You wrote at 11:12:55 on Thu, 12 Aug 2004: 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. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/89/70kg |

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. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/89/70kg |
