Things that make me go: Grrrrrrrrr.....

PUT YOUR WEIGHTS BACK AFTER YOURSELF IN THE GYM :explode:

Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat.

Fat does NOT turn to muscle when you exercise.

When you meet me in the elevator and I'm heading to the gym, you aren't the first person to ever think of asking me to exercise for you. :grumble:

"Hot enough for you?" is probably one of the most redundant and stupid questions you can ask.

Thank you for your time, as you were. :bigsmile:

Sorry... I thought muscle weighed more than fat... am I crazy?

I was confused by that as well since I have ALWAYS heard that to be true.

A pound is a pound no matter what, a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of bricks. Fat is more squishy (proper technical terminology used ) than muscle so appears thinner but it all weighs the same.

from what i understand the saying "muscle weighs more that fat" actually means that if you measure the amount of space that a pound of fat covers it is more than the amount of space that muscle covers... That is what the saying means. I guess you could get all technical but of course everyone knows that a pound equals a pound...:)

Well...a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat...afterall, a pound is a pound. But muscle takes up much less space

DING, DING, DING, give that person a prize. (And I LOVE the term "squishy" :bigsmile: )

A pound is a pound is a pound. Muscle is dense, therefore takes up less space (if you will).

Am I the only one that has peeves today :devil: (or just the one being honest?)

Come on folks, let's have 'em.

Depends how you look at it, a pound is a pound no matter what , but a cup of fat and a cup of lean meat the meat would weigh more. So it just depends on how you look at it

This should help! A pound is a pound...but how it looks under your skin is the difference!!

mommared53

When people say muscle weighs more than fat they mean by volume not by weight. As in a cup of muscle weighs more than a cup of fat. Or a cup of dirt weighs more than a cup of feathers. I had to have this explained to me at one time too.

My pet peeves:

People that don't use their turn signal (It's on there for a reason you know!)

Those that don't understand what Right of Way means

People who stop suddenly in the middle of a sidewalk or in the middle of the mall with no warning and just do their thing, completely oblivious to people who are walking BEHIND them.

Dishes that get left in the sink when the dishwasher is practically empty.

Garbage that is left on the counter when the garbage is practically empty

People at the gym that pass gas. I mean, I know it's a bodily function but it sucks when I am breathing heavy from my workout and get a whiff of that!! EW!!

Those are a few!! :bigsmile:

My pet peeves:
*smacking/talking with a mouthful/bad table manners in general
*People who don't understand what it means to "Yield" while driving:grumble:
*People who drive in the right lane and don't want to let the people merging onto the freeway on.... I mean, don't drive in that lane if you aren't willing to let people in!!
*How my hubby can never make it all the way to the trash can.... just right next to it
*people who try to get me to "cheat" on my new lifestyle(Not diet) because they don't think I need it.

Exactly...we're all right, but some are talking about apples and we're talking oranges. The original post says nothing about a POUND of muscle or a POUND of fat, because we all know a pound equals a pound. But that saying is derived from the fact that a glob of fat weighs less than the same size glob of muslce.....meaning if you gained weight, it could be that you gained muscle since muscle DOES weigh more than fat.....

I find this argument interesting. I mean, I'm a left brain, so usually things like this annoy me (by things I mean omitting facts while stating things). But In this case, I look for the givens in the equation. By volume muscle weighs more then fat, which is to say it's much more dense then fat. Which is what people on here mean (the given) when they say such things. Saying a pound is a pound is meaningless unless you are trying to give a baseline for other values; but you would need qualifiers. I.E. ON EARTH a pound is a pound but on the moon a pound equals 1/6th of a pound (where the former, as always denotes the baseline and the latter denotes the comparison)
Saying a pound is a pound is like saying a penny is a penny or air is air. It's always true, so why say it unless you have the given implied or put a qualifier before or after it?
In conclusion of my metaphysical dilemma, I say we must have the tolerance to assume people "meant" to say by volume, or else they are just babbling nonsensical stuff "A......Horse is a horse of course of course...."

Oh my philosophy teacher HATED me in college. By the end of the semester he wouldn't call on me any more. But he gave me an A- :devil:
AND YES! I took philosophy! I had to, I needed a 3 credit social sciences course and it was either that or (ick) psychology of personality *shiver*

People in the self checkout lane at the grocery store that start scanning their items and letting them go down the belt before you even have a chance to bag all of your items. OH and then those that are ahead of you that take 10 minutes to bag ONE item. I mean, it's not rocket science people!


When you are in the left lane, behind 5 slow people and the person behind you is practically laying on your rear bumper.....and you are trying to leave a little bit of room between you and the car ahead...and then the person behind you suddenly veers over and in front of you, in that little space you were trying to leave for safey reasons. OH, and they aren't any better off than they were anyway because there are STILL 5 slow cars ahead!!!

But maybe they do feel better because at LEAST they are ahead of YOU! :grumble:

The thing that annoys me is people buying scratch tickets, Just GIVE IT TO ME! I'll invest it or something, then cut you in for 1/2 the profit in 5 years. Scratch tickets have like a 1 in 4 return. That's insanity to me. You'd be better off going and playing roulette at least you have a 40% chance there if you play right!

The whole left hand lane stresses me out so. A year ago I was the driver that was so annoyed by people going slow in the left lane....but now four tickets later, I get annoyed when I am already going 5 over and trying not to get pulled over and people are riding my bumper.

That being said, I still understand that it is common law of the road that if you're going slower than the flow of traffic that you should move over and let others by. But now I am hearing that some cities by me may pass the law that if you are going slower than the flow of traffic, you can get pulled over. Yes, that means even if you are doing the speed limit. Like I said, I understand its annoying to other drivers and it impedes traffic, but I just don't understand how the police can pull you over for going THE SPEED LIMIT. Esspecially when they would just as quickly pull you over for being one of those faster drivers trying to get around the one going the limit. Ugh!
