I usually gain 3lbs. Stays for about 5 days. 10lb sounds like a scale issue.

I wore chucks for a while, but I didn't really like them, so I started going barefoot. Worked fine for a while, but when I decided I wanted to focus on a deeper squat, I bought these. I find them to be very comfortable and really helped my squat depth. http://www.adidas.com/us/powerlift-2.0-shoes/B39860.html

Sounds like you may not be doing a sufficient warmup. Like socalrunner59 said, about 10-15 minutes of both dynamic and static stretches before lifting.

My family run really dense. I don't know if we have super heavy bones or just a lot of muscles but we all usually weigh about 20-30lb more than someone would guess. It could also depend on what brands you are looking at.

My goal is 150. I'm about a size 4 at that weight which is plenty small enough for me.

I personally can't skip breakfast. I have naturally low blood sugar anyway, and if I don't eat something protein heavy in the morning, things are not pleasant. I have had luck with skipping dinner. I didn't eat after 2pm for a couple of months and it worked pretty well for me.

Eggs. That's my go to. Followed by cheese. I eat low carb / high protein & fat so there is a lot more flexibility in the meat department than when you are eating low fat.

Well the point of exercise is actually to get your body in better shape, so you need to refuel in order to keep up your strength. That being said, I only eat back my calories if I had a huge workout 500+ calories burned, and then I still won't eat back all of it, unless I'm feeling like I need it.

I do StrongLifts 5x5, and other people started noticing about 5-6 weeks in, but I put on muscle a lot faster than the average woman. But like the PPs said, you have to lift heavier to see real results.

If you aren't puking or passing out during the exercise, and you aren't majorly sore afterwards, you are probably ok on the intensity. Are you sure you are eating enough (or the right things) to refuel your body?

I don't count it unless it is outside normal activity. For example doing laundry or cleaning the kitchen wouldn't count, but if I got up on a ladder and cleaned the exterior Windows I'd count it.
