Trying not to gain fat while building muscle and I need advice?
I started weight training/lifting and eating more protein/clean food (I don't count calories like I used to because I was obsessing over them and it got unhealthy) I'm just so worried I'm going to get fat instead of burning it!

At what point should I stop trying to lose fat and start trying to gain muscle?
So I'm 5'4" and a female. I've lost 7 pounds and am now 122.6.

I like running because it's easy and I know how to do it and track…

When Should I start seeing results?
About 5 days ago I started a 30 day toning challenge including squats, pushups, and leg lifts (the amount keeps building throughout the 30 days). I've already made changes to eat healthier and decided to try and tone my body by doing the quick workouts in the challenge. So far, I've always felt the burn the next day of the…

New to dieting and could use some help
Hi. So I've been trying to lose weight for about three months now. I am 19 years old, 127 pounds and 5'4". My BMI is healthy however I am still not satisfied with how I look.
