Need some advice....

Hi, my name is Kelli and I am currently a 21 year old college student who loves to work out! However, I really could use any information anyone might have on this area. I am trying to tone my muscle mass but really want to be to still have muscle definition. Like that one girl who is always on the Bowflex commercials. Really would love a body like that. :) Anyways I don't take any supplements and my diet is fairly healthy. I try to eat fruits and veggies and healthy meals, but occasionally will snack on cheeze its and other crackers. I stay away from candy and sweets and don't drink soda at all. My workouts alternate. One day I will do an hour of lifting and it's usually medium to heavy lifting on different muscle groups, and then the next day I will do an hour of cardio. I normally workout 6-7 days a week. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I should be able to tone my muscle mass? Also any ideas on a good ab workout? My 500 abs a day are driving me nuts and for a while I haven't seen any results. Just one more thought, my mom had heard that if you shrink or build your muscle it might creat stretch marks. Has anyone heard anything on that? Does anyone know how to get rid or decrease stretch marks or cellulite? I have developed some of this on my legs and hips and I think it might be because I used to compete in olympic weightlifting competitions and probably from squats. I'm not sure though, but I don't like it! :) Anyways any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
Thank you very much for the information. I know if I change some of my eating habits then I should start to see a change. I didn't see anything wrong with my workouts as far as alternating between cardio and weights every other day. So we'll see how this works. Thanks again! :)

There could be something wrong with you're lifting routine. If you want to maximize your fat loss, you're best going with a full-body of compound lifts, with rep schemes between 8-12.

I'm going to start the break-in for NROL this Thu. The break-in is 15reps, but the weight workout for fatloss (three stages) starts at 15 then drops to 8 in the second stage.
