Littler is heavier because....

[Guest guest]

Someone posted when I was first on the board that muscle weighs more

and this is an indication that healthy living and exercise have

tightened you up. So congratulations - you must be doing something

right. Tj

that is partially true... unfortunately a size 10 is bigger now than

a size 10 was in 1976 when i graduated HS. I had some size 9s stored

away from the ice age-- when i was a size 8 i thought OMG!! i am

smaller than i was in early HS!!! put them on.... uhhhh NO!! they

were as tight as a banjo head, would not even begin to button! BIG

bummer.... I bet could not even get those '76 size 9s past my knees

now!

(eating sensibly these days, but watching exercise on TV and hoping

to get fit by osmosis)
