selectopaque answered Friday July 16 2004, 1:19 am: Muscle weighs more than fat, so I would say your not fat. If you don't look like it then why are you worried about it anyway? You seem to be comfortable with yourself. So why even ask the question? Especially on a site where you have five foot 90 pound girls telling you that you should just eat less junk food and work out. If your muscular and play sports and eat healthy, and don't think you look fat, then your perfectly fine. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]

S_C answered Thursday July 15 2004, 7:36 pm: technicly, that would be considered overweight
but because you have muscles, and muscles weigh more then fat, then it mite just be the muscles
if u look like ur not overweight, like if u have abs, and/or ur calfs and biceps are really strong, then it's just muscle
but since u also kno u don't look it, i wouldn't worry about it
but next time u go to the doctors for a physical, ask
Hope This Helped!!
go to this site, and look at ur height and weight, and it will tell u if ur over or not
Lizzy answered Thursday July 15 2004, 7:28 pm: poundage doesn't really determine whether you are fat or not, neither does body fat percentage because that also counts muscles. If you don't feel fat, you probably aren't, and muscle weighs about twice as much as fat, so if you are muscular, the weight is totally normal, or even good.

hErEtoheLp answered Thursday July 15 2004, 7:07 pm: techinally, yes, that is over weight. But if you're really muscular then i'm sure that accounts for alot of the weight. If you think you don't look over weight, then don't even worry bout it... it's what you think,that's what counts. [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]
