Rough figures, and explanation behind the guestimates ;-]
I figure: My son is half my height, and 1/3rd my weight. Neither of us have much muscle mass, so that's a reasonable "twice the height" relationship.
I figure, a hefty muscled six-foot human weighs in at around 100kg, give or take twenty or so. So The Wuff is gonna be on the order of 300kg, give or take 60 or so. So... somewhere between 240 and 360, probably, given my figures, with a (guessed) standard deviation of 60, rather than anything more accurate. ;-]
Bear in mind that as you get larger, things like bones and muscles go -up- in weight, because they get denser to support the greater weight supporting them. Also bear in mind I've created a line by selecting two points, and then guessing - always a highly accurate method ;-] So it wouldn't surprise me to learn The Wuff weighed in at 500kg. It -would- to learn she weighed less than 250 or so, though - my figures are on the low side, and don't take into account the balloons....
Anyone else have some random figures to pull out of the air to dispute mine? I'm happy to discuss it ;-]
Edit:
Oh. And I'd put Sarah's non-furry weight at, roughly, 50-60kg at most. So she's putting on 3x her weight at least, and more like 10x...
I'm not really that talkative, I just think I have a lot to say.
