Hear, hear!

I remember reading once about how women's bodies, especially, change composition over time EVEN IF THEY REMAIN AT THE SAME WEIGHT THEIR ENTIRE ADULT LIFE. I.E. they will convert what used to be lean muscle mass into fat mass and that is what we call middle-age spread so that clothes don't fit the same way they used to even though the scale keeps giving the same number.

The ONLY way to prevent this from happening is exercise--specifically weight training to maintain strength, prevent loss of bone density AND that lean muscle mass which in turn controls how much fat is metabolized in the body.
