I just got to the one-year mark from when I decided to stop being fat. Let me tell you now that I have been on both sides of the equation, do not think losing weight will make you happier. No one truly cares about your goals in life but you. Sure you will get some nice comments here and there but this will not magically change your life, but still do it because it does help you in health and confidence aspects.
In my opinion, the first few months sucked the most. Going from 205 to 195 took a lot of adapting to do, mainly cutting out sugars. Once you get going it gets to be a game where you see results and feel good about yourself. I also would not count calories, I had much more success just being conscious about what I ate. Also, you may justify foods you do not need if you track calories. I would just look at nutrition labels and go from there. I also chose to use alcohol on the weekend as my cheat meal and pretty much never ate a real cheat meal. Working out 4-5 days a week will help maintain muscle (don't want to lose weight and be weaker), it is not worth it lol. Also please have a goal weight in mind and make it concrete you do not want to become too skinny, honestly may be looked down upon more than being fat. If you do want to put weight back on taking it slow is the move, I went from 2200 cal to 2250 to 2300, etc and now am at like 3300 cal. You will hear horror stories about yo-yo dieting and that is no Bueno.
GOOD LUCK!!!
