I do a mix of training every week. Still sitting around the 180lbs mark, might need to adjust the TDEE a bit to see more results. Always going up or down a couple of pounds over a week. May drop off 250 calories next week and see what happens.

Performance for my runs has been pretty good, I feel fuelled for all my runs and rather than trying to eat calories at the end of the day, I can spread them out over the full day. Works much better for me. I've stopped using endomondo for my calories, just doing the TDEE and all looks good. Will see what next week brings…

Well that's a week done on the TDEE and here is what my running diary looks like and also my weight.... I changed MFP to TDEE on Thurday last week and my weight was 185lbs Thursday: 10 reps on a hill, 1:20min a rep with jog recovery back down + warmup / cool down. (6.9mi) Friday: Rest Saturday: parkrun + warmup/cooldown…

Well, it's only been a couple of days (well, since Thursday) that I have changed my calories to the TDEE and guess what, Ive been sub 13 stone for the past 2 days - I'm over the moon! If it continues to come of nice and slowly then I'm a happy chap. The reason I wanted to get back in to the 12's is because I feel my…

Hi everyone, Thanks again for all your comments. I'm not going to change too many things all at the same time. Im going to go with the TDEE daily calories for 2 weeks and see how I get on with that. My training has been setup from years of running marathons, I know what works for me and 50 mi a week is actually a bit lower…

When people are saying strength work, is that gym work or a class or something else? Interested to hear what people do.

That is interesting to hear! Im going to give the 2529 a day option a go. It does make it easier to have a set calorie allowance a day because some nights I'll be out for 10 miles while another night its 5 miles and I find on the 10 mile night I need to eat everything and anything to try and get near my calorie allowance…

Cheers Jim, and for for the day off i.e. Friday rest day. Do I still stick to the TDEE calulation? Looking at : http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ It gives me 2779 for 6 days a week activity, minus 250 = 2529 a day

Thanks everyone for your comments, didnt expect so many replies in such a short time! Here is a bit more background about my running. I run 6 days a week, with a mix of distances and types of running. A typical week is Monday: easy 5 mile run, recovery Tuesday: Speed / Track session, usually 8 miles total Wednesday: easy 7…

But the point of MFP is that it reduces your calorie intake for you i.e. if I want to loose 1lb a week then my calories before excercise are X, if I want to loose 2lbs a week then my daily calorie intake is Y. This is the amount I need to eat without excercise to loose weight. If I then eat all my excercise calories this…
