Frustrated at lack of progress
I eat well. I track everything. I weigh everything out. I eat at proper times, although lunch is a little weird, with my job, but I do eat it. I don't eat at night, after dinner.

Pedometer App
My FitBit broke so I downloaded a pedometer app. I picked Editors Choice, now doubt a good one. It was way off. Downloaded my second one and tested it today.

None of them go down to a size that would fit me. At least until I learned that they make them for children. There are several different brands, varying in price. I got a…

How often do you adjust your activity level?
I recently was reading up on BMR and TDEE and realized that I've been over restricting since I started working out (mostly HIIT 3-5x per week) a few months ago.
