okay so basically i work out everyday..my friend doesnt. we both weigh similar weights.
my questions are:
why does she look heavier than me if we're close in weight?
why do people who work out weigh more but look thin?
i feel fat sometimes because everyone is so thin..yet, i work out a lot so i weight, of course, a little more. everyone says i look good. but..idk..i guess it just makes me feel bad about myself that i cant be that thin because i want to be healthy and work out.
is there a way to work out and still like be at a low weight?
As for you weighing more despite being thin, it's because muscle weighs more than fat does. You're thin & in shape, but the muscle is what's making you weigh more. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

You are heavier because muscle weighs more than fat. I get how you feel. I used to run a lot and do a lot of exercise back when I was in a physical education class at school. Ever since I stopped taking p.e. I've lost quite a bit of weight. However, my muscles aren't as toned now and although I weigh less, I still look the same.
Your friend doesn't work out so even though she weighs almost the same as you, her weight is mostly fat. And you look thinner because you have less body fat and more muscle mass. I hope that makes sense. You definitely sound healthy so I wouldn't worry about the amount you weigh. When you are walking down the street, no one is going to see the number of pounds you are, but rather how your body looks.
