I've read something about how all girls/women gain weight in their early 20s. Is this necessarily true for everyone? Cos I just turned 2 1/2 months ago...

i think "don't believe everything you read" applies to this.

*bump*

Come on, there must be lots of people over 20 on this board!

i think i gained weight after 21 but i also went through a really hard time in my life around then (my dad died) and i pretty much quit exericising for about 3 years. i also started dating my boyfriend who loves to do take out, so i would attribute the weight gain more to those things than some biological alarm going off once i hit twenty. one thing i have noticed is it is a lot harder to lose weight now that i'm older than it was when i was a teenager. i'm not happy about this at all.

no hard and fast rules apply to every human being.
