Josh... you're just getting old. Accept it. 
So just sit down and get fat with the rest of us.

Stick to your guns, Josh. One is NEVER too old to be fit and healthy. God gave us our bodies and he expects us to c take are of them.
Decrease in food intake will not necessarily get you the results you want. It depends very much on what you are eating. Getting back to weightlifting is an excellent idea and will get you more quickly to your goals.
Half hour, three times a week. Do a full body workout each time. I don't know if you're going to a gym or if you have equipment at home. I can be of help here. I use to be a certified personal trainer and I am still active at the gym. After some injuries, I'm getting back into the full swing of things again.

26 is so old, especially when you are a Christian.
When you are a woman, who is 25 and unmarried, panic sets in, and you are officially over the hill at 30.

I am 26 and already am noticing that I cannot just eat whatever I want to. My pants are beginning to fit tighter and I notice I am developing love handles.
So for the first time in my life I need to watch what I eat. I guess the problem is, I haven't been watching what I eat in the first place even if my metabolism was faster at the time. Gluttony is not offensive until it affects my personal appearance. If only it was offensive for the sole fact that it is a transgression of God's law.
It is advised that I refrain from running since I have had two surgeries on my right knee. When I was going through physical therapy, my trainer had me use the stationary bike that showed your current pulse and heart rate as you exercised. He told me to ride steady for, I think it was, 40 seconds. Then for ten seconds ride as fast as you possible can. He had me repeat this for 20 minutes. Let me tell you, I think I must have lost 20 pounds during those mere 20 minutes, I was drenched!
I suppose if I did that daily I would be in good shape.
I can tell if I don't act now, I am going to have one of those dunlap bellies by the time I am thirty!

Each morning: 50 pushups, 15 pullups with leg lifts over your head at the top of each pullup, 25 dips, and a pint of ice-cream each day.
Works for me. :bigsmile:
I second the full body workout advice. You don't need weights to tone up, but they help if you don't abuse them (like focusing only on certain muscle groups). Muscle mass burns calories better aerobics, but both are important.
I had a brother-in-law who was an ultra-marathoner. No matter how far he ran, he couldn't lose his belly until he started a form of calisthenics. He looks pretty good these days for a 50 year old.

Very important, I think.
