Age is a big factor. Some of us used to lose five pounds in a week...effortlessly. Now, those same people feel that losing 5 pounds in a month is a HUGE success. You are obviously capable of gaining weight, hence the need to lose it. So, begin programming yourself to eat healthy and exercise regularly. Otherwise, when you get older and the struggle to keep the weight off begins, you will have a hard time because you are so used to it coming off effortlessly.
