Therein lies the point...haters leave the thread thanks.
I've had a few PMs from folks asking what exactly I did diet wise so here's the list:
Breakfast
I've floated through a few different things and ended up on a particular protein shake that fills me up and tastes great to boot. Low fat / low sugar and high protein = decent metabolism boost and feeling fuller.

(choco and vanilla preferred, banana is nasty and havent tried strawberry)
Before that I was on a lighter version of that shake made by EAS and before that (ugg) those lame nutrigrain bars kelloggs makes.
Two cups of water plus a few handfuls of ice in the blender produces a shake that fills a 32oz cup to the brim. Usually have it within 5 minutes of waking up.
Lunch
I personally had to be careful here. It's easy in a corporate office to get hauled out with a large group into some bad news. Stick to the veggie stuff if you have to go to one of said bad places. If there's nothing sane to have, just limit your portion and get the waiter to haul the plate off.
When left to your own devices, you can't go wrong with Subway, Quiznos, or Schlotzsky's (Texas-ish thing). Footlong turkey with mustand, no cheese, and all the veggies you can tolerate is about 600 calories with a large diet soda and you leave full. There's also some so-so stuff at chick-fil-a as long as you don't douse it in mayo. Try to look up nutritional info for places you'd consider eating at - it helps.
I've also found a penchant for vermicelli bowls at vietnamese places. Find one that uses white meat chicken in theirs and you can also leave stuffed for about 500-600 calories.
Afternoon Snack
Lunch is usually at noon and so around 3:30 to 3:45 I'd grab one of these at my desk:

(peanut butter owns, chocolate crisp isnt bad)
Once again, low fat / sugar and high protein. This lasts me until 6.
Dinner
This one is where you have the most flexibility. I keep a loaf of sugar free whole wheat bread handy for sandwich fixings, some skinless white meat chicken breasts, fat free ranch dressing, and some premade salad. You can also find some badass Cambells soups over at http://www.campbellsoup.com/select.asp I have about five cans of the 98% fat free new england clam chowder in the pantry right now.
Just read labels on stuff that looks good in the grocery store and see if you can make it fit...

You look 10, maybe 15 years younger....congrats you must feel like you're on top of the world right now
congrats 
i'm not overweight, but over the last 3 years while i've been at university, i've become extremely out of shape. I really need to do what you did and just say "do it", and get healthy again. i want to turn my almost-beer belly back into the flat abs i used to have. but, just from working myself up to figuring out what to do... i commend you on diving in headfirst. you look great for it.
