    MsTipps got a reaction from bufbills in Cheating on your partner after weight loss   
    I can only speak from my own experience. My husband and I had mismatched sex drives. I was an every day gal (more if there was time), he was a once every week or two guy. I struggled. I felt rejected, ugly, unloved, unwanted and lost confidence. We tried talking but he wasn't up for a compromise. I never cheated but I can see how you could think that way. My advice is to deal with the bigger issues. Firstly, is there a medical reason for his low libido e.g. hormones or stress etc. Secondly, is there an emotional reason? Then see if there's a compromise to be made. You can take care of your own needs if it's purely sexual and he doesn't have to have sex to be actively involved in making sure you get off. To me, cheating would cause nothing but misery. No penis is worth the cost of an otherwise happy marriage x

    I guess maybe stretching or eating all the wrong things? Whatever it is, one thing is for sure - she wasn't sticking to her plan! X

    I'm asthmatic and on longterm steroids too. I hope this doesn't make it harder to lose weight.

    So, I've lost a lot of weight and am feeling good. I look better... With my clothes on... Clothes off, I look like a burst balloon and my boobs are like golf balls in tube socks. When my weight has stabilized I plan on surgery. Question is, is there a package deal that does tummy, boobs and bingo wings?!

    I felt embarrassed at the thought of them seeing my private areas but these folks are professionals and are used to it. The only way I knew they'd been near the paper panties was because there was an iodine stain on the elastic waist of them. I woke up perfectly decent lol x

    Hi, everyone. Just doing a quick check in. I had my surgery 1/30/18. HW was 440, surgery weight was 409. I'm currently at 295. I feel like I'm losing slowly, but so happy to be in 2's. I have a long way to go, but thankful for where I am now. Congrats to everyone on their weight loss!
