I have fur babies too!

You can add me too. :#

High intensity interval training (something like sprint-jog-repeat)

Yes but I've had quite a bit of progress with consistent strength training, HIIT, and keeping my daily sugar intake under 40g.

You're not over complicating this.

I've had a Fitbit for 4 years and I only pay attention to the leaderboard if one of my Fitbit friends wants to have a challenge. The Fitbit friends that have gone inactive on my list are either focusing on strength training or are serious runners who use other websites like strava. (And then of course a few have just quit…

What is your goal? Build muscle or burn fat?

Heck yes.

I don't think it's about scale # but body fat %. I think it's important to find out what your lean body mass # is and then plan from there. Even though we are 5' 7" we are going to carry our weight differently based on % of body fat.

Um...it's not to build muscle since your goal is weight loss and you are eating at a deficit it's to preserve muscle. It also helps with hunger.

What are you doing for a warm up and are you stretching your hip flexors? You might want to google "striders" and I think the other stretch has a rear foot elevation...I can't remember the name. Google squat and hip flexors and the stretch should come up. It sounds like all you need to do is work on stretching but it could…

I would take this question over to the experts and have them look at your food diary. You also might tell them how much cardio you're doing since it doesn't look like you're eating back your calories. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/10067-eat-train-progress-

All joking aside... It's very difficult because the problem is not food. The majority of my friends are also Fitbitters so I can talk exercise with them. Some of my MFP friends are not. It's difficult watching some mfp friends struggle and for me to not say anything. My educational background is in psychology. So when I…

I'm a unicorn too and a big fan of the ME book. I had to dial down stress not calories.

Oh! Oh! Add me! Add me! I will be more than happy to be that friend that cracks the whip or questions your food choices!!! LOL! :)

My diary is open and I try to hit 40/40/20 at 1640 calories.

This looks great! Thanks!

If I'm short on time I just grab a piece of fruit and a protein shake.

Neither. Try an English cucumber. Duh.

You find a pair of jeans that fit your hip/thigh area and you take them to a tailor for the waist to be altered. Just make sure you wash them a couple of times before alterations.

At various times? Is this once a week? And at what weight? What weight are you using for shoulder presses for example?

Candice Keene has a nice shoulder workout posted on youtube. It's broken up into three videos but it's worth a look. It's pretty basic with shoulder presses etc.

Do you like Greek yogurt? That would bump up your protein.

And how much protein was in that meal?

I think you need to figure out why it happened. Is it physiological or psychological? Were you hungry? Angry? Tired? Lonely? Or stressed? http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/snack-attack-coping-with-cravings

Oh I'm that person. Not only do I read a book on the treadmill but...wait for it.... I facetime people on my iPad. I KNOW!!!! Crazy right?!?!?!? It's called multitasking and it's also a great way to relieve the pain from my legs from the SQUATS I DID THE DAY BEFORE. Plus walking at a slow pace lowers cortisol levels. ;0)…

Bodybuilding.com On FB I follow women like Erin Stern, Kelsey Byers, Nicole Wilkins, and Lori Harder.

I've found the plans over at bodybuilding.com to be helpful. I'm following a 5 day training split: M-Legs, T-Chest/Triceps. W-Back/biceps, Thurs, Legs, Fri- Shoulders, Abs I'm also doing cardio 5 days a week but no more than 30 min. (usually HIIT) I agree with Wolfsbayne... give it a couple of weeks to see results.
