Different people have different percentages of their bodies made up of
water. Babies have the most, being born at about 78%. By one year of age,
that amound drops to about 65%. In adult men, about 60% of their bodies
are water. However, fat tissue does not have as much water as lean tissue.
In adult women, fat makes up more of the body than men, so they have about
55% of thier bodies made of water. Fat men also have less water (as a
percentage) than thin men.

The body is made up of about 60-65% water so i would probaly say 78 pounds
d. Actually even more than that.
Depending on which source you believe, 70 to 90% of the human body consists of water.
