hey kat person, NO DUHR A POUND OF BOTH WAYS THE SAME. people say heavier for if you take the same amount of two or more things and one weighs more. though you are correct.

You shouldn’t worry about your weight at 140 if you’re 5’6-5’8 tall. That’s actually what’s considered “healthy.” Anything under that, and you’d be underweight. <3

I have always been a gymnast!! No matter how often I got compliments on my muscles or how often I could out-lift the guys in gym class, it took a while to be comfortable. I did have a few pounds I could have lost (and still could) but I didn’t like the number I saw. I didn’t always feel comfortable in front of my super skinny basketball player friends especially when they would talk, “oh I’m 90 pounds,” “I am 115,” “my older brother is 130.” My worst nightmare was them finding out I weighed 140!! But I love the sport and it kept my life and body AMAZING!!

Um muscle does not weigh more than fat. Muscle is DENSER than fat. So if you had a pound of muscle and a pound of fat, they both weigh the same, but you have less muscle than you would fat.

we don’t keep a scale in our house. it just stresses you out and your so worried about numbers . You can feel if your at a good place or you could stand to lose some weight. plus everyone’s healthy weight is different so it really isnt a good judge.

You’re totally right that one pound of muscle weighs exactly the same as one pound of fat–but those two lumps (one of fat, one of muscle) will be different sizes to weigh the same amount. Think of fat as marshmallows, and muscle as marbles–you’d have to have a pretty big bag of marshmallows to weigh the same as a kind of small bag of marbles. So you can actually be getting smaller while staying the same weight or even gaining a little. Make sense? Here’s more help: http://www.prevention.com/fitness/fitness-tips/does-muscle-weigh-more-fat
