I know it sounds like kind of a dumb question , but... I read something about muscle "drying": Does anyone know anything about this technique (how it's done? whether it "works" or not?)? Or any other advice??!! Thanks! --Nikole

Women naturally lose fat on their hips and thighs last.

Women tend to build before stripping out all of their bodyfat, hence you feel like you are bulking up. most women can't build really big muscles - if you can, consider yourself lucky. Stay with lifting - as heavy as you can with good form for 8-12 reps. Everyone stores and loses fat in different ways - keep lifting consistently and do cardio 5xwk (work up to this gradually) clean up your diet and you can't fail to get results
