[quote=Anonymous]I'm the 15:04 poster - I look beefier now than I did when I started lifting because 14-15 years have gone by. In that 14 years, I've turned 35, 40 and 45 and my metabolism has dropped a bit so I'm heavier now by about 15 lbs. My thyroid isn't functioning like it did in my 30's and I haven't medicated yet. I also had a baby at 36 - after that, I went from having a 4-pack to having some definition on the sides but very little elsewhere. I'm running 1,100 miles a year instead of maybe 1,500. I definitely look better at 45 than I would if I didn't lift. I definitely look better than most of the same-age people I know and many of the younger folks. But I don't look as good as I did when I was 35 and lifting the same, pre-baby, pre-metabolism drops. And I'm not willing to diet like crazy to get back to my 35-year-old body, even if I could.[/quote]
