@ everybody: thanks a lot for your help!!

Right :)

No problem ;) I'm here to get a good advice. So I'm happy when there are suggestions of what I could change. OK. I'll track everything I consume. Sounds reasonable. Now I really think that I may have eaten a little bit too much. Or maybe my good-morning-smoothie was too much fruit - I eat pretty much fruit.... > sugar From…

Hmm, I think if it was too easy, my weight would simply stay the same... I increased the weights when I started, but not right now. Need to get new dumb bells... Wearing a pedometer is also a good idea. What about the heart rate monitor? Is it accurate and quite reliable? I got one from Polar...

Oops, I misread. My BMR is 1430, the Active Metabolic Rate 1870 (calculated some weeks ago (140 lbs))

No, I know for sure that I'm not pregnant ;) Maybe I'm really underestimating my calorie intake and overestimating my burned calories (although I use a HRM). I've just installed my app again to track everything :) The Jillian Michaels DVD is a mix of cardio and strength training. I've done the programm for several times…

OK, then I'll start tracking my calories again. Hope that'll help! Thanks guys :) :D

My BMI is 22.7 No, I don't use a food scale. I'm a teacher. So I stand or sit during the day. OK, so I should better start to track what I eat. I just drink water or unsweetened tea, sometimes one cup of coffee in the morning.

No, currently not. I did it for a while to get a feeling for how many calories/fat etc I eat, but I didn't do it here on myfitnesspal. I used another app. I eat about 1300-1500 calories a day. Sometimes more. But I think I should definately not gain weight or even fat that way... I also don't think that I undereat...??
