When I first joined 3FC, I was in the 20-somethings group. Now that I'm ready to get back on the weight-loss saddle, I'm a 30-something.

I have gained back 33 pounds from my lowest weight 2 years ago. Talk about nauseating.

So, disgusted but determined - I'm back.

I love 3FC and the ladies (& men) here were a HUGE part of my weight loss success last time.

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome back! I am back recently for the millionth time! We're the same height, and about the same weight...we can do this!

I also joined 3FC back in 2005 and was active in the 20-somethings forum. I'd bet we've crossed paths here before! Now back and 30-something too!

Welcome back!!!

I too am back for what seems like the millionth time as well. I have gained back almost half of what I had already lost so I am pretty ashamed of myself and need to get my butt in gear to get rid of all this ridiculous fat! I am also around 5'6" but have about 30 more pounds to lose...I hope we can all be a great support system for each other and I wish you all luck with your loss!

I'm back too and now as a 30 something!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

Welcome back, I have also recently moved to the 30's and seem to do better when i am active on this site after a big gain in the last 6 months i too hav decided enough is enough..

lets all get through this for the millionth time together and this time next year we shall be maintaining here's to 2013

Well it's been a few days since I have checked in here...how are you all doing? I think my body was so used to junk from the past few months that it is going into a bit of shock with all the new vitamins and good stuff in the food I am eating now. Can't sleep and my mind is going a mile a minute! Any of you experience the same reaction when re-starting a healthy eating plan?

Minoja, hopefully it'll balance out, its probably the focus on the weightloss mindset, maybe you could go for a walk in the evening, it could take your mind off it, although i think that i was the same Tues and Wed and i'm balancing out now, my scales is moving also so i recon my poor body is getting such a shock when i give it the simple things like lots of water..

1st weekend in since December so looking forward to not being hungover and go for a few walks and stuff..

Thanks curlysue...sometimes I feel like I can't get enough water and other times I feel like I have to force it down but I know it's a crucial element to losing this weight.

Hey Julz! I've got a similar story. Join the 90 Day Exercise Challenge - it's great for accountability!

I was a former 20 something too and have returned after a 43 pound gain from my lowest weight. It is awful how that weight creeps up on you. It is so hard to maintain and always practice good eating and exercise habits. I love this site. It is always encouraging.

I have also been here for a very long time - on and off. I only have 6 months left as a 30-something and I am hoping to make the most of it.
