After the LAV fat post, it is interesting with aging how

If you aren't 50, you have no business posting in this thread because you pretty much have no idea what you are talking about.

We'll see how all you youngsters do with your metabolism once you've breached 45 or so..(some earlier)... I noticed the increased accumulation of belly fat once I hit 40 and have to work to keep it off. Having a desk job and sitting on my @rse in meetings all day doesn't help.

I am very blessed to be the same, off season, weight I was as Captain of the Wrestling team. It has been increasingly difficult to maintain as I get older, but I am blessed with the genetics to support it as I've never, (knock on wood) had a weight problem.

I truly feel sorry for those who are also fighting the combination of genetics and the effects of aging.

Not sure if that is aimed at me or not, but I am way older than that.

Honu, to answer your question, I am the same weight now that I was when I graduated from high school and I have a 32" waist. A bit softer to be sure, but the same weight. This wasn't always the case until I experienced the "event" I posted earlier and learned how to eat right.

This.

I'll turn 52 in a few months, and I *really* miss ice cream. I have two choices: eat like I used to, or look like I used to. I choose the latter.

When my students ask me why I still run, I give a one-word answer: "cheeseburgers."

Smart man! Good on 'ya! I learned the hard way with a serious health issue, but at least I learned and was able to get everything under control.

Wasn't calling anyone out. Just making a statement of fact.

People are missing the topic.

OP asked why some people stay small framed, and why some just get bigger and bigger.

I've wondered the same thing for a long time. Some men just seem to grow skeletal mass almost all their lives. I notice it a lot on guys in their 50s and 60s who have huge arms and wrists, just big dudes in general. Look at the same guys 20-30 years ago and they were just normal size.

I'm 34 and still pretty much the same scrawny size I was at 21.

That would be a question that requires specialized knowledge to answer. I'm just spit-balling here but Skeletal Remodeling would be my guess as your bones like every other part of your body are undergoing some type of change. For example if you gain weight your bone cells respond in their constant remodeling process by building up to handle the load.

Some say 30 is the magic number, all I developed by that time was skin cancer. I still fit the BDUs I was issued 16 years ago when I was 18.

I'll be happy enough if I get there.

I am well past 50, so I'll comment.

There are two important rules for living a long life, keep moving and keep breathing. Sometimes it is difficult to follow both rules when you are dealing with injuries incurred at a much younger age.
