I do not get how some people weigh less than me, but look sooooo much bigger than me????? How can that be possible?? I'm not tryin to degrade anyone, but I've noticed some people that look bigger than me, but weigh less and they are the same height as me....

    body composition.

    a 200 pound man with 35% body fat will look MUCH different then a 200 pound man with 12% body fat

    Its just a number, doesnt really mean much

    people carry their weight differently. One good tip to keep in mind is if you are a woman--don't match a guy's food intake bite for bite. Their bodies are different!
  • Its just annoying to think that I work my butt off, then people brag that they weigh less than me!! Ugh, I hate it!!

    Haha I know what you mean xD I knew a few girls who did the same.

    I cant wait till im leaner and more muscular. They may weigh less but at least I will look sexy as hell naked xD lol

    I feel the same way! People my height/weight tend to be a good 2 or 3 sizes bigger than me :\

    People can be denser too... bones and what-not... so you might be smaller but weigh more (my sister is like that). Also, water weight makes you look bloated and the way you dress changes your appearance.
  • Yeah, thats true!! I just need to throw out my scale, but I'm soooo attached to it haha :)
