Why do I weigh so much?!?!?!?!


Question: I'm 16, I'm 6'7 1/2" and I'm pretty skinny.. Well I've recently aquired a six-pac and some muscle mass now but I'm still far on the slender side and I just realized that I weigh more than fat people.. I don't see how being a few inches taller than someone makes me weigh more... I mean I'm 175 lbs and I thought that was small since I'm skinny and this girl at my school that's kinda round called herself fat and I told her she's not (she really isn't, just curvy) and she said she weighed 200 lbs and I said nuh uh, I bet you're only around 180.

Well... she just about wanted to kill me when I said that and it turns out she only weighs 130... So I started asking around and the only people that weigh as much as me are the really BIG people and I want to know why..

Also, I wear a size 18 shoe but that shouldn't matter much since I take my shoes off when I weigh myself..

Agreeing with the first answer, muscle does weigh more than fat. Also, 6'7" is quite tall. You must be very tiny actually...my father was 6'1", and he was admitted to the hospital at 165 lbs. because he was really underweight. Don't worry about the number of pounds...it's your health that matters. You can also do a body fat test, I'd be willing to bet yours is quite low.

muscles weightsmore than fat...so yea...thats self-explanitory.

Size 18 shoe? Do you have to custom order them?
