For those 25+ when did your metabolism start to slow down? I've

I managed to be a 120 lbs dyel until 19 despite consistently eating more than my 300 lbs mother and her husband combined while also chugging 1 liter of soda per day. This was also in spite of a sedentary lifestyle.

Sometime around 19-20 my metabolism went through the floor and I started gaining fat. At 23 I was a 220 lbs fatass at 5'10 when I decided to change my lifestyle.

Dropped soda, cut fast food, started running, hit the gym. Sitting at a cool 170 lbs right now at 25 yrs old. Always getting remarks from old family and friends about how much better I look with some muscle. Wife wants me to go into bearmode, but Im not sure how I feel about putting fat back on. Overall, feelsgoodman.

Just put some willpower in and change up your lifestyle. Take this as your body's warning now, because the more you slide, the harder it'll get.

Think trying to manage it with just diet would be OK? I'm pretty lean like I've got muscle but it's starting to go under a layer of fat especially in my stomach and pecs. I don't drink much soda, 3 cans a week pretty consistently and maybe 5-10 beers a week. My biggest thing is honestly milk. I fucking love milk, I drink 2 or 3 gallons a week. If I cut out the soda and cut down to maybe a gallon of milk a week that'd be like 3k calories less. I don't really have much time to exercise more at the moment or in the conceivable future as I'm working 40 hours a week on top of being a full time student.

I'm sure mine has slowed down somewhat. I have somewhat "fast" metabolism. My weight has been practically stable for years and years nearly imprevious to whatever I might be eating and such.

I've noticed that I peaked at around 165 as a Sprinter Athlete back in HS (2003). Afterwards, I went to RIT and I didn't stay too long in the athletics after my father died in an accident. My weight went down to 140-145 on pretty much a rountine basis.

It got up to 150-160ish when I was married and am recently divorced as of recent (last summer) and I've noticed that my weight would drop to 140ish.

Started SL little over two months ago and my weight has stabilized and climbed back up to 150.

In the end - it basically comes down to two things...

Diet
Level of Physical Activity

Nothing else is an excuse - period.

Just hit 30, had a short spell (3-6 months of travelling and gorging, no training, then injuries due to immediately cutting and jumping into competition after travels etc) wherein I gained lots of weight and had a slightly harder time getting my weight back to its normal range. However it's back to what it used to be now, absolutely no signs of it slowing down at the moment. Once again I now drop weight like a brick if I don't pay attention.

As long as you expend more than you consume, you will lose weight. That's the beauty of thermodynamics.

Honestly tho, I'd recommend at least trying to fit in something. Even if it's just going for a 30 min run, doing push ups, swinging through the uni gym for some quick squats or bench... every little bit helps. You'll drop the weight faster and look better for it.
