So I started my work on better health and weight on January 2nd. Had a "little" lapse for March and April, but got back to work May 1st. Year to date I'm down a little over 25 pounds total after regaining some during the lapse. Here's a little capture of life so far.
This is my weight loss over the past 6 weeks:

...
Week 1 - MFP had me listed at 1600 calories. I traveled over the weekend. I packed all of my food, so I could stay on track. Didn't plan quite as well as I thought for my activity level. Not sure why there is a 5 calorie variance between total and net on days I logged no exercise?

...
Week 2 - I bumped my calorie intake to 1700 to account for 3 Aikido classes/wk

...
Week 5 - I started cycling more regularly with nicer weather. Did a 34 mile ride on Thursday and 66 mile ride on Sunday with a HRM to track the calorie burn. Couldn't figure out how to close the net deficit gap. I was stuffed.

...
Week 6 - I bumped my calorie allowance to 1800 calories. Repeated my 66 mile ride on Sunday. Front loaded on my calorie intake a couple days prior because figured I wouldn't make up the deficit on ride day.
