Anyone else "carry their weight well"?

It seems like my whole life I've weighed more than people realize, by quite a bit. And that didn't change once I became obese. Now that I'm losing weight, people don't believe me when I tell them that I'm still technically obese. I was talking with the guy I'm dating last night about the weight I've lost and he asked me what my goal was (150 seems realistic, I'm 5'6 and pretty muscular). He said that I must be very close to my goal...I couldn't tell him that I'm still at 185 because he obviously thinks I weigh quite a bit less. Then he says "well I know for a fact you can't weigh more than I do!". Again I kept my mouth shut because he's 180. I'm certainly not complaining about that fact that I obviously look a lot smaller than I really am, but how does this work? Can I be more dense than other people (not just in the head :-) )? I know that muscle is more dense than fat, but I've got quite a bit of fat still....I guess I'm not really sure what I'm asking. Maybe I'm just checking to see if anyone can relate. Sorry for the rambliness.
