You can be in your 20’s and be at a healthy weight but still be very unhealthy. You can still have a heart attack. It’s not just about losing weight..it’s about living a healthy lifestyle. Also, weight melted right off me too when I was in 20’s..not so much now that I’m 40. I also think my choices that I made when I was in my 20’s caught up to me now that I’m older. Well that mixed with some hormone issues. I do tend to eat some convenience foods but I tried to get in the habit of doing some meal preparation on Sundays so I have some healthier go to options especially during the week with work. What I learned especially for me on my journey towards better health is that no matter what diet you are following or what lifestyle changes you are making you have to eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight. Unfortunately for me that doesn’t include McDonald’s because I’m trying to instill healthier choices in myself. I’m not perfect and do give into cravings for the unhealthy stuff..but I go by progress not perfection. Yesterday I had 1/2 cup of ice cream at 9 but I tracked the calories and won’t eat it again this week. Moderation is key for me. I also have to pay attention to sodium. If I eat a can of soup for dinner or a lean cuisine -I’ll weigh 3 more pounds tomorrow morning. Everyone is different. Marilyn, you are doing good. Keep going. It’s not easy but our bodies are worth trying to save. I wrote an apology letter to my body for feeding it crap. It helped.
