I guess 185 should be my first goal. Or maybe I should set "realistic" goals.

I wonder how much time it would take to lose 10 lbs.

I tend to eat before going to sleep. I guess I should stop doing that.

Any goal you set should follow the SMART criteria, imo :p

Reasonable, non-crash dieting nets about -1 lb a week, with most people losing about 5 lbs their first week as they tend to cut out carbs/sodium which means less retained water. So you're looking at ~3 months for the first milestone.

Meal timing means almost nothing, btw. Find a feeding schedule that works well for you and run with it. A lot of the nutrition science that says "eating before you sleep is bad" is doing so without accounting for caloric intake. Of course people who eat an extra meal a day are going to be heavier than those that don't.
