Hi all, I'm new to the community, I've put on a lot of weight suddenly, and I'd like to ask for advice about how to exercise to lose weight.
I get bulky rather easily when I lift weights and I'm a very short woman so that looks and feels awful. How do you exercise to drop weight and mass without putting on muscle weight?

    1. Fork put downs. Exercise is for health, aesthetics and more calories to eat. You need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.
    2. You do not get bulky. It's a really hard thing for women to put on muscle, even with optimum genetics and optimum training (progressive overload strength training) and a calorie surplus women can be blessed to gain 0.5-1lb of muscle per month.
    3. Muscle makes you look darn good, you want to preserve it.
    4. So put your stats into MFP (if you give us those we can advise what you should aim for weekly loss wise), log accurately, honestly and consistently and you will see the results you want.

    You need to concentrate on your food intake. Eating less than you burn is how you lose weight.
