Why does 10 pounds make such a huge difference?

[Anonymous]

I was 185 and felt fat, kinda chunky. I dropped down to 175 and now I'm lean and feel great.

probably has to do with density and mobility... I'm 200lbs "regularly"

but that's an athletic built from sports... the moment I start to actually workout more, not only the fat starts to melt, but also the muscle starts to build up, and it becomes more dense... and so going from 200 to 210lbs with more muscle mass or more dense muscles, that starts to feel HEAVY on me and I don't like the feel of that

I don't feel fat or chunky because I am not... but I definitely feel heavier and dense, lol... which is not optimal at my height or size, not for the sports I was into, lol

you probably have an "ideal" point in which you feel better for whatever type of activities you do in your life

People have a certain optimal weight. If I put on a couple of pounds I feel fat.

Dropping 10 pounds relieves about 30 to 40 pounds of cumulative pressure from your knee joints. That might have something to do with it.

Really? That's incredible. I did feel like jumping was unnatural at 185, felt weird

It's a noticeable weight difference.

Yes just a little weight loss can go a long way and make you feel better.

It shouldn’t feel that extreme, just noticeable

[jahaims]

Because you have a smaller frame

Wrong, I'm pretty broad and have bigger bones than most my height
