For The Young, Do It While You're Young

As you get older your body is unable to work as efficiently as the way it used to. No matter how active you try to be in maintaining who you were, who you are may catch up with you. You may have an injury when you're older that you may not have got had you been younger. This injury may leed you to not being able to be so active. If you are not active, then you can't burn as many calories which means you will have a harder time losing weight.

I'm not saying you can't lose weight in a good way as you get older, however I'm noting that it can be an uphill climb. So if you're young, make the most of the opportunity to be fit and healthy. There are young people out there making it happen all the time. Granted they have a little help but they themselves are a key factor in how successful they are. The young actors in the recently announced 2009 Oscar-winning Best Picture 'Slumdog Millionaire' are just one example.

So for all the young, do it while you're young. I know I am.
