Yes, I had a high metabolism (the stuff of legend as well: I have frightened small children at all-you-can-eat buffets) and had been around 155-160 lbs. since high school. I only exercised for a couple of years in university (I should have kept that up).
Two years into my 30s and BAM! 185 lbs.?! I lost about 10 lbs. in less than a month simply by cutting out crap food.
The average sedentary person begins to lose muscle mass after the age of 30. Our metabolism slows down as a natural process of aging.
