Overweight people often mistakenly believe that their weight is due to large bones. This is an easily-disproved myth. The entire skeletal system of an adult female weighs an average of 2.8KG (6.2 pounds) and 4.0kg (8.8 pounds) for men. Even if a woman's bones were twice the size of the average woman (an extremely rare occurrence), this would only account for an extra 6 pounds.
