Scott, If you're serious about dropping 30 lbs by end of summer, I'd like to hop on your bandwagon. I'm being told I look good (over two years went from 240lbs to 195. Big change, but I'm still not happy. Still a BFF (big fat f***). I wanna hit 150, that way my muscles will actually show instead of being concealed in a layer of lard.
I think we can all motivate each other by posting progress pics and info, as well as tips and info on workout programs and all that stuff. I'm into road biking myself. Bike cost ~1.6K, but that's only because I splurged on the frame.... www.habcycles.com. The rest is stuff I bought from different spots. Saved tons of money and got much better hear for the price. If I were doing it all again, I'd have gone friction shifting all the way. To hell with indexing. I HATE it. It stinks. requires constant adjustments and the benefits are not worth it, especially cost factored in, not to mention friction era parts last longer..... My advice as far as buying a bike, piece it together. 60-130 bucks for a nice Al frame and you're good to go. Gear 'too heavy'? Drink less beer and drop poundage for free! It'll make a bigger difference than shaving a few grams off something stupid, like a "lightweight race chain" or "magnesium race-light derailleur limit screws!!11" Anyway, I hope we can all sign on for this, (set goal, set plan, and stick to it by reporting progress).
