Why am i staying the same weight?

Post Reply New Topic

I figured it out.

Well, you're 20 years old, so you still have great metabolism! When I was 20 I could eat anything, carbs carbs carbs all the live long day, it didn't make me fatter. Enjoy it while you can!

I'm nearly 50 and my weight is nearly ideal for my height--115 lbs and 5' 2" tall.

I eat 3 meals a day and snack on ice cream and other stuff--though I do order small ice cream cones and sundaes--the portions served around here for larger sizes are often ridiculous.

I do get a bit of exercise--we have a big yard and I do a lot of gardening--this year the big project was removing a 2 ft tree stump--with an ax. I found that it gets exponentially harder has the tree gets bigger--the wood of a big maple is extremely dense. Anyway, the wife had me stop when I removed everything to about 8" below the soil line. I also learned to throw darts this year--it is really hard to be accurate after swinging an ax for an hour. Anyway, I recently noticed my biceps are as big as they have ever been...

I've always had this problem with high metabolism, can't seem to gain weight. I'm 32 now.

Your body tries to stay at it's settled weight.
