When did you notice you were gaining weight? Age 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, etc.?

I noticed it in my late 30's and then it seem to accelerate to the point where I weigh 600 pounds now.
 
Were you the guy in that pic with no head :D Anyway when you get into your mid thirties your metabolism slows down. As you get a little on you dont need as many calories ,
for me I found booze, pasta, bread, really packed on the pounds. I also got married and had kids so I didnt have time to work out like I used to.

25, 35, 45, 55 and I've been dieting at 35, 45, 55. Constant battle.
 
I started out as a chubby kid and kept going. In my twenties I gleefully anticipated how all my thin friends would start getting fatter as they approached middle age, thinking they'd catch up to me. Except as they got fatter, so did I. Gulldammit!
 
If you are serious about weighing 600 lbs, you need help. Immediately. I'm not being judgmental, just stating a fact. See your doctor and explore options such as gastric bypass ASAP.


undergoing surgery aka going under the knife isn't an easy decision, buddy.
 
Mid 40s for me. But now I'm in my early 50's my weight has been stable. When I go on vacation is when I pack it on and slowly lose it when I come home.
 
I'm in my 40's, no matter how much junk food I eat I never seem to get fat
 
^^^^ try exercising more, you fattie :p
 
Maybe when we're younger we don't care much about food, we just want to party. As we get older food becomes the party...:eyebrows:
Those carbs are addictive...
 
When you get older your metabolism slows down and coupled with you are not as active, Just be careful of your food intake. High Fiber is recommended at this stage.
 
Typo Alert: I weigh 200 pounds. Typo due to fat thumb and tiny keys.The general pattern seems to be that we do add on pounds as we age.
 
Mall food got me. When I was about 30 the easiest accessible food during the work week was mall food. Breakfast and lunch 6 days a week.

About 10 years ago I stopped eating mall food and lost all the weight.

I've come to realize that restaurants have zero incentive to care about your weight or use healthy ingredients.
