That being said, just keep at it and all that extra weight will melt away!
Give us a sample diet, and the guys here (stem, 405, GB etc) will point out what needs to change, and why.
I was 256 a while ago, and went down to 170 lbs, so I know what kind of work you have in front of you, but slow and steady is the way to do it.
Good luck mate
