The answer lies within the physical property known as Buoyancy. This is the same as asking "Why does a steel ship float?"
To float 1 pound in water, you would need to displace 1 pound of water. This is because of Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. So you would need to displace enough water to counteract the weight of the 1 pound object and make it float.
On average, approximately 60% of a person's body weight is water. So for a 180-pound person, you would calculate 60% of 180 to find that about 108 pounds of that person's weight is water.
The weight of the neck of a 152-pound person can vary, but on average, it would be around 9-11 pounds, which is roughly 6-7% of the total body weight.
In water, a 100 pound person can effectively weigh around 10 pounds due to the buoyant force supporting their weight. The buoyant force counteracts gravity to reduce the apparent weight of the person.
To float 1 pound, you would need to displace 1 pound of air, which is equivalent to approximately 13.6 cubic feet of air at sea level.

The answer depends on the person's weight on Earth but each pound's weight on Earth would be equivalent to 0.376 pound's weight on Mars.
To calculate pound for pound strength, you divide the maximum weight lifted by a person's body weight. This gives a measure of strength relative to body size.

Same as if you were "fat". Clean healthy eating, regular cardio and strength training. A pound is a pound is a pound, whether it's on a thin person or a thick person.
On average, approximately 60% of a person's body weight is water. So for a 180-pound person, you would calculate 60% of 180 to find that about 108 pounds of that person's weight is water.
The weight gain from food is not determined by the weight of the food, but by the number of calories in food. 3500 calories of food are equal to about one pound of weight (of the person, not the food).
It can speed up your metabolism and make you lose some weight. The exact amount of weight such as a pound will depend on the person.
328 lbs

Certain WEIGHTS of bowling balls float. Bowling balls have a volume of 6250 cm3. An equal amount of water would weigh 6.25 kilograms. A bowling ball that weighs less than 6.25 kilograms--8-pound, 10-pound and 12-pound balls--will float. 14-pound and 16-pound balls, having a density higher than 6.25 kilograms, will not float.
In water, a 100 pound person can effectively weigh around 10 pounds due to the buoyant force supporting their weight. The buoyant force counteracts gravity to reduce the apparent weight of the person.
