LOVE IT! I always say to keep it simple... Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right! It's not my original, it's Henry Ford's :D

Wellllll coming from someone who didn't log her own vegetables because she didn't eat ENOUGH, I'd say a calorie is a calorie. So it really depends on how strict you are on your calorie intake. I know that when I started counting all the Dove promises I ate but never counted, I was shocked :-) They are so tiny!

You're funny! You DO get bored easily don't you?! Week 2 "I AM SICK OF SALADS"!! LOL! I personally don't eat salads oftenand I get bored VERY easy too. The biggest thing I do is at dinner try to make enough for lunch the next day. That's the easiest lunch and sometimes I won't eat it until the second day so it's "new"…

All I can say is try, try , again! It will become easier once you lose a pound or two to stay motivated. And doing extra workouts will help, buuuuuuut, weight loss is 80% diet, so you are gonna have to buckle down some time :0) GOOD LUCK!

Circuits would probably be a great idea. Jillian Michael 30 day shred is about 30 minutes and you get cardio coupled with strength training and you could do that Mondays and Wednesdays after work. Even Fridays if you were really feeling it. I have the levels written out if you are interested, otherwise the DVD is about $8…

I don't know what bump means either, I see it often...hopefully someone else will answer that for us. As for the 1200 calories thing, that's the LEAST your body can function on. That's why MFP doesn't go lower than that. And because it's not safe. 500 defecit is to lose 1 pound a week since 3500 calories = a pound. You'll…

I always go over on my carbs too, but we probably shouldn't do it too often :-).

Hello! From the US!! Your kids are adorable :-)

Interval training is certainly a way to lose weight quick! I agree with everyone else out there telling you to take it slow. As for a youtube video for intervals? I'm SURE there is some. But since this is your new life you are working on here, you should make it something you will stick to. Intervals are essentially short…

I agree with Jagged_01, you probably should up your calories some! I'm not sure how you aren't sleeping all the time!! I would be out...keep up the good work!

Totally weigh if it's easy to overeat. Like CHEESE! Yummy...cheese...

I use the Garmin 405CX with the HRM and I love it! You can upload your data to your computer and see a play by play of your heart rates during your workouts.
-
Those HRM's go by the math of 220 minus your age. That number is supposed to be your maximum heart rate, the first time I did interval training I went over my "max". That made me do some research and I found that 220 thing to be just a guide. The highest number you've seen on your monitor is your maximum heart rate. So if…

I mix a tsp of Nutella in with my almond butter and have that with my apple. That's got my chocolate fix, fixed! :smile:

I was told if you are having trouble breathing to slow down? When I first started running I sounded just like you! I thought I was doing it wrong. I tried everyone's suggestions, nose first then mouth, mouth then nose, etc. Finally someone said slow down. I did and it actually helped. Eventually running got easier and…
