Greetings everyone!
I'm new to the 3FC community, and pretty excited about how supportive everyone is . I've been looking for a community that is respectful of one another, mature and generally wants to help, and I believe I've finally found what I have been looking for!

My names Matt and I'm a 21 year old male, (just turned may 29th), I'm 6'3' and weigh about 285-300 pounds.
I've been a gamer my entire life and have had very bad eating and drinking habits. I pretty much eat anything I can get my hands on (much like a toddler ;P) and drink soda's constantly! I also have a really hard time getting out... I tend to be anti-social and can lock myself away in my room and literally not leave my room/house for days or weeks... My family often come and check on me to see if I'm still alive -_-

I want to lose weight, get a job, and make friends... And give it my all to become more social. I do desire to have children and at the rate I'm going it just does not look like its gonna happen... Above all of that however I want to be healthy... My mother has diabetes and we both worry because I drink so much soda that I'll also become diabetic some day in the future...

I have however made steps to change my life around and would love support
and guidance from anyone who's willing to give it

Thank you for your time and it is very nice to meet you all !

Hi . . . . . . glad you found us.

I'm a type II diabetic and suggest that the first thing you need to do is get rid of the soda habit -- at least switch to a diet version -- secondly, as an interim step toward getting more active; take a look at the newer interactive and relatively health-oriented modules now available for most of the popular gaming platforms. I have Wii and just Wii Fit and Wii Sports and definitely want to get Dance Dance Revolution.

Good Luck on your journey . . .

Thank you very much yeah I definitely would like to get some more active games such as those, I've been looking into getting a dance dance game for a while now.

I have a quick question for anyone who knows... Is there a site or a guide someplace that could tell me about what I should weigh at 6'3' and keep in mind I've got a fairly strong build without even working out... I was just born big I guess you could say... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It really depends on your body type. My ex was 6'4" and at his high school prime was about 250. When I married him, he was 6'5", 270 lbs and in great form. But, he was built like a linebacker. Some other guys close to his height only weighed 190 and were pushing the weight barrier.

Maybe you should see a trainer or a Dr. to get a handle on it. That way you'll have a reasonable goal to attain.

Good luck and keep coming back. You can find the support you need here.
