Also, try calculating your BMR and AMR apart from the daily plate site. Their database is great, but I don't know that I agree 100% with their take on how fitness fits into the plan.

And don't get "greedy" with the weight loss. It should be slow and steady. I'd shoot for no more than a 500 calorie deficit from food, and cycle these calories. Each day change the number of calories you eat by about 200 to 300 to keep your body guessing. (1 day at maintenance, next day at maint. minus 200, 3rd day maint minus 500, then back to maintenance level.
The rest of your deficit will come from working out.
