combining HITT and starting strength

You need to think about what your goals are, since it's impossible to train all aspects without each one suffering and you suffering from overtraining.

Fair point. I should have mentioned this before.

I'm about half way to my modest goal of losing 5-10 pounds. Once that is achieved, my goal is merely to maintain that weight, while strengthening certain areas to help avoid injury (to the knees, for example). I would like to do so with a variety of activities, to keep things tolerably interesting.

I think it's possible that my goals may become more ambitious over time, but that's it for now.

what you describe is basically Crossfit... also while exercise is amazing, most dramatic weight changes are made in the kitchen....best of luck.
