Q: I am female, 5'7, 167lbs. I appear to weigh about 140 lbs. How am I carrying this weight.

I am very curvy. My bust is 36" and not sure about my hips.  I have full buttocks.  Tell me how can I seem to weigh lighter than I really do.

Some people who have weight well distributed can appear slimmer.  Count your blessings - BUT - don;t feel so blessed that you gain wieght.  Even if your weight distributes well - extra pounds can put you at risk for health conditions.
