Has anyone's significant other admitted they find them more attractive after the weight was lost?

    When you weigh 334 lbs sex is not fun, it is a job and one that would wear me out! I am looking forward to making up for lost time with my wonderful husband, he has stuck by me when I didn't want him

Once upon a time I did lose 60 lbs on jenny craig's diet, and my hubby was absolutely annoying with all his compliments and flirtiness. I look forward to that again, believe it or not! LOL! When you feel attractive, others will find you more attractive-I truly believe this!

My husband grabs my arm all the time to look at me and tell me I am "hot". I appreciate the comments and love that he notices.

Wow-hearing this gives me hope! I am so looking forward to my husband complimenting me on my hot, new body and trying to get me into bed all of the time! Woohoo!

My husband said today that he loved my body before but since I am so much happier, that's all the better for him! I love good men.

My husband loved/chased after me before, and it's MUCH WORSE now, LOL!! We're both sleevers, and I know from personal experience that yes, I definitely loved him and his body before, but both are so much more fun now! We've talked about it a lot--it's a combination of better energy, better mood, better self-image, more confidence, plus from a purely mechanical perspective, we just seem to work together better, if you get my drift. ;)

So yeah, it's something to look forward to, for sure.

So true about others connecting with your confidence. I'm down about 40 lbs in 9 weeks and, while I was confident before, I'm so much more comfortable in my skin and am noticing people taking more notice. As for sex, I'm slightly envious of you marrieds...as a single girl who's not trying to sleep with everyone she sees I'm starting to feel quite frustrated!! :)

Thanks everybody! Hubby still calls me beautiful but I want to be called SEXY again! Sleeve is 25th and I can't wait to start my new life :)

I am looking forward to making up for lost time with my wonderful husband, he has stuck by me when I didn't want him to touch me because I was embarrassed of how big I was, I have told him that I hope I wear him out wanting sex more now and he said "Honey, you just go right ahead and try".
