Hi hun sorry to be so corrective but in actual fact muscle weighs exactly the same as fat! It's a common misconception amongst us dieters that muscle weighs more but it doesn't! I was surprised to find this out too! xx

Just found this thread (I'm a regular on the SW for 2010 one http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2210165).

Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound pile of muscle; but five pounds is still five pounds.

A woman weighing 150 pounds with 19% fat will look much smaller (and be much healthier) than a woman at 150 pounds with 35% fat. They weigh the same, yet the composition is different. Because muscle is more dense than fat the person with less fat and more muscle will look smaller.
