Just to clarify... muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. Rather muscle has less volume per pound than fat... i.e. five pounds of fat weighs the same as five pounds of muscle but the fat takes up a whole lot more space. Take a look:

Regardless, I wouldn't worry about comparing yourself to anyone else. I carry my weight well despite my short height because I have a lot of muscle and am very proportionate. However I also have large breasts and curvy hips & butt, and relatively small waist (hourglass) so I end up wearing large sizes to fit the curvy areas. For awhile my sister and I wore the same size clothes but she was probably 25 to 30 pounds heavier than me and I looked much smaller than her... just shaped much differently. Where she carried fat on her back... I had it in my boobs. Where she had wider hips, I had a curvier butt, etc.

Perhaps she worked out and had muscle weight.

Wow, Susan, I have got to take my hat off to you ... 205lbs lost!! ... That is absolutely fantastic!:bravo: I had to look twice at your weight loss stats because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. You must be so proud of your achievement ... I am so impressed. It makes me feel that it really is possible to lose the 55lbs that I need to lose. I've wasted so much time over the past few years ... I'm not wasting any more.
