Overweight and marriage

[j.silverstone]

This is a bit personal, but I would love to have some support..

I’m around my 40’s and I have a lot of overweight. I have started training and I have specific diet plan. My wife is supporting me 100% during this process.

My motivation to weight loss started because I started to have lot of different kind of health problems. Overweight also caused me a lot of erectile problems. It started to affect our marriage and sex life. I started to use [spammylink] occasionally and I have seen some improvement. Also this 10kg weight loss has been helping me in this side of the life but still 35kg to loose.This has been very challenging journey but I am happy that I started it.

Is there anyone else facing same kind of problems? How has your weight affected your sex life negatively, if it has?Has weight loss helped you with erectile problems?

30 minutes of vigorous exercise per day (good cardio workout with heart rate around 135-140 sustained) will help not only in the weight loss but also in the hydraulics department. If that doesn't help then there may be more physiological issues going on that you would need to discuss with your physician.

I just joined the 40's club myself a few months ago. I too have noticed less desire and energy for sex as my weight has increased. Haven't really noticed any erectile problems.

So far, I have lost 20.3 pounds over the past 5 1/2 weeks, and have noticed an increased desire for sex and more energy since I have started losing weight. I am looking forward to see what will happen as I continue to lose weight and add exercise into my weekly routine.
