TITLE: Starting My Journey
POST: Hey guys! I've been quite the lurk for a while and have decided to make my first post. Two ears ago I used to volleyball and was in great shape, but I noticed till now. My mom used to call me obese even though I wasn't but I believed her. I quit my sport because I thought I was never good enough. Through the past two years I've gained 50 pounds. This month I was looking at some old photos and realized I just had a really bad self image. So this week I began my weight loss journey. I've already lost 4.4 pounds since this Monday and I'm feeling great. Hopefully I can't get back to my original weight. If anyone else is doing the Paleo diet feel free to leave any advice. I'd appreciate it a lot. If anyone is doing the paleo diet due to an autoimmune disease, please tell me how it improved your health. So far this week I haven't had a single stomach ache which is crazy since I've had them as long as I can remember. Just wondering if anyone had any results. Thanks for hearing me out!
TL;DR: 
I'm taking control of my life again and dropping 50 pounds so I can look smoking in a bikini. Any advice is welcome.
