:blushing: :heart: Okay, so I have always wanted to ask. Maybe some of you know. Why, when I "fall in love", do I lose weight? When I am excited about someone in my life, my weight always decreases. Even when I am super thin. I have tried to get this feeling of "fullness" from meditation,exercise, etc. It seems that only love works! I am sure it's the seratonin (educated guess!) yet there must be some healthy way to get that going without the love....:blushing: :heart:

    I'm the opposite! I get fat when I'm in a relationship and drop pounds like it's going outta style when we break up! :laugh:

    I joke with my BF that he should break up with me so I can lose the 15 pounds quick with no problems! :bigsmile:

    I used to lose weight when I fell for a new guy. I have been steadily gaining since I married my husband............hmmmmmm leads to wondering:laugh: :laugh:

    I really do think there is a biological reason for the phenomonon. I will have to look it up tomorrow!!

    Maybe when you fall in love, you are more happy.

    Happy = More laughter = burning more calories

    mssaipho--I really never thought about that. I always thought it was chemistry yet you may be right...I may have to look this up myself....:heart::smile:

    lol- love makes your comfortable -

    I always lose weight when my husband deploys then when he comes home I gain weight- Well this time I dropped alot of weight and gained 9-10lbs when he came home but caught it before all my hard work went down the drain and lost it- and had to realize I can't eat like him and that I have to be active (when he is gone I am super busy and running around so I become more active)--

    I agree with mrsyac2 This deployment has kept me busy and I know when my husband is home to resume his part of our life I will start to fell back into my do nothing life.

    If you know when he comes home you will fall back into your old ways it is your responsibility to not let that happen-- As soon as the scale went up I kicked into action-- I refuse to be fat-

    You can stay in shape when your husband is home-
