I wish I had known that exercise wouldn't help me lose weight before I suffered through all those hours and miles on the bike.

Perhaps Icyclist is trying to get us to understand that most people return to their pre-weight loss habits once they hit their target weight, but of course I couldn't bother to read the gibberish, so I could be completely off base. Guess I'll go check my weight to see if the 35lbs I lost over 2 months has miraculously come back.
