Will lifting weights make me bulky?

No. Women have far lower testosterone than men, many times lower, so building large muscles takes years of dedicated heavy training and a lot of food. Most women who lift end up firmer and more defined, not bulky.

What people usually mean by "bulky" is a layer of fat over new muscle. Fat loss and strength training together give you the toned look most women are after.
