[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midlife fat isn’t magical.  I’ve heard that excuse from so many of my clients.  It’s fat.  It will go away if you change the way you eat and the way you move.  I’m 55. I’m the same weight I was at 16. The only time I gained was during pregnancy.  I have had to change the way I eat as I’ve aged.  People who stay fit and healthy through middle age and beyond are typically health conscious and not fooled by ridiculous fad dieting. [/quote]

Yep.  51 and still same weight since my 20s.  And I gained 45-50 pounds with each of my pregnancies.  I worked to get that weight off as quick as possible and made sure I had taken it off before getting pregnant again.

I do not have a fast metabolism.  I can gain weight easily so I have always worked out very consistently and eat healthy during the week, cheating and indulging more on the weekends.  I never sent myself the cake or the bread, etc.  But I eat in moderation and when I start to fluff up slightly I immediately clean up eating habits.

I never weigh myself.  Once a year at the doctors.  It’s always within 1-2 pounds.[/quote]
