Hello :)

[hitgirl21]

Hey everyone-

I found this site because I'm looking for support & help !! I'm interested in toning up - in a major way. Although I'm a rather skinny girl, I definitely lack muscle and definition (my abs must be hiding). I love working out - running, cycling, etc, but I want to get into lifting. I'd also love to hear about some protein shakes that don't taste absolutely horrible!

To be honest - since my boyfriend has joined the military, all he does all day is work out! He's gotten in shape so quickly, & I'm afraid I'm falling way behind! It'd be nice to have support from people who know what they're doing or are also new like me to help spur me on! Sometimes I feel like he doesn't understand how difficult it can be because his job all day is to basically work out.

Anyway, please don't be a stranger!!

Thanks Nice to meet you all!!

xoxo

id start with setting up a good diet and exercise routine.

so u want to build some mass?

defination will come from having lean body mass.

If you tell us where you live, some of the girls on here might take you under their wing, they're a friendly bunch, watch out for Peachy though, she gives people false promises of sex... :naughty:

height: 5 ft, 2 in

weight: 108 lbs

I've asked my (useless) bf to recommend what to do, but he's not very helpful when it comes to the gym. Guess he's too busy admiring his own muscles

I've tried everything in regards to diet.... it's gotta be the workout. I have on idea how to set a target weight or even what to do to start. I've met with several personal trainers here in the States & they're all very vague, especially for how much I'm paying them, & not very motivational

post up your diet to give an idea of what you eat and what times etc.

the actual workout routine is only part of the equation.

you also need a good diet,rest,sleep and consistency

It will be the diet, in part - you're clearly cardio-fit, full of energy and commitment, but without fuel, the body can't build mass. I'd almost bet you're not eating enough.

It'll also be about meal timings in relation to workouts - getting nutrients to the body when it needs them the most.

There are some very experienced women on here, some figure competitors, some strong women - I'm sure they'll help you.
