The statement 'muscle weighs twice as much as fat' makes no sense. Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? Muscle is <i>denser</i> than fat.

I know with some of my fat-loss females (especially the beginner strength trainers), it has been very important to let them know that their body composition can change without a significant (or sometimes without any) change in weight. I know the classic fitness adage goes something like, "muscle weighs twice as much as fat but takes up half as much space." While its not extremely accurate, I think it does put the exerciser in the proper state of mind concerning body composition. At my studio, we generally use girth measurements and we try on clothes we couldn't squeeze into before on a regular basis. If you do consider girth measurements a solid alternative (I personally hate skin calipers), what areas of the female body would be the best to regularly measure? Thanks in advance. Hey Lyle,
