I know, because fat is heavy and weighs you down.


Actually, fat is lighter than muscle.


It's still heavy, and it's dead mass, it doesn't do anything like
muscle. Muscle moves you around, fat slows you down. Take a person and
remove some fat, and you have a more mobile person. There is no
arguing with that.

Er, do feel free to point out where I argued that being fat was
beneficial?


Above.

And why would I be posting to a diet support newsgroup if I
wasn't trying to lose weight?


You were arguing before that excess fat was not hindering you.

If you think Bridget Jones was fat, then I fail to see any further point
in continuing this conversation.


Of course she was fat. Maybe not by fat acceptor standards, but by
athletic standards definitely.

Er...Annabel, if you'd checked the headers for crossposting before
sending your reply you would see you're not just posting to a diet
support group.

Fair enough... but then the OP should also have checked.

You might want to rethink and rephrase this statement. A pound of fat
weighs the same as a pound of fat. Did you mean to imply that a pound of
fat is larger in volume than a pound of muscle?

Yes, I did. Often people lose inches and then fret because their weight
has not dropped (which is why a tape-measure is often a better friend
than the scales), because they have burnt fat and built muscle, so they
are thinner, but their weight is unchanged, or has even gone up
slightly.
