LOL - I had this issue! My doctor said it was the hormone changes from losing weight and when things stabilized it would get back to normal. I've been maintaining for 2 months now and things have improved greatly. Dh is very pleased.

Yay! Thanks for chiming in!!!! I will be sure to tell hubby that we are in a temporary rut....no fair to him i'm finally wearing figure hugging clothes but definitely not "feeling it". Sigh.
OMG -- I really enjoyed reading these and having a good laugh -- WITH you all, not at you. I see postings I made my first time around, so the problem hasn't improved since then (even after I went off IP for awhile). Poor DH. But he's still around so I must be a good cook or something! LOL
LOL, I haven't notice much difference before, during, or after IP, but I will say our main issue is getting time together when we both have the energy and can focus on it. We pretty well have to schedule 'fun-time' into our diaries, otherwise we find the week has gone by and we 'just didn't get around to it'. So many other work scheduling, and family health issues with all parents that it can just go out of our thoughts.
Goodness, for those of you with children, I don't know how you manage a sex life in the first place - but then again you must have... 'cause you have children, teehee!
Glad I saw this thread because I have been avoiding my Bf like the plague. I just thought it was me. I have to say that I have also been really grumpy since starting IP.

Yeah, lol... grumpy and annoyed doesn't make for good sex... your time will come

I love this and it is so true, but as a mother of 3 boys obviously we found time somewhere. The trick is to make time, make it fun, and make it loud or dirty or kinky or whatever it takes for the two of you to have a good time and want to do it again and again and again. Okay need to leave now and find my hubby. &

Hahahah, I take it the boys are visiting Gramma's place fairly often .
I'm glad someone bumped this as I have been considering starting the same thread. DH is thinking I am finding it somewhere else! I have to just force myself and then it usually kicks in but I'm definitely not the initiator anymore.
Now I see what's happening... I'm not having problem with libido. It's actually increasing but my hormones were nil before I started this due to menopause so maybe something is reversing? I am also suddenly breaking out. Just wish my hubby was home more than two days a week.
Wow. I didn't realize what this thread was about, but I'm glad I clicked on it. I have never had a problem getting 'excited' before and last week me and the BF were messing around and I kept telling him "I'm just not stimulated enough, I don't have enough stimulation, I'm sorry" I felt so bad. Glad I can pin it to something. I still 'want' it, but it's definitely difficult to achieve once I have it.

I am in the same boat! and I didn't realize it was connected to the diet until I read these comments! I just can't get "into" it.... of course we still have it, pretty much nightly, but I never "achieve" and that actually frustrates him! He likes to make sure I am satisfied. Hopefully this improves as time goes on.
I'm with Kat and Ali... I had extremely low libido problems when I started this diet. I felt like I could live without sex forever, but now I'm well let's just say dreaming about it! LOL the long distance relationship made it rough, and when I saw him in TX on vacation I'm pretty sure I wore him out and he was like WHOA lol he's been with me since before I started so he was used to my low to average libido
