I've done the rapid weight loss before and gained it back. I know what I did wrong and what i will not be doing this time. I eat good food and enjoy my life. I'm not on a "diet". Your comments show you don't know my situation. What may have worked for you, might not work for me. To blindly say "eat less than 2000 calories a day" is nuts. I am eating roughly 2500 calories a day, and still operating at a caloric deficit. I just eat more often.
You are right about staying active. The only way to succeed in long term life change is to change your life and stay active.
You know, I did see you on your bike! I don't have the time to spend 4hrs a day at the gym, I have kids and a job. lol. However I can work out twice a day most days and still have plenty of time to get my other jobs done.
Thanks for the congrats... and congrats to you as well. A bike in SF, with all the hills is damn hard I am sure!
Thanks buddy! Good luck to you as well!

I don't think you have to over analyze food and diet. You eat low fat. You don't have second helpings. You eat a good breakfast. Then you get active. The most effective way to get and remain active is to find an activity you actually enjoy and will continue for the rest of your life. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Eliptical training probably is not that.
I walk up mountains. You might play squash. Something aerobic that is fun. It is pretty simple. Its just doing it that is tough. Good luck.
