and rock that sport bra like it's nobody's business!!! :flowerforyou:

    Im not sure what it is exactly, but personally I think it has to do with the fact that I have so much more self confidence. My husband is very loving and was supportive of me when I was struggling with my weight, but now I feel so much better about myself and I think it shows.

    I found that with getting in better shape comes more confidence. With more confidence comes getting new clothes. With those new clothes, comes sexy frilly small items. So in the end increases the sexy feeeling. So with increased sexy feeling comes ........ Well You know....... Bumps in the night!!!!!
