Answers:
Hi there!

Generally speaking, I rarely see calf muscles swell due to treadmill, which is great for melting body fat. I would say keep doing what you are doing until you stop losing weight.

That should answer your question, but if not let me know.

Good luck with your diet and fitness goals!

HERE ARE THE BASICS:

1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight. There are 3500 Calories/Lbs of fat. To lost one pound of fat/week you have to burn 3500 Calories/week more than you consumed. there are 2500 Calories in a pound of muscle.
4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.

As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.

Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.
Your legs will become toned but they should not increase in size too much. Be sure to stretch before and after running so that you lenghten you muscles and create a long lean look. I rotate from the cardio bike to the tread mill to decrease burn out and also to move my muscles differently. Good luck and keep up the healthy life style. As long as you are not using steroids you will NOT beef up like a dude.
