Re: In what order do we loose fat?

Mine generally comes off all over, but I seem to notice changes in my belly first.

And no matter how slim I get, the handles stay....

Maybe those handles are there for a reason?

I am all ears mate.
Not sure what you mean but if it helps her with wanting to do something then I am all ears.
This is quite rediculous actually and very frusterating.
I am far too young to never have sex again in my life, and she is too nice to cheat on.
Kind of funny you brought it up, I actually am upset today about this situation and was thinking in my mind of a way around this all.

Maybe it is the heat, It was 97 degrees here yesterday and I was miserable, today is going to be the same.

I was talking to a friend about this, he asked me if I think she is cheating on me, I said I didnt think so.
Some times it does my head in thinking maybe I am not attractive to her anymore, maybe it is me and not her.
She is going through menopause so I dont mind waiting, but is has been months already since the last time.
I dont have privacy really so the other option is a bit compromised.
I really dont get much affection either and if it was food, I would have starved long ago.

I better stop writing or I am going to be upset......

They're really not getting any use at the moment though.......

As for your Mrs - apparently Gingko Biloba is good, and I'm forever seeing adverts for Ymea on the telly - both are supposed to boost oestrogen levels.
Apparently the sex drive can return when the main symptoms have gone and the hormones have settled.

Having read your posts, I'm bloody dreading it!!!!!

Some women will not suffer from loss of libido.
My buddy said his wife had some problems with libido but once the menopause was over he said her sex drive came back with a vengance.

Thanks Bek for the info, I will pass it on right now.

Re: In what order do we loose fat?

Don't worry Beklet - it hasn't got me yet and I am 52. Still have a regular cycle every month and touch wood, no problems. Guess it affects some people more than others, although I think the good diet , weight training and fitness help no end.

Have a great sex drive - it was good before, but since the lipo 6 it has gone off the scale. Have been taking it for 16 weeks now, and have just ordered some more.

Hackskii I really feel for you, your remarks were sensitive and caring as well as being sad... Hope you find a solution that suits you both.

Can sympathise with the temperatures too - we are at 100 in the shade today with 79percent humidity. A heatwave is forecast to hit us next Tuesday ( and this isn't one ??)

Bless! i know how you feel mate, my misses went through a stage where she could not keep up with me. It does make you start to question there commitment to the relationship and also whether it is actually you with the problem.

The reason Lipo6 works on the libido is the interaction Yohimbine has with the dopaminergic system.

L-Dopa is a prescription drug which in high doses can cause physiological problems. So i would steer clear of this unless you really know what your doing!

Luckily there a a few natural remedies which contain high amounts of L-Dopa...One of these is called "Mucuna pruriens" Also Broad beans (Especially baby one's) contain lots of L-dopa, you could sneak these in to her meals without her knowing a thing lol

I believe dopamine enhancing drugs are the successor to Viagra with the added bonus of libido increase.

Be interesting to see how she gets on with it!

Re: In what order do we loose fat?

I bought a few things from the health food store and Mucuna pruriens was one of them, also one bottle of something that is supposed to be for women only, also some DHEA.
I might even have some yohimbe laying around.

Greekgodess, how long did it take you with the lipo to notice the change in libido?

Viagra does nothing for libido, it is a vasodialator, works on the plumbing.
MTII on the other hand does work on libido at the hypothalamus, she did try it once and it did work on libido, but she also got the other side of nausia, she felt like having sex but she also felt like throwing up.
PT-141 is another one that works on libido, also an injectable works just like MT-II but with no tanning.

I actually got lucky yesterday after I put alot of pressure on her, it has been so long. Sadly she didnt enjoy it and didnt really want me to take the time to satisfy her down there either.

Damn

Problem is, the less you get, the less you want it too - went through something similar a few years back. My libido is back to normal now, still no idea what caused it, just hope it doesn't happen again!

Re: In what order do we loose fat?

In reply to your question Hackskii, I noticed a change in my sex drive within about a week of taking them.

That was on the reduced dose of two a day . I found the energy surge too much to cope with on the full dose. It took me a few weeks to work up to three a day, and still can't take four.

The energy boost kicked in as soon as I started taking them. I talked and thought at super speed, felt like I could run round the ceiling with the energy and felt better than I had for years. I have been taking them for a few months now, taking them for the eight weeks then having a week to ten days off. There has been no fall off in effect, on either my energy levels or libido so far.

Have been on a cutting diet for a few weeks, and have not had the low energy levels I used to get when cutting carbs to low levels. Thinking of this, has she been dieting hard, or missing out on some nutrients in her diet, maybe ?

I have heard a lot of criticism of Lipo 6 but I can only say they have worked great for me, and have done more than the advertising promised. The increase in sex drive was not advertised, and came as a very pleasant side effect!

Re: In what order do we loose fat?

Thanks Goddess for that information.

She eats very little as she is so self concious about her weight.
This in itself could be limiting for her loss.
Catabolic hormones from worrying or what ever else....

I think she looks nice myself. She on the otherhand does not...
This might be the problem in itself actually.
She does not feel sexy........Not at all......
I think she is, but she does not......
I, Must not be hot enough....lol.....Just kidding...........

Maybe she needs some Hormones?

Maybe she needs me to make her feel more sexy?
I think she is hot............id like her to feel that.

Ok, sorry to hyjack this thread..............lol

Back on topic, I lose the fat in my face first............................

Re: In what order do we loose fat?

That may be the problem - she worries about her weight and is self conscious. Many women feel they are not attractive enough to their partner and feel exposed by intimate contact . Telling her may not help, as she tells herself more often that she is not attractive, feels fat or whatever else crosses her mind all the time.

It might be worth her asking for a blood test to have her estrogen checked out. It could be low and causing problems for her without her knowing what is wrong. She may not even realise anything is wrong.

Don't know if you have managed to talk about these things with her, I realise you have to be careful not to upset her by saying the wrong thing - we have all been there, male or female!

Try showing her lots of love and affection, little touches, a kiss goodbye in the morning, a scalp massage and non threatening things. Make it clear that you are doing them because you love her, not to instigate sex. Can you manage to get some time together to have fun and just be close to each other, with no pressure either way?

If you need any more help or don't want to say things on the public side of this site please PM me. I'm not sure if I can PM anyone yet, can I?
