Losing weight: more difficult as you get older

Weight loss can be extremely frustrating, especially when you get older. Maybe you have children who eat whatever they want and are stick skinny, while you are dieting, cutting back the calories and seeing no results. Or, it could be that your 25-year-old daughter and you are doing the same diet and she is losing lots of weight and you aren’t. Everyone is praising her figure and not yours. Why is it that weight loss is hard for you? It isn’t that you are not trying. You are not alone.

Weight loss is more than just counting calories. It has a lot to do with your age, body type, and genetics. Most specifically though, as you get older it is definitely harder to lose those added pounds. Your metabolism has decreased and you are most likely less active. Unfortunately for most women, menopause can cause them to suddenly gain weight.

Also, keep in mind that your body has a set point in weight no matter how much you eat that it clings to. So, that does influence your weight when it comes to your diet and weight loss goals. What is important is to stay positive and healthy by eating well and remaining active.
