Weight loss: phase 2

I lost 25 pounds during my first round of training.   Went from 208 to where I leveled off at 181-183.  This was almost exclusively from s/b/r and no real changes in diet.   I have two immediate goals for my weight:

1.  Get down to the 155-160 range for my "race weight" in June and CdA
2.  Have a great looking body for our trip to the Big Island in April.

Starting last Sunday, I weighed in at 181.  I downloaded the Livestrong calorie counting app to my iPhone, and have been using that religiously for the past few days.   It's set to have me lose 2 pounds a week, and I need to net 1700 calories a day to do that.   It's a pretty cool app with a HUGE list of restaurants, grocery stores and food items and also any workouts I do. I take the time to measure out each serving, and it keeps a running tally for me.  I love it.  It's actually not hard to stay within those limits, as long as get a hold of my after-the-kids-go-to-bed snack cravings.   3 days in...so far so good.  Stepped on the scale today to see the lowest number I've seen in probably 15 years.
