come on sdf we can help him a little more then that.

Ok first things first, you need to realize that going from 260 to 180 isnt going to happen quickly. And if you want to do it and stay healthy, its gonna take six to eight months.

The other thing you want to start doing right now is planning your meals. I would suggest a low carb diet, and slowly dropping your cals. if you just stop eating your body will shut off your metabolism and thats bad. But take sunday, go shopping, plan out meals for the week, and get cooking.

next you want to figure out how much of each macro nutrient you should be taking in. There are alot of different ways to go about this, different diets say different things but here is what i would do. In order to keep any muscle you have, take in 230g of protien every day. keep your carbs below 40g so that your body moves into a ketonic state and burns fats instead of sugars for fuel. And to facilitate that end, take in atleast 100g of fats. keep a close eye on these numbers, and as you begin to lose wieght adjust them as you go.
