You need to be a little more specific.

You looking for a Tri bike or a road?
Price you are willing to spend?
How tall are you and what is your pants inseam?

Lots of guys here ride and can help give you direction.

Probably not a Tri bike, since I will want to use it for family rides.

Would really like to keep it under 2k. If after this year, this is something I get really serious about then I can pop for something on the upper end.

5'10 and 31ish I would guess.

what's everyone's opinion on juicing to help weight loss?

I don't want to go the full on juicing where that's all you're drinking/eating the entire day. I'm thinking more of for breakfast only and lunch on occasion, or just something as a snack (with a very small lunch) between lunch/dinner

For less than 2g's you can buy yourself a nice bike. I think for the 1,000-1500$ rage you would be very happy. You could go into most bike shops, buy something off the floor from last year and be all set.

You probably are going to be looking at 56cm frames.

Aluminum is the most cost effective material, but it can be a harsh ride. It is stiffer and has great performance, but your ass may have to get used to it.
Steel is very comfortable
Carbon is fine, but more expensive. You will get lesser components on a carbon < 2g frame.
Titanium is the best all around, but save that material for your dream bike.

Most time, the frame will be adequate on any bike over 1000. You want to concern yourself with getting the best components as possible. Ranked in importance

Wheels - you want light durable wheels. The only thing that makes a big difference in the actual performance of a pike (how fast) is wheels. Rotational weight is a huge component to performance and going up hills.

Shifting systems - SRAM and Shimano are the way to go. The SRAM systems are good price point

The rest really don't mean much.

Find a nice bike with the best wheels and shifting system and you will be happy.

Mark is saying that it isn't bad but more of an okay thing that requires limiting carbs later to balance it out. Juicing loses a lot of the good parts with the discarded elements and consuming a lot of carbs. It certainly beats my eating habits some mornings (or days) when I don't balance my nutrients and veggie intake properly (to get enough).

Even if it just starts helping you get away from cereal and bananas, that would be a good thing. The 'murican sponsored breakfast of hungry people everywhere.

I'm not a fan of juicing, I think you need the fiber plus eating raw veggies whole fills you up and slows down calorie intake. I know people that juice carrots and are surprised when they don't lose weight. Just like orange juice those calories add up quickly.

Now under 200, still just from calorie counting.

I wish I could force my body into losing fat from areas I pick out as opposed to just assfuck randomly.

The belly and love handles are always the last to go

I was in the same position at about 200. My weight now hovers from between 178-184lbs (depending how much I feed my face) and can somewhat see my abs and have lost the love handles. Since graduation almost 2 years ago I've dropped 60 lbs. Mostly from working my ass off in the gym and eating a lot less junk food. I can't recall the last time I went to a fast food restaurant other than Chipotle.
