Is it easier to lose weight when you are young?

I'm 18, and weigh about 250 lbs, i plan on losing about 50-60 lbs, i'm working out with my girlfriends brother who is about 320 lbs, he is 26 years old, he loses weight slowly, while i in the begining lost alot, do you lose weight faster when you're young?

Yes, it is a medical fact that metabolism tends to slow as you age. However, I think 26 is still very young. I don't see that really being a big issue unless he has something medically wrong. Perhaps he's just not being strict with his diet. A good workout won't erase the damge done by continually poor eating habits.
