Different people have different bone structures and overall builds, while muscle-to-fat ratio also plays into it, distorting the weight aspect.

I know that I look a good 10-15 pounds lighter than I am. Why? Because I work out and have more muscle than the average woman (a pound of muscle takes up a lot less space than a pound of fat, so I can look thinner while actually weighing more), and I have a curvier shape.

Therefore, my actual clothing size is larger than most people would assume that it is.

Uh huh. People consistanly misunderestimate my weight by 75 to 100 lbs.

Big bones and weight lifting in HS and college, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...
