Making yourself the hottest man she can get doesn't mean she's going to get you ... she has to come to you. Getting near enough to make her hot for you and reach out to you is great, I think, but you need watch for signs. If she seems flooded/overwhelmed, back off and keep working on yourself.
Always keep making yourself the man you want to have been. She won't believe your changes are permanent until they've lasted for a while, so don't lose hope/prayer.
Tips for losing weight found on Mens' Health: - exercise before eating for at least 2 min. Revs up the metabolism - exercise for at least 2 min when you wake up - try to lift a couple weights at home every few days for a few minutes at least (20-40lbs?)
RE intimacy, who knows. I think back to the comment about other men. Why would she tell you that all horny like unless she was hinting at what she wants you to become more like. It could also be MLC or who knows, so be patient.
