Question
i am the same 5'10 girl of 220lbs who plans on eating less than 500 calories a day. In response to your assumption, yes i have dieted before. last year i weighed in at 245lbs. in about 3/4 months i lost 30lbs by trying to not eat though i was constantly failing and would end up eating and say i'd start again tomorrow. the longest i ever went without eating before was 3 days. after that i started all types of diets, trying a new thing every few days. such as eating only pickles, or only yogurt, i was a vegetarian for a while and tried to eat very little bread at the same time (basically i was living off of potatochips and junk), and for a while i went with out fast food, i've tried not eating after 8pm, and a negative calorie diet. With all this dieting i lost 35lbs, but i never really realized it until i had given up on them all (it wasn't real apparent (i went from a size 18/20 to a size 14/16).  Unfortunately, I gained 20 of the pounds back (originally i only gained back 10 lbs, but within the last couple of months, i've gained an extra 10) the lowest i've ever weighed at this height is 210. I was a skinny child up until age 10 and then i got fat. My extended family is fat, but both of my brothers are skinny. I think i have very large bones and i am strong for a girl (i took weightlifting and can benchpress 150 on a machine) I am normally a fast food eater and i gained weight eating sometimes even 2 meals a day from fast food, but i am well aware of this problem, and am restricting fast food in take to once or twice every two months at least until i am at my skinny goal of 135lbs. i never eat breakfast so i eat 2 meals a day (normally excluding this diet where as long as i eat under 500 calories its fine).  BUT MY REAL REASON FOR WRITING BACK IS TODAY I EXERCISED TWICE! (MORE THAN 2HRS) AND IN TOTAL I WALKED INCLINE 5-15, 3.5-3.8MPH, AND BURNED A LITTLE OVER 2000 CALORIES. I WANT TO CONTINUE THIS. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MUCH WEIGHT I WILL LOSE NOW. I think i am becoming addicted to the exercise. I just pop on my headphones and start moving for an hour.    

Answer
I can't tell you how much weight you will lose.  That depends on many factors and can't be predicted.  My biggest concern is your calorie intake.  YOU SHOULD NOT BE EATING SO FEW CALORIES.  That can be very dangerous if you are not under strict doctor supervision!!  I cannot stress that enough!  In addition to being dangerous to your health, eating so few calories will NOT help you to lose stored fat.  It will only cause you to lose muscle, which means it will be very easy for you to gain that weight back when you start to eat more. In fact, with so few calories your body will probably go into what is known as the "starvation mode" and your body will start to hold on to fat.  THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!  ALSO, if you are going to exercise for that long, only eating 500 calories per day becomes even more dangerous!!
I highly recommend speaking with your doctor about a HEALTHY weight loss plan.  He/she can refer you to a dietitian in your area that can help you change your eating habits and exercise habits for life so you can lose weight the healthy way and KEEP it OFF!!  
AGAIN, I stress that eating under 500 calories can be very dangerous to your health!!  You really need to see a healthy professional that can steer you in the right direction.
