Sounds like a side-effect. I never took hormone replacement. When I went through menopause 20 years ago it was a no-no for women with any risk of heart disease (my father died of a heart attack at 48). Boy did I have the most horrendous hot flashes.

I was just thinking yesterday that it was about time to put the flannel sheets on!

I don't think it is the calorie restriction. Maybe a combination of Tirzepatide and menopause (but I am taking hormone replacement)

The birthday party last night was really fun and quite elaborate (at the clubhouse). There were probably about 100 people there. We expected just a ****tail hour but there was that plus a full dinner (sliders, salads and sushi). The husband made a short but very touching toast to his wife who was turning 60. Their 2 daughters and a son-in-law were here for the party too. She was completely surprised. Nice night.
And we stayed up past 11, so we were able to sleep until 6:15 this morning. Maybe the time shift won't be so bad...
Today we may go to the beach club, then probably do leftovers. DH is golfing with a friend who is just starting to play at 4:30. Easier to get out on the course if you don't feel you are holding anyone up.
The bus leaves as usual on Sunday at 7:30 so I better get changed. Have a successful Sunday!

I like to snuggle under warm blankets too so I use the AC to drop the temperature quite a bit at night here.

Do you think it may be just the calorie restriction affecting libido vs the medication? I haven't noticed any difference. I just googled it and it sounds like there is no definitive research about that yet. Maybe it differs from person to person just as side-effects do?

A girl! So exciting, but agree that it is weird these days for a doctor to get it wrong at first.

So you are going to wait for the backordered one at this point? I used to have two full refrigerators and had both freezers full. I felt like I never really knew what was in there and periodically had to throw out stuff that was frozen for too long so eventually gravitated to just having one. Though I do prefer a sizeable one in a side-by-side refrigerator. The drawers in the French door refrigerators (we have one here) do not seem to allow for efficient freezer use.

Nice that the scale cooperated. DH hadn't weighed in a long time because he said he would just measure by his clothes. I commented that his shirts seemed a little bit roomier but he didn't agree. He finally did stand on the scale and then asked if it was working properly because he was 6.5 pounds less than he thought he was (it works fine).

I had to look up who Varuca Salt was. Sustaining weight loss over a long period is tough especially if you have to work at it. It just gets tiresome after a while. You do look pretty fit in that Halloween picture so maybe you don't need to drop all of that 35?
