In reply to the discussion: I Don't Think Sports Illustrated is Buying the Girther Report [View all]BobTheSubgenius
(12,212 posts)17. I am 6' even.
I weigh more than I ought to or want to, at 240...but I do a big cardio circuit around our "neighbourhood" (in the larger sense) 4 days a week, and a smaller one on the other 3. I also do about 3 hours a week on the rowing machine. As soon as I get my pensions sorted out, I'm going to rejoin the aquatic center. I did several years of lifeguard training, and, even though that was decades ago, laps are second nature to me.
The point of all that being...I am in *pretty good* shape, for my age (65) and size, and there is NO WAY ON EARTH that he weighs less than I do, even if it's only a pound. I'd estimate him at about 285.

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound. Muscle is more *dense* than fat, so

Parse my words as you wish, but the other respondent implied that scientists used such terms.

It Looks Like the "8" Was Changed to a "3" in His Weight - It's Really 289, Not 239"

All jokes aside, the repeated lying from officials to benefit Trump is really scary.
