Height: 5' 10.5"
Default 11 pounds down: first weight loss in my LIFE :D
I weighed myself this morning, and the scale showed a magical 100 (kilos) which translates in 220 pounds

and yes, this is my first weight loss in my life
I've never been good with dieting, but now that I changed my life philosophy, it's just so easy

this forum showed me the way to do it properly, and I want to thank you guys

I lost 11 pounds in just 3 weeks, and without exercising, but I know it's just a water weight and it will go much slower, but I'm so happy that I'm actually doing something right for myself. It's so great to look myself in the mirror and instead thinking : "What a fat pig, I'm so ashamed of myself!", I just look at myself and I think: "well, I'm a work in progress" and I just feel so happy and satisfied

just wanted to share my first accomplishment with you, ladies
and thank you for your support

Way to go!
Positive self talk is so important-- If you can continue to tell yourself good things when you look in the mirror it will make a big difference!

That is wonderful!!! I understand about the never losing weight before--- It took me a long to realize that I had gotten fat, so I didn't know how to lose weight, and it actually took me a while to care about losing as well.

Now that you know how to do it, I'm sure you will continue to lose at a healthy steady pace.
