    Well - they both weigh 5 lbs - one is very lean and the other not so much.
    5lbs of fat takes up more space!!!

    There are seriously many people who think that muscle weighs more than fat. I guess he couldn't resist! :laugh: At least your answer was a correct one. I'm just waiting to see who tells him the 5 lbs. of muscle weighs more than the 5 lbs. of fat! LOL

    YES! I need to see the answer... maybe we can get a good explanation here... because I think 5 pounds of feathers may be lighter... right? :huh: :bigsmile: :devil:

    :huh: Hmm I'm wondering though, does that 5 pounds of fat weigh as much as 5 pounds of muscle? :huh:

    Gross...and to think I have 80 pounds of fat more on my body....just this time last year!!! YIkes!!! This helps to push me to work harder to get the next 30 pounds off!!!

    Angievaughn, do you track your body fat percentage? Working the formula that lets you know how much of your scale weight is from fat and how much is from lean body mass, will let you see how much fat you are carrying and that amount isn't how much you need to lose.

    Explain?
