I've fallen in love with lifting, anyone have tips on how to blast fat and gain lots of lean muscle mass?

I highly recommend Stronglifts 5x5 or Starting Strength. Both advocate low number of reps and higher weights (esp. high compared to what women are "normally" told to lift). It's a great way to gain muscle as quickly as possible, especially if you haven't been lifting you will see a lot of gains quickly. Also, make sure you are eating an adequate number of calories and protein. Usually 1 gram protein per pound of lean body mass is recommended.0
