[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In response to PP, I have heard that women can bulk up if they use heavy weights.  This is OP and it's been 2 weeks now and I feel awesome - stronger, leaner, healthier.  I am going to keep it up!  I'm not bulking up as far as I know but I will say that I don't step on the scale because I'm not making progress there - but as they say, muscle weighs more than fat and looks way better so I am OK with it.

Thanks all for the advice.  [/quote]

MUSCLE DOES NOT WEIGH MORE THAN FAT!  Sorry, but that phrase drives me nuts.  A pound of muscle weighs a pound.  Guess how much a pound of fat weighs (a pound!).  Muscle is denser than fat so a pound of fat will be "bigger" than a pound of muscle.  So if that is what you care about, you should be measuring yourself (hips, waist, thighs, etc.).  Also, I don't know what you are lifting, but it is very unlikely you are bulking up.  Some people are more likely to develop more defined muscles (genetics, body fat, etc.), but unless you are following a bodybuilding and very heavy weightlifting program (along with the bodybuilding diet), you very unlikely to bulk up.
