So that 2000 average is going to be correct, with some days likely to be over 3000 deficit! An admirable effort, but that's bound to be affecting your metabolism and your probably not getting all the nutrients that your body needs after that expenditure.
1500-1600 daily calories, plus eating back my exercise, is the range I use for getting down to race weight.

sticking to 1500-1600kcal a day food and then rest of deficit is exercise, I've cycled 3x a week to work and back (11 miles each way) and done a 20-27 mile walk once for 3 out of the last 6 weekends and before that did a few 20-30 mile days on the bike on weekends.
