Improvements in the quality of sexual life were directly related to weight loss and seemed to reach their maximum at about 12 percent weight loss.

They'll tell us about simple mechanical difficulty.

You reap a lot of benefit from a moderate weight loss of 10 percent. It's a wonderful message. You don't have to reach some ideal weight to be healthy and happy.

However, many times the craving passes only temporarily.

I would have expected that it would have required a larger weight loss for people to be able to experience these improvements.

That prevalence dropped to 26.4 percent at one year and remained stable. Not wanting to be seen undressed went from 62.7 percent to 34.3 percent.
