Okay, but why do you want to move "very fast"? Like I said in my first post, this isn't paintball, and you won't be hiking this gun 20km or anything either. The only time you'll really be moving very fast is sprinting from cover to cover. Otherwise you're usually moving
carefully and/or
quietly, expecially if you plan on milsimming.
The M249 is maybe exceptionally heavy compared to the average gun, but I still think you should be considering every carbine- or commando-sized assault rifle. Look at it this way, if you have the range you don't have to move as much, but if you're outranged you'll always be forced to move in order to try and get into range - which won't only tire you, it exposes you and basically robs you of the initiative time after time.

I have been working out to try and get the upper body strength necessairy to do this kind of stuff, but again, i don't want to be pushed to my limits just by carrying my gun.

It's endurance you want, more than brute strength. Get a 5lbs dumbell at CT or something, and get used to doing tons of reps. You don't really need to be able to lift a huge amount of weight, only carry a smaller one for a long period.

Also, i just wanted to see what else the other girls that airsoft are useing, as we don't seem to have many (if any) girls that airsoft outdoors around Winnipeg.

Not to slam you on this one, but personally I think this is a wrong attitude. Gender is irrelevant on the field, there's just teammates and opponents, and when they're getting the job done, the fact that they're female is anecdotal at best. Everyone kits out based on preference, size, and physical shape - not their gender.
