I'm 37 and the only difference from losing weight now and in my 20's is I'm doing it in a healthier way, eating and exercising more. Back then, I ate way less when losing weight and didn't have healthy habits so that would be the reason it came off so fast.0

To answer your question that would be a no. I started my lifestyle change when I was 35! It came right off. I feel and look way better than in my 20's0

Age does change your metabolism a but but at 33 it is in no way impossible. I think the challange comes from having more responsibilities that take your energy. Make sure you are a priority and do what needs to be done!0

I think it is mostly diet, I am over 50 and have lost a lot since January, because of diet, I tried for years through exercise alone and it never worked well enough, you need both. The tools on here are great to help you figure things out.0

The only thing that I've seen is harder for losing weight at a later age (started at 45 here) is recovery time from cardio and lifting weights is longer, making the food part MUCH more important.0

Nope, it's not. It's a muscle mass thing. If you havn't been exericsing (as in resistance, a walk in the park won't work), you have lost muscle mass and your metabolism doesnt go as fast because of this. We lose muscle mass as we age yes, but it's not age, it's lack of use. Muscle mass is easily retained and gained at ANY AGE, if you put for the effort. So...lift heavy.0
