Because if you are like 350 pounds, then lose all that weight and get down to something even like 225 pounds, everyone is like "Wow, that guy is really motivated and looks great now". However if you are and in shape 190 pounds your whole life, then when you hit 35 years old and you balloon up to 225 pounds, every says "Wow, he really let himself go". So really if you are fat, anything you do after that is an improvement

grammar FTL... FIXED

Anyways, not always the case. Human Body Fat is actually quite dense compared to water. But if you take into account surface area, maybe this "myth" might have some validity. I do find that I sink a lot easier when I swim now that my body fat eprcentage is a lot lower.

you'd just float more easily. Muscle has a much higher density than fat.

thats probably debatable. Because fat people use more energy to do things like walk, etc. So you'd have to figure out how much extra you'd need to weigh above normal to make that beneficial

It's like the space shuttle!
