Well considering you've answered all the Math for me........ I guess I don't know - no really I think there should be a poll to find out if anyone else suffers from this phenomenum - maybe there is some truth then to the belief that fat women are happy women???????

spppppppputtttttttttttttters ALL over

Hmmmm, maybe I shouldn't go here!

Yep, I'm gonna.

You know, semen is quite salty, I think it may be the extra salt. Extra salt always makes me gain a few pounds.

2 pounds......hmmmmmmmmmmmm

There aren't any "missing" or "lost" toys after these encounters are there? Like something that could be seen on an Xray??

JFF

This is what I think. Try having se* 3 times in a row and see if the weight gain is consistant. It is possible that once a week isn't enough and it is causing you to retain water- I don't believe that it is a true weight gain. Also, are you on induction? Maybe you are getting too many carbs in those flavored lubes ( just kidding )

Sometimes a little weight gain is just plain worth it. You guys just crack me up (partly because I was already thinking what I saw in the next post I read).

OMG, I'm laughing out loud, alone, in front of the computer--pathetic but fun

Ya know, with all the water we LCers are drinking, you shouldn't make us laugh so much--I gotta go potty

I say, if he's any good, he's worth the 2 pounds!

Seriously, I think it's a weird coincidence and that you should just try to ignore it, don't weigh yourself the next morning.

(okay, so I just KNOW I'll be weighing myself the next 'morning after' )

Too funny!

You guys are great

oh ill just have to experiment!!! all i can say is LUCKY girl sex/chocolate which would u prefer??? let the poll begin!! ENJOY urself only prob mayb at end of week up by quite few pounds!! BUT hey well worth it id say!!! have a lovely day!!! lv sa xxx

Well, here I sit with my coffee, just having read all 3 pages. I have successfully managed not to spit the coffee on my screen while laughing. (And I have to say, the one at the top of page 3 was a REAL challenge).

I have some thoughts:

It seems like you are partly humorous about this and partly serious. For the serious part, here's some ideas.

CHALLENGE THIS, especially if it affects your sex life. Each time, do things differently. Such as:

OMG, LOL, how can I say this? Take none of the fluids into your body permanently. Condoms, tissues, ya know...

Eat NO SALT that day, NO alcohol, and REALLY burn up the calories that night.

Ok, if you eat no salt, take in no fluids, and STILL gain, then the next time, try eating VERY low cal and carb one day, followed by a fun night. I mean, eggs, salads, a light soup, NO EATING AFTER 6PM. Drink a ton of water that day.

OK, if you STILL gain weight that time, then I , would explore a psychological reason. Sounds heavy, but you would not believe the things the body can do.

One last thing. Are you sure you're not actually BUILDING MUSCLE? (ROFLMBO) I mean, you KNOW that muscle weighs 9 times that of fat right? Maybe you're just getting such good workouts that you're SHRINKING and firming???

'nuff said :-)

Welp, I guess that's why the good doctor said no mashed potatoes were allowed on this WOE.

Thank you for all your hard research.LOL

I will try to watch the salt intake for dinner.We will see what happend. Maybe I will even keep you all posted :-)

I will NEVER eat POTATOS again..... THANKS alot Divina....OMG
ROFLMAO

LMAO. I think I have the opposite problem. DH and I have always been very active at bedtime - until the last 6 weeks. We're starting a business and haven't had a day off since mid January. We're over tired and very stressed. Now we're down to twice a week and my weight is creepng up with no diet change. I'm not sleeping nearly as well either.

I always sleep better after sex, so that's not a surprise. It really does relieve stress. I wonder if the activity was also helping with the weight, reving up my metabolism so I burned more calories at night. I'm on maintenance (since October) and eat enough for two but only started gaining this past month. I'm up to 150 as of today. Never wanted to see that "5" in the middle again. Didn't gain through the holidays but take away my sex and look what happens.

Wait, maybe I'm seeing a weight gain from the sex that I couldn't see before because we had it almost every night. AHHH! Guess it can go either way. (Not me, just the cause of the weight gain.)

I needed a thread like this. Great lunch reading. Now back to work!
