Ah, "tone" the woman magazine term for
Moar muscle
Less fat
(but OMFG no size please)
;)Women and I've been guilty of that, can have a tendency to undereat and not want to put on any weight. If she's like that, make the scales disappear :p
JWestland-
@Juggle I think this other post on that site (about the author of that article) would probably be a good read for your gf http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/
It just kind of explains all of that in more detail with her as a case example. I feel like it does a pretty good and gentle job of dispelling some of those myths. @JWestland had a good idea re scales although I look at one all of the time for some reason.

Yeah she wants to "tone" which despite my arguments to her is still believed to actually be a real thing.
I'm the same as you, i've got tree trunk legs and with good definition and decent calf size (hardest bit to grow) but my upper body never balanced, I've focused on heavier sets for everything above the waist and its brought me up to proportion
