    forget the number 220. make daily goals, like I'm going to log everything I eat today. Focus on weekly goals, a few pounds a week. Small, frequent and attainable. Long term goals are ok, but don't over value them or they will own you.

    Thanks @‌WayneBradt
    The problem I faced a lot is that I couldn't carry on with what I think I would do... hectic job and no exercise led me to kind of obesity n now here I am... its not easy to forget the numbers coz I gained 100 lbs in a year... and that's damn speedy weight gain... I will struggle hard for it if I have too... :)

    I can tell you're struggling ... It's a big challenge for all of us. Set some smaller goals that give you the opportunity to celebrate success and find ways to reward yourself that don't involve food .... I like to buy new workout gear for myself. Please feel free to add me ... I'd like to cheer you along on your journey!

    Thanks DEGiltz .
    Yup it sure is a challenge and I'm going to try hard this time. I'll definitely celebrate if I'm able to loose even a pound for starters. :)
    Thanks for the comment. :)

    Best of luck! Keep up your food diary and a mix of cardio and weight training, you should meet your goals no problem.

    You will get there. Remember, a set back is not defeat. Just get back on track. I agree with everyone about setting smaller goals. They are more attainable and ultimately add to your bigger goal. You can do it! I would love to be your friend! :)

    You got this. One day at a time. You only need to improve one percent per day and you'll be amazed at your progress. Try to work on increasing strength while doing this so you can maintain muscle mass. Feel free to add me for accountability.

    Hey, I understand the struggle but for me its only 100 lbs. Not as much as you , but know there are others just like you with a huge weight loss goal. c: My goals weekly are to lose 2 lbs and by the month to lose at least 8 lbs so that by the end of the year I've lost nearly 100 lbs. So feel free to add me and remember to stay at a caloric deficet! If all you can do is walk, then walk for an hour everyday. Do whatever you can to lose that weight. :DD That's how I started. c:
