How do YOU set your MFP goals?

So I've been at this MFP thing for quite awhile, and I consider myself successful. However... I have a question.

I'm struggling with the last 20 lbs (down 116 lbs to date)... and when I set my goals, I set my calorie goal at the NET Intake number AFTER exercise calories burned. Is there anyone else that does this??

So, everyday I eat around 1700-1900 calories (BMR is 1850) and on the days I dont work out, I still stay around that number, so I'm only "under my daily goal" if I work out (typically 5 days a week)

I guess its more of a mind thing for me... so If I eat 1700 today, I KNOW I have to burn 400 at the gym to get to my NET Intake goal...

is there anyone else that does this?

I don't do it that way but congratulations anyway.

I admit I will cheat.
I set myself up as sedentary, and maintining is 2500 and do the deficit from there. I dont factor in exercise or anything else like that so that is almost like adding to the deficit.

I just use TDEE-20% really... Same principle really, I know I'll just maintain if I'm not active (my goal is pretty much my TDEE as sedentary at this point, so if I want to lose, I have to move, lol).
