I went to the doctor yesterday and was told I’m 140 lbs.

I’m 5′6″ and am a size 4. Why do I weigh so much compared to other girls my height and size?

Muscle is more heavy than fat. If you’re in shape don’t worry about the weight.

Well muscle weighs more than fat, maybe you just have lots of muscles?

I’m on our lacrosse team and we have practice five times a week. I didn’t think it was normal to be this heavy though.

I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re having practice 5 times a week, you’re probably healthier than most people.

Don’t compare yourself to other girls. Everyone’s different

Weight is just a number. You’re relatively tall and must be in awfully good shape if you’re wearing a size 4. And what the other posters said about muscle tissue weighing more than fat is true - it’s a volume thing. So, ignore the scales. I’m sure your doc didn’t say it was a problem, did he/she?

My doctor just laughed when I said it wasn’t right. My scale at home says I’m 125, so I want to stick with that number! I just didn’t know it was possible for a friend that weighs 110 and me to wear the same size.

Then you just stick with the 125 number then! ;o)

Jeans are for waist size primarily…and it’s really just a number. Weight is distributed differently with each person

Attractivness measures how someone looks not a number that represents someone’s heft.

So just report it and ignore it then?
