Lifting Routines
I'm trying to put together a lifting routine for a 4 days a week workout, but I don't really have any structure and there are so many different suggestions online its confusing.

Stop exercising for 3 weeks.
Over Christmas I will be going home for 3 weeks. At home I am not a member of the gym, whereas at the moment I use my uni gym 4 times a week. I'm really worried I'll gain weight over christmas by not exercising to the same level. What will happen? and what can I do?

Loosing weight but not inches
I'm 5ft 5, and whist my weight is okay, my body shape is horrendous. I have NO waist and skinny legs - Yuck! The most annoying thing is I have lost weight but no inches on my hips, waist or arms. Why? These are the problem areas, trust me! Where has the weight come off from?
