"Muscle density is 1.06 g/ml and fat density is (about) 0.9\ng/ml. Thus, one liter of muscle would weight 1.06 kg and one liter of\nfat would weight 0.9 kg."\n\nAhh.. google answers... much better than yahoo answers. FYI, google is a good place to start any search.

easier as long as you realize that your weight will vary (due to water and muscle mass) and not get discouraged.  remember as you gain muscle mass, muscle is heavier then fat.

There is no such thing as 'true weight.' Your weight fluctuates whether you're on the mountains or in the ocean or on the moon; you can never have a true weight. However, you do have a constant mass (assuming that you didn't go on a diet or bulk up your muscles). Mass and weight are two different concepts.

You probably gained muscle weight.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  Unless you have been eating more of the wrong foods you probably are slimmer and less flabby.

yes but having muscle causes you to burn more energy, so it helps burn the fat. if you want to look better, or be a better athlete you dont just want to lose fat but gain muscle too. its not your weight that matters, but your fat that is bad. also diets can become less effective because your body learns to use less energy, but if you excersize, you keep using energy and it makes your diet more effective. do both.

Nope, not fat. If you have nice muscle tone that is a very attractive weight for your size.

LOL!  That sounds almost like me, except I am 53 and 5'3" and retired and children are grown up but I have 6 grandchildren and am caring for my husband who is ill.  \n\nThe answer is that it varies greatly.  It depends upon body structure, muscle to fat ratio (muscle weighs more than fat), genetics, etc.  Most charts give a range from about 120 pounds to 145 pounds.  I weigh more than that, but look less because I do weight training, and most people would never think that I weigh too much.  \n\nHere are some links that will help you.  Best of luck.  Don't stress about weight!!

Fat weighs a lot less than muscle. Your body is burning off the fat and you can notice that your clothes are getting loose on your body. I recall that in a class that a cubic foot of fat weighs about the same as one or two cubic inches of muscle. Other thing is to make sure that you drink plenty of water. It will flush out the fat and it will hydrate you properly. Weight is not the important thing here, it is the shape you are in.

Weight is just a number. I know not a lot of people listen to that but it's true. You have to eat healthily AND excersize. \n\nMuscle weighs more then fat. So lets just say you have 2 people that are the same height,weight,age and gender. And lets say one of them has 24% of fat and the other one has 33% of fat. The person with 33% of fat will appear bigger then the other one despite the fact that they are the same height,weight,ect. \n\nSo excersizing at least 30minutes a day doing...well...anything that gets your body moving, walking,jogging,riding a bike,etc. Will help and eating fruits,veggies,ect and only eating when you are apsolutly hungry. Also drinking water helps as well.

Because muscle weighs 3 times more than fat. You need to be watching your size, not your weight. What's good about having a larger volume of muscle, is that your body consumes more calories even while you are not working out.

Assuming you have some way of measuring body fat in the first place (skinfold, underwater weighing, bioelectrical impedence), you can find out.\n\n.32 * 205 = 65.5  lbs body fat.\n\n.68 * 205 = 139.5 lbs lean body mass (not fat)\n\n139.5/(1.00-.22) = 179 lbs (lean mass divided by what percent of the new weight it will be)\n\n205 - 179 = 26 lbs fat loss\n\nThis is assuming that you are trying to keep your lean body mass the same. If you wanted to gain a few pounds of muscle while you were at it, increase the lean body mass by a few pounds when computing.

Try not to weigh yourself for a couple of weeks and take your measurements instead , you should notice a positive change that way, muscle weighs more then fat but also helps to burn fat while working out, so now you are getting the muscle the fat will drop off sooner .

Sure!\nDoing all that physical work, you burned off a lot of fat. At the same time, you gained muscle. \nHowever, the amount of fat you lost is MORE than the muscle you gained. Therefore, even though muscle weighs more than fat, your weight stayed the same.\n\nExample: Let's say you lost 3 blobs of fat and gained 1 chunk of muscle. Let's also say that a blob weighs 3 pounds, and a chunk weighs 9 pounds.\nYou lost: 3 blobs x 3 pounds = 9 pounds\nYou gained: 1 chunk x 9 pounds = 9 pounds\nYour weight stayed the same.

It's hard to calculate just bone mass, you can calculate lean body mass, which is the mass of your organs, bones and muscle. \n\nTry the calculator below. Although it might not be 100% accurate, as it does not take into account frame size or variations in muscle mass, it will give you a general idea. HTH : )

It depends on your body compitison. One pound of Muscle burns more calories that one pound of fat. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn in a day.  The average 150 lb person burns about 1650 calories a day. But it depends on your activites and body compisition so it can vary greatly. Try using an online calculator to check for your self.

If you work toward building muscle and reducing body fat you will eventually tackle those trouble spots though, and develop a better physique in the process. Muscle tissue is active meaning it requires calories to be maintained. If you were stranded without a food supply, eventually your body would turn to its own muscle tissue as a source of nutrition first (muscles are protein) while saving the fat stores for last. Simply put, fat is nature's way of ensuring survival during times of famine. That's why the prevalence of heart failure kills someone who is severely malnourished. By building more muscle you become a more efficient energy burning machine which translates to mean you can eat more food! That to me is a good thing. \n\nThe More Active You Are, The More You Get to Eat! \n\nThat explains why some people can eat so much more than others yet not gain weight; your efficient energy burning friend simply has a greater proportion of muscle to fat than you. Muscle is more dense than fat. It's often said that a pound of muscle is heavier than a pound of fat, but the truth is a pound is a pound. What they mean is a one pound volume of muscle is a smaller package than a one pound volume of fat, or put another way, fat is billowy and fluffy while muscle is sleek and compact. Lady No. 1 weighs 120 pounds with 30% body fat so she has 84 pounds of lean tissue and 36 pounds of fat, while Lady No. 2 also weighing 120 pounds but at 18% body fat is carrying roughly 98 pounds of muscle and 22 pounds of fat. Would you rather be Lady No. 1 or Lady No. 2? Which do you think takes up more space, 22 or 36 pounds of fat? I'd say 36 pounds of fat would be a lot bigger package than 22 pounds. \n\nThat is why body weight as a number by itself is meaningless, but your ratio of fat to muscle is very important and worth working to change. Strive to decrease your body fat and increase your muscle mass and you'll look better, you'll feel stronger and more energetic and you'll simply be healthier. \n\nYou can generally have your body fat tested at fitness centers and most gyms so ask about having it done. It's better to know you have 30% body fat and work to reduce it to 29, than not to know and only think in terms of body weight. Most people who think only of how much they weigh tend to do everything to reduce that weight, and it's usually at the expense of losing more valuable muscle. \n\nThe best way to increase muscle and decrease fat is through a consistent exercise program. Start at whatever is your beginning, but do start. \n\nBegin with an overall body conditioning type exercise program, doing whatever you enjoy, whether it be a sport, gardening, weight lifting, biking, hiking, or any other activity. Any physical movement you do regularly counts as exercise even if it is doing laundry or taking out the trash. Get as much as you can out of every chore you do, and stop thinking of it as a chore but instead as an opportunity to move your body. \n\nIn the early 1900s a washing machine was a new invention. People used to wash their clothes by hand, and hang them outside to dry. Being a housewife was actually a pretty strenuous job. It's no wonder women were thankful for modern conveniences like automatic washers and dryers, but now we've come to where our daily activities are not taking our bodies at all, so unless we want to get fatter and fatter we must do something about it. \n\nGet Fit and Belly Fat Disappears\n\nIt doesn't make sense to drive around and around in the parking lot looking for the closest space when you're on your way to run or walk on the treadmill. Why take the elevator five flights every day at work and then pay a monthly fee to do the StairMaster after work? What if we all started to notice that our world is full of exercise equipment. We could become so much more fit if we'd just start to notice all the opportunities for physical movement we miss in the name of convenie
