Hey,welcome to the forums! I was 226 when reality slapped me in the face.
slow and steady is the best way to go, although the majority of people wishing to lose weight really want to just drop it off as quickly as possible. I find the slower you lose it, the longer it'll stay off. It takes around 28 days to get into a regular routine, so if you can stick it out for about a month, then it'll be alot easier. :]
Good luck, and if you ever need support, feel free to message myself or, i'm sure, many other members would be willing to help you and encourage you along.
