Hi Everybody,

I am 4 months out and 68 years old. I am almost too embarassed to ask this, but you're family right? I know there is improvement in body image as a factor in libido, but I have had such an increase (like someone turned the switch to on) that I have never experienced anything like this even when I was in my 20's and in great shape. Believe me, my husband isn't complaining, he just feels like he's sleeping with a new woman LOL! I am concerned, however, feeling like this has become an obsession. I know some people would say go with the flow (no pun intended), but I feel out of control. I read somewhere that as fat cells shrink they release hormones, not sure what kind. My husband is concerned that the switch will just as suddenly be turned to off. I know some won't consider this a problem, but I truly am worried.

OMG, enjoy it while you can! LOL Keep it at home and it'll be soooooooooooo healthy for you. I'm sorry to say that i have no experience with this, so no words of wisdom. Just have fun, don't make it another source of stress. Think of it as a really nice, long vacation, they all come to an end and become fond memories.

All I can speak for is the guys and YES the ratio of testosterone per pound increases so it's just like getting a "booster shot". I had to start T shots a few years ago and had to cut waaayyy back on my dosage, becasue as I lost a lot of weight the T level went through the roof.

I understand that estrogen is also stored in fat so as it's burned the ladies also get a "boost" in sex drive too.

Go get 'em tigress!

DH is sure hopping I get that boost, lol.

It could be some sort of cross-addiction, if you are really worried it might not be a bad idea to talk to a psychologist.

lol got the same thing going on too. The extra weight decreases hormones levels, so as we lose it the hormone levels increase. I didn't have a monthly for a long time, and now it's back on the regular. Enjoy you new found libido!

Happy Valentines
