I stopped working out over the holidays and now started back up with freetrainers. When can i expect to see results??

You've come to the right place. Ask your boyfriend what he eats and you'll see that it takes a considerable amount of calories to gain lean mass(muscle). Of course I wouldn't advise eating as much as him. LOL -------------- May the lift be with you.

Regarding diet... i have always eaten like a bird :-) But when i worked out with my boyfriend i was eating a lot more and got some protein shakes that i drink daily. HAve any suggestions on how to bring up the calories but not fat in my diet?? Also, I have a workout schedule with freetrainers which is pretty intense. I can hardly lift my arms when i leave the gym and my legs are sore for days after working out. My goals are just to tone and build a little muscle. RIght now i weight 109lbs and am 5'4 and weak :-)
