How come I wasn't ever told when you get older it get's harder to loose weight? I'm working my butt off, well this is only my second week back at the gym (lol)! I would have to say eating healthy is hard for me. Made someone can give me some sugg. I'd be open to anything...

Hello shesmiles, and welcome to Ft. I am new here too and just started back to the gym last week.

I know what you mean about getting older. I want to know why guys lose hair where they want it (hairline) and we get hair where we don't (nose/ear). I am not impressed! :)

I don't really have any suggestions, except to keep up your work at the gym and eventually it will pay off. I'm not sure how old you are but I know someone who just turned 50 recently and she's been going to the gym and she is looking great! So it will happen.

Welcome to freetrainers shesmiles.
Well, at 31 (not old) our metabolism starts slowing down as muscle tends to fade away! How depressing is that?
By getting back into the gym you are going to devlop the lean stuff (muscle) and in turn speed up the metabolism.
Also if you eat frequently (not when your hungry) you will keeping your metabolism up and steady. try eating about every 2-3 hours, consisting of 3 meals and 2 snacks. This will benefit you by burning calories.

Ahhh, life's grand. When you turn 40, your hair starts to fall, and starts growing out of your nose and ears, but it gets better. When you turn 50, they want to probe this, probe that, stick a cam here, a cam there, oh, never mind:cool:
