Hi All,
Heard an interesting health fact on the radio this morning. It has
been found that people in general tend to gain most weight between ages
of 28 - 34 years of age. It's a lifelong battle and age never was a
factor to me. Anyone out there find the same thing?
Have a nice one.

I heard the same thing this morning from Good Morning America, but
the ages where between 25 and 34.

I heard it as 25 - 34 also. They also said it may be due to people
these ages starting to live on their own and start cooking for
themselves. Also these people start working at these ages and many
have sedentary (sp?) jobs.

I've known quite a few people to whom this happened; it usually did
*not* correspond with a significant change in lifestyle. I think it's
just that one's metabolism tends to slow down as one gets older. Think
about how much energy most little kids have! It's not a gradual thing;
there are times when there's a big change in a short time.

| 570.5 | help! I'm old and fat! | PROXY::SOULARD | F*L*O*R*I*D*A | Wed Apr 25 1990 13:48 | 28 |
This is true!!! I got married at 24, weight was 100 lbs. When I was
25, my weight went up to 104. When I was 26, my weight went up to
108/110 (my clothes still fit, and I started to lose interest in
exercise) Now I am 30 and weigh 135, and at 5'2 1/2" that really is
too fat for me! When I was 27 & 28, I did not exercise much at all. I
think that is my problem. I went to a health club, and was down to 122
last spring, but quit because it was becoming too expensive. Now I
have been exercising regularly (at least 4 times/week) doing 1/2 hour
of toning and 1/2 of aerobics in the morning since Feb. I just changed
to Jane Fonda's new workout (beginners) this past Saturday. I -STILL-
weigh 135! Oh, eating--- I am trying very hard, but my weakness is
MOST definately chocolate - m&m's in particular. Otherwise I am doing
okay, eating fruits, veges and chicken cooked in low sodium broth and
spices. To make a long story short, I can not imagine myself losing
any weight, it's been 2 months, shouldn't I have at least lost 5 or 10
lbs???? I want to look good this summer.
p.s. I hate exercising, but I faithfully get up at 5:30 a.m. Monday
thru Friday to do Jane Fonda's workout because I never feel like
exercising when I get home from work. (I think I must be laxy...) I am
at the point now, that I am no longer going to eat after 4 p.m. (that
is what I do on weekends)
I guess age does matter......my goal was to be 110 (firm and toned) by
June! ---

| 570.6 | Some help on the Chocolate problem | REORG::AITEL | Never eat a barracuda over 3 lbs. | Wed Apr 25 1990 16:45 | 9 |
Doreen, if you crave chocolate, those diet hot chocolate packets can
help - they are only 50 calories while the M&Ms are something like
250? anyhow, they also are hot and give you some liquid and fill
you up much more than the M&Ms will, and you don't feel sick after
drinking them the way you do (for several reasons) after the candy.
Good luck,
Louise
