    Wow, lots of responses long after the original post. Thanks everyone for the constructive criticism and advice!!!

    I'll definitely put more time into it. And as for the last poster, above me, it's weird, I kept losing weight even when I didn't do cardio or weights (for a week and a half I didn't do any exercise AT ALL, sadly). But I'm definitely going to invest in some heavier weights, and increase the #-age (I know it's not a word, brainfart hah) of my weights as I get stronger.

    Yes there is a college gym, but I live off-campus so it's quite the transit. Either way I'll find a means to lift heavier, whether it be at the gym or with my own weights.

    Thank you! This article was quite useful. I'm aiming for the second category (burning fat, and having a lower BF%). Gaining muscle is definitely of use, but for now, I think having a lower BF% should serve the purpose of a leaner look for me. Though I may try to gain some muscle later on.
