6 Months out and still have broken mojo

[StefanieSparklePants 95]

Ok. Pretty personal question here. And for anyone easily offended, maybe you should keep scrolling....

So, I'm 6, almost 7 month out and I have absolutely ZERO sex drive. Nothing. Now I know we usually hear the opposite story; everyone's skinny and getting laid with a sense of newly found confidence. Not me. I don't even think about sex anymore and I'm concerned enough to seek help on the forums. Has anyone else experienced this? And did your libido come back? I know we're dealing with crazy hormonal things as we lose weight and our calories have been so drastically reduced, that this could explain some of it. I hope exercising will help as I've been pretty much not exercising.

Any advice?

Not sure. I suspect that as you lose weight, the hormones that were stored inert in your fat cells are being dumped into your system. As you flush out your system with Water, your kidneys are expelling them from your body. Eventually when you level off in weight loss and enter maintenance phase, these extra hormones will no longer be dumped from your fat cells and your system should level out.

Exercise might help. Also I would make sure that you are drinking filter Water not tap water in order to minimize any additional load on your kidneys.
