Complicated title I know. :)

Just curious..was talking to a friend about this...
Hypothetically, if someone weighed 145 pounds at the age of 16 (well developed), would they look the same at the same weight at 25? (lets say the height didn't change)
I realize this can be very broad, but what are your thoughts?

    My answer is definitely a no. I say this, because even though I'm not at the weight I want to be, I'm currently wearing the same size pants I did when I was 40 lbs lighter (and still overweight at that weight) and it's all thanks to the inches lost through strength training. So I know for sure that when I do eventually hit my goal weight, that I'm going to look a hell of a lot better than I did when I weighed it back in high school.

    Depends, how you "look" sizewise depends on bf%. Not age.

    Gravity probably has some influence on this answer, male or female.

    Definitely not. Body composition changes, particularly if you've had kids!
