Using TDEE if excercise is not consistant?

I am wondering if using TDEE is going to work well if exercise is not consistent. I try to walk/run 3 days a week and sometimes I get more sometimes I don't do it at all. I sit all day and most evenings as I drive my daughter to her karate and sit there...wonder then if I should just choose Sedentary as my activity level. I am thinking that I have about 15-20 lbs more to lose. Thanks.

I tried doing TDEE -20%, but since my exercise is not consistent netting my BMR is easier to work with. I plugged my numbers into MFP using sedentary and eat my exercise calories back. I chose sedentary since I have a desk job with long hours. The goal MFP gave me (1430) is very close to my BMR (1400) anyway!
I would love to lose about 15 pounds. Just started doing it this way, so we'll see!
Congrats on YOUR weight loss!0
