Is it just me or does anyone notice that it gets harder to lose weight as you get older? I'm not talking about older as in your forties. I am 27 and I notice it is MUCH harder to lose weight than it was when I was 25. Doing the same things I used to do to lose weight quickly just do not work. I've been on a diet for two weeks and lost ONE pound. Two years ago, doing the same thing, I would have lost at least 5!
Is this my imagination or does your body change at 27??

I've always read that your metabolism starts a downward spiral at the age of 20.

Re: Age and Weight Loss
I definitely agree with this. I found that in my early-mid-20's, no problem losing weight, eating a lot more of things I wanted & then starting in later 20's & early 30's, its much rougher losing weight, staying fit.

Re: Age and Weight Loss
i have been going through the same thing. i'm 25 now, and in trying to lose weight, i've had weeks of thinking that my body was weight-loss resistant. it's very weird. when i moved to phase two of south beach, i didn't lose an ounce in like 6 weeks, even though as a matter of calories, i was not eating much. same thing happened when i just started working out a couple of times a week and cutting out junk food. seems like whatever i do maintains my weight unless it's drastic. it's very discouraging.

Re: Age and Weight Loss
27 must be the age! I gained so much weight when I was 27, and now at 28 it is soooooooooo hard to lose it. I am losing it, but slowly, good luck to you.

Re: Age and Weight Loss
Just wait until 35. I work so hard just to maintain any weight loss- forget about what I HAD to do to lose weight. It was insane- working out 6 days a week and eating practically nothing fun at all for 3 months- it was torture.
