I'm returning to 3FCs after a long hiatus. In 2003, I got down to 283. I had been at 3FCs for a while at that point and figured everything was going good. Then, a job change and other life stresses took over and I strayed away from checking in here.

Then, I sort of gradually fell back into old ways. Habits that are formed over a lifetime and very hard to break and you can fall back into the same old patterns very easily.

In 2007, I was once again back up to nearly 450 pounds. Things such as putting on my shoes and walking up a flight of stairs was very difficult. I knew if I didn't change soon, I might not live to see my 40th birthday.

I'm now down to 318 and I know that I need the support of other people who are on this same life transformation. I came back to 3FCs and I hope to be here for the long haul again!

Wish you luck fellow New Englander!

Good for you that you decided to a healthy lifestyle. It's so easy (I know from experience) to fall off the wagon and just stay off.

With the weather getting better you can do a lot of outdoor activities!

Welcome back, Matt! Down to 318 from 450 is a fantastic achievement! You'll be back at 283 before you know it! Good luck!
