    a 5 pound ream of paper weighs the same as a 5 pound bag of feathers.

    Sure, but the feathers take up a ****ton more space...

    so, what you're saying is the feathers are muscles, then?

    Not in outer space.

    am I doing this right?

    The tight feel might be due to the lift your butt is getting from your workouts. Muscle takes up less space, but certain exercises lift and shape your butt.

    Because I like to be scientific:

    Human body fat: 0.918 grams per cubic centimeter
    Human muscle: 1.049 grams per cubic centimeter

    Water (@4c): 1.000 grams per cubic centimeter
    Water (@20c): 0.998 grams per cubic centimeter

    This would be why fat floats to the top of the water, and muscle does not.

    For fun take the amount of weight you have lost and divide that by 8.34.
    The answer is the number of gallons of water it would take to equal the weight you have lost.
    So 20lbs/8.34 = 2.398 gallons of water
    Picture how big two 1 gallon jugs are. Now remember that the same weight in fat would take up even more space.

    So, logically--
    - If she weighs the same as a duck...
    - she's made of wood.
    - And therefore?

    It kinda looks like you're just standing in a position that hides your tummy.
    No offense.
    It makes it hard to tell.

    maybe they shrank in the dryer? did you wash them in hot water? better yet it could be the aliens. i always blame the aliens when something's just not right.

    (this all sounds like a great reason for new clothes)
