Title: What's Wrong? Heavy Bones Or WHAT? I seem to weigh so much more than my friends my height. I am much more fit than they are...and have much lower body fat percentage (13%)...but they all weight nearly 10 lbs. less than me? What's going on? For example, I have a friend who is 5'2 and 93lbs. I'm 5'3' and 105 lbs. But my friend is 23% body fat compared to my 13%...I know weight doesn't matter...but it just bugs me...what's the deal? Name: Hola!Hola!

Muscles weigh more than fat so you probably have more muscle than your friend. That's good! Hola!Hola! wrote: > I seem to weigh so much more than my friends my height.

The extra inch is good for a few pounds, but also the fact that muscle weighs more than fat accounts for the rest. Forget about the numerical weight. Its all about your fat% and fittness level Hola!Hola! wrote: > I seem to weigh so much more than my friends my height.

THE REASON THAT YOUR FRIENDS WEIGH LESS THAN YOU IS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE MORE MUSCLE MASS THAN THEY DO! MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT DOES AND ALSO LOOKS BETTER! YOU HAVE VERY LOW BODY FAT SO DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT! JUST REMEMBER: THE MORE MUSCLE MASS YOU ACCUMULATE THE MORE YOU WILL WEIGH.
