Re: metabolism after 35?
I definitely think mine is slower. I am 38 now. I do think it started around 35.

Re: metabolism after 35?
I'm 36, and my metabolism is chugging right along 
It's got to be due to exercising and lifting weights for so many years.......

I think that is key. Your metabolism decreases about 10 calories a year after 30-but only if you don't exercise, etc.

Re: metabolism after 35?
Well, I exercise and have been exercising regularly since I was about 23 (I'm now 39), and my metabolism absolutely slowed down around 36 or so.
I really have to watch what I eat now. Over the Thanksgiving holiday period, I seem to have gained 2 lbs., and I exercised Wednesday, Friday, and went for a really good hike on Saturday. I just don't burn calories as quickly as I used to, even with weight lifting.

Re: metabolism after 35?
It all has to do with muscle mass. When you get older, you loose muscle mass from lack of exercise. If you are weight training regularly, your metablolism should be getting faster, or at the very least, staying the same.
Eat enough protein per day to keep the muscle on.
