Say it ain't so!

I have read about the benefits of muscle (burning 50 calories per lb) from many sources. This is the first time I've ever heard that it is only 5. Not sure I beleive this single source.

Regardless, I have read studies that the single greatest predictor of long term (2 years +) of weight loss success is the level of exercise. Those who work out w/ weights tend to be more successful than those that don't. If you doubt this, walk into any gym and look in the free-weight room. These people tend to be muscular, fit, and not overweight.
