    This morning's weigh-in was 214.6, with a loss of 3.8 lbs. I weigh myself every morning, but do not "weigh-in" on MFP until Sunday (or every 7 days). Time to recalc my TDEE?

    Update 7/4/2013

    Thanks for the counsel, CT and pac.

    Noticed the last week I appear to be stuck at 207 (plateau), but think I will give it another week.

    Time for another TDEE calc, refeed, none of the above?

    Regards, Karl

    Depending on what your weight and bf% are you may not need a refeed unless its to maintain mental sanity

    What are you daily macros now ?

    And what is your weekly cardio sessions consist if in calories burned ?

    Example
    Mine are

    P 230
    C 140
    F 55

    Cardio 6 sessions @ 450 calories
    2 HIIT sessions 15 rounds for 15 seconds

    (Based upon that statement, CT, I may not need a refeed. The day to day making the tail end of my TDEE (1906) minus 500 hasn't been all that tough. Presently at 207 lbs, no idea what the BF is.)

    What are you daily macros now ?

    (P 215-230
    C 170
    F 42-65)

    And what is your weekly cardio sessions consist if in calories burned ?

    (Cardio 2 sessions (Tues and Thursday non lifting days) @300-450 cals; each lifting session begins with 5 minutes run on treadmill or cycle @50 -75 cals. This w3s based on pacs suggestion to start with 2 cardio sessions @200-250 to start. I was having problems as you will recall NOT causing severe calorie deficits.)

    Example
    Mine are

    P 230
    C 140
    F 55

    Cardio 6 sessions @ 450 calories
    2 HIIT sessions 15 rounds for 15 seconds
