<human>: I currently weight 211 lbs. I'm only 5'6. I carry most of my weight in my stomach area. Of course my arms and face show a bit of chub but it's all in my mid section. When I actually saw 211 lbs on the scale at the doctors office the other day, I just decided I couldn't take it anymore. This is the biggest I've ever been in 24 years. 

I really can't "diet". I feel like anytime I want to diet it's just setting myself up to fail. I need to change my lifestyle.  The idea of changing my lifestyle though is very daunting. I guess what I want to do, is write down my goals. Post them in my apartment and really just stick to them everyday. 

I really want to eat better. Ive just recently subscribed to /r/health, [[/r/nutrition](/r/nutrition)  and now, [/r/loseit](/r/loseit) . 

Aside from exercising and eating right, does anyone have any suggestions to make this transition stick. I have the anger in my self to really want to be motivated. I guess a slight shove in that direction would also be good. 

I really want to be down to 160 by the end of the year. I'm not sure if 50 pounds in 7 months is actually an option. But it's something to shoot for. I feel perhaps I shouldn't also just be shooting for poundage but more so loss of inches in areas of my body. Currently I have a 40" waist, and I would be really happy if I could get down to a 32" waist.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I'm 211 lbs and I'm tired of it. I'm looking for suggestions on how to help me change my lifestyle to lose the weight and inches.
