Libido???? whats that????

[Swannee]

Hey all, a bit of a personal concern here but thought I would throw it out there to hopefully rule out being the only one!!
Has anyone else experienced a massive drop in their libido while on the diet?? despite my emerging new body and feeling of slimness, for me the only reason for going to bed is for SLEEP , very confusing and annoying some feed back would be appreciated

I'm sorry, I'm the other way around... :mrgreen:

It'd have something to do with hormones. I guess I got the better end of that stick

Hi Asy, well lucky you!!!! trust me to get the wrong end of the stick, I can only hope things improve as I go along or should I say Hubby would be hoping that too!!
Oh, while I am talking to you, can you just advise me on updating the tickers, do we go back to the ticker link??
Hope you are having a nice day

My libido was slow to start with but now all my husband has to do is say how skinny I look and thats it (these men know all the tricks) stick with it you will start to feel more confident about yourself soon - there will be no stopping u

Hi Swanee
Just click on your ticker in one of your posts and it should direct you to the link to update your ticker. You just click on the update link, enter your pin and update your weight - easy pizy! and I am certainly not an IT person
cheers

Thanks knickers, i will keep fingers crossed!! Congrats on your fabbo weight loss!!

Ecogirl, thanks for the info, but for some reason my cursor wont change to a hand when held over my ticker, it does on everyone else's but not on mine????? weird, might have to wait for Asy advice as she helped me set it up.

Hey Swannee!

I seem to remember I did go through a 'slow spell' libido wise earlier in the piece, but I've been on the programme for some time now... hehe, it's turned around...

Remember, Intimacy is like Chocolate, the more you have, the more you want. Make the effort to start the ball rolling, and you'll find your libido will follow.

Amanda, thanks for answering about the ticker, but Swannee's ticker isn't a link. I'll try to fix that... Swannee, could you PM (privately Message) me with the link to your ticker and I'll fix it for you.

On another note - I am now painting my toes which I haven't done for years cos it was a bit of a challenge with the belly getting in the way. I still have a belly but it's noticably smaller than before.

I seem to want to make more of an effort in my appearance. Does anyone else find themselves doing that (male or female)?

Yes! I think we all are...

Brie and I have both become Shoe Divas.

I'm naturally a size 12 shoe, but when I was huge, the weight goes everywhere, including the feet. Trust me. My feet swelled to a size 13E.

I could only fit into MENS shoes. And they ain't pretty. (well, unless you go to a drag shop, then they're just gaudy!)

Now my feet have shrunk, I fit a size 12 and some 11's. I've bought myself a pair of high heeled court shoes, high heeled straps, high heeled sequinned straps, flat shopping shoes (slides) and black under-jeans shoes.

The one 'problem' is, last year Andrew (my other half) bought me a pair of expensive runners for my birthday, but now they're a little too big. Still not too bad, though...

I also have a great pair of Blundstones, but they're steel capped, for running of chainsaws and sawmills...

YES Amanda, it is exciting going out, you just want to dress up and have people notice the weight loss, I have had the biggest clean out of my closet I refuse to keep the fat clothes never going back there!!! and shoppinjg for new clothes is so much fun I fit into some size 14 jeans the other day and I was having my own little party in the dressing room boy was it a happy day!!! I have even booked in for some waxing to be done never done that before!!!

The best bit is being able to experiment with clothing styles that you could never get away with before - stuff that was unflattering to your body shape.
I NEVER EVER wore a suit with a jacket shorter than mid thigh (Had to cover my bargy ar#se) and give me slimming lines, but now....... YEA HAH! as for the libido thing - i think my husbands has been more effected than mine
