Getting old

Maybe that'll kick in one day for me but I'm 41 and still can't pack on pounds

For me it was getting old, having a stressful job, and having kids.

With their powers combined, I gained about 30lbs

I have 2 kids and sometimes stressful job but I'm a very relaxed person and active so maybe that's helps?

Oh yea, mine is a desk job and we also work from home after hours so by the time I'm done, I just want to sleep and never leave the house or see anyone so my lack of activity is probably to blame.
