[quote=Anonymous]Yes, bone structure affects your weight. My DD's pediatrician discussed this with her when she was concerned about her weight. Bones can vary in weight in two ways -- the actual size of the bone, e.g. is your femur diameter larger or smaller, and the density of the bone which does vary across people. DD has always been heavy for her size. As a baby, friends would pick her up and be shocked at her weight. And when I'd pick up a different baby it was amazing how light they were vs what I was used to carrying. There is a lot of variation across the human species. I don't get why so many people seem to think we should all have similar weights.[/quote]
