good question lol

Smarts has nothing to do with it Cher! Every year after 30 we start to lose muscle and thus our metabolism slows down (unless we do strength training to rebuild lost muscle). What most people don't realize is that at that point of your life you actually have to become more active each year, but in reality it's usually the opposite because you're too busy living life - taking care of everybody else first - and not focusing on yourself. And it gets worse, after age 60 metabolism slows down even more. The reality is if you don't become more active than you have to eat less to counteract this natural aging process which SUCKS!!! Wish I had known this more than a few years ago LOL!!! Keep at it Cher - it sounds like you're winning! Just remember The Tortoise and The Hare - slow and steady wins the race!!!
