There are a lot of factors to this. Especially if exercise was part of your routine to lose weight.
I put on weight when exercising (not all muscle, my hunger over compensated for the change in calorie use) and started noticing it was easier to talk to people, especially women.
Sure exercising might help with appearance a bit, but it wasn't drastic for. What it does help with is relieving stress, building confidence, and day to day energy, all of these changes are generally attractive and make you more approachable.
You're also probably feeling happy about losing the weight. People like being around happy people, it make them happier too, so all around a good thing!
I threw out my back walking up stairs. Not running, not doing that quick little hopping thing you do on stair sometimes... walking. Put my right foot down and then my back went "yeah, enough existing today".
I had probably been over-exercising when working out, but boy that smarted.
thanks for using Leebra!
