This doesn’t sound like it would be accurate. Length doesn’t always = heavier. It’s body mass and not even obesity, but sheer mass.

I am confused by your logic or if you misunderstood the statement. Longer bones will weight more, hence taller people will weight more than shorter people, even if their fat index is the same. You do get that right? In general, not with every person, but a bone from a Velociraptor will be smaller than the bone of a T-Rex.


Again, denser bones are heavier. Individuals as previous PPs have pointed out will weigh more. Even if the bones themselves aren’t significantly heavier alone - add denser bones and body mass even at the same height there will be weight differences. The shorter person with short bones but denser bones is heavier.

LOL. Why do you think a femur that is 4 feet long will be lighter than femur that is three feet tall/long?


Bone density. The bone that is shorter could have more mineral volume making it heavier.

Bone density, also known as bone mineral density (BMD), measures the amount of minerals, primarily calcium and phosphorus, in a specific volume of bone. Denser bones are stronger and less likely to break.

There are scientific articles about this, the difference in bone width is miniscule between similar height people.

I cannot figure out how there could possibly be 200 pounds on that body


Please tell me this is from a magazine where the person knew it would be available for anyone. She does not look 200 pounds at all and she does look like she is strong and has muscle.


I can’t tell the width of her thighs, waist or arms nor if they’re muscle or fat or both. A profile shot would help.

Got to eat less to not gain weight


Wouldn’t this mean you weighed more than you look?

From looking at every skeleton in biology class and every documentary show about an archeological digs with human skeletons it's quite clear that is a myth. All skeletons have the same size range of bones. Some just have longer bones (taller) not wider bones. Some people do carry more fat when eating the same proportions of food as a person who carries less fat. But the why would that be answer for me is because of the thrifty gene hypothesis.

Uhm, yes it very much does.


Absolutely not. Where? I would easily have guessed she would be no more than 156-160.


Are we looking at the same picture?


Most people expect someone who’s 200lbs to be in a size 18/20

Why, yes! I weigh a lot solely because my bones are extra, extra heavy.

My wrist is much bigger than my friends, so yes they are heavier.

My hips, shoulder, fingers… yes they weight more.

Illona Mayer for scale has shoulders like mine.


Of course taller people weigh more.

DP and 160 was right where my mind went too


When I was 200 lbs I looked like I weighed about 170. But I put on a log of weight after a lifetime of intense training and have a lot of muscle. It's not because my bones are bigger.
