TDEE vs goal calories?

Thank you for all the advice. I just started MFP about two weeks ago and have been going back and forth trying to figure out if I should be following calories or TDEE and what my calorie goal should actually be. Thanks again.0

45mins every day on the elliptical may really be more than needed.. Possible mix in some walking or yoga? And of course take some rest days0

With only 10 lbs to lose - if I eat 1700 calories per day and burn 300 per day exercising do you think I will lose or should my calories be less?0

If you are consistently burning 300 a day in exercise, 1,700 should be fine. That would actually put you at moderately active (at least more than lightly) and your TDEE for that is around 1,800-1,900. Give it time after adjusting. If you don't lose anything in 2 weeks, try trimming it by 50 a day and go another 2 weeks. Everyone has a sweet spot, just have to be patient.
Kudos to you for not jumping on the 1,200 bandwagon and looking at the options. Better to lose it eating more, much easier to transition into maintenance.0
