How do girls with good bodies workout?

[Anonymous]

I've been weight lifting for two years. I have a decent body. But it's not what I want. Currently, I've gone from being a 'healthy' weight and some decent muscle mass for a girl to underweight. I've lost my period. I didn't even realise I was under eating. I suppose I was just restricting more and more every day...
no problem. I can gain weight back. But I'm reconsidering my bodybuilding style training. I started it to build a butt and bigger legs, but I'm just not achieving the look I want. A while a go, I DID want big muscles. Now I justvwant shape. I want to be thin, but still with a bit of fat so as you can't see my ribs and such. Seriously, the side of my butt is bruised from laying in bed. I want a softer, more feminine look but I still want to look fit, if you get me.
What do other girls do to get great bodies?

I assume you had a bad eating pattern. To build muscle you need proteins. And in small portions spread over the day. The body can only take a limited amount of proteins. All the rest is removed via the kidneys. You also need carbs if you workout (healthy carbs). Working out requires energy. If carbs cannot give that, you will start burning muscle, the opposite of what you want. And eat enough fruit and vegatbles. They contain the necessary fibers and vitamins for your body.
