alright lets say u work out for a good amount of time and get your body nice lean and mean just the way u want it good muslces and everything....if you stop working out will all that go to fat if u continue to eat healthy or will you be able to maintain that look with good diet
 
Well eat healty, do light weight training, and some cardio but if you completly let yourself go you will just lose what you worked for.
 
Its an evolutionary disadvantage to have a lot of muscle mass. Muscle requires more calories consumed to maintain, and a lot of muscle will slow you down. for both reasons, the body will shed 'excessive' muscle mass over time if you stop lifting heavy weights completely.

you can still have a lean body through good diet and cardiovascular exercise, but it won't be a very muscular, defined body.
 
When you start to really get into it - You'll never want to quit. You will want to reach you final goal, and finally be pleased with your physique, but hell... I'll never really be pleased, I'm the type of guy that is never really pleased with my achievements... I always have to keep working harder and harder, so that one day maybe I can be. Meh... Thats just me.
 
Thats pretty much how most peopel feel.

Ive never thort,

'wow I look good today, I wont bother going to the gym any more.'
 
I can tell you from experience that exercising and eating right are a lifestyle that you need to incorporate for the rest of your life. If you choose not to exercise, you will gain weight and feel the difference. You get out of your body what you put into it. I have read some recent literature that suggests that today's children (under 18) may not outlive their parents due to lifestyle related diseases. So I guess my answer is no, if you stop exercising you will loose what you gain and you are likely to gain many health problems.
