MedHelp Member's Question

Weight Gain and Lack of Sexual Drive

by mkintz, Nov 09, 2009 12:55PM

I have not changed anything in my diet or activity over the past year, and yet I have put on 25 lbs and can't seem to do ANYTHING to take it off. I even increased my exercise routine.

Also, I used to be Ms. Sex Drive, but I don't seem to have ANY interest at all any more. Help!!!
