is there such a thing as heavy bones

[fairy_star]

i have just read someone using an excuse of heavy bones as to why the are overweight so want to know if this is true can you have heavy bones

It's got nothing to do with the size that someone is - but two people that look exactly the same size can differ significantly in weight.  I would imagine that bone density can also differ so yes I would have thought that you can have heavy bones.

thankyou for your answers and to be honest i know i`m over weight and dont make any excuses just find other people tend to

no i think that people can have heavy bones beacuse when i was a baby i was the same weight as this other baby and they were really big and i was tiny. but in a lot of cases i dont think that is an excuse for being overweight becasue you have heavy bones

A lot of the difference in weight between 2 people who look the same size could be down to their body's muscle content though - as muscle weighs heavier than fat. So it may be a case of having more muscle rather than having heavier bones!!!
