I dont get it... I'm 2 inches taller than you and weigh 4lbs more and i don't look nearly as thin as you! Is there a spare tire hiding under your shirt??
You must carry a hell of a lot more muscle than me..

these pictures she is posting do not suggest a ton of muscle mass - if anything quite the opposite.

Well I'm stumped then

In the scale photo, there are what appear to be heavy flannel Trousers.

Suggesting that clothing may be a major contributor.

Holly whack me.

I just realized that the op is weighing herself fully clothed!!!!!!!

A "valid" weigh in is one where you weigh yourself naked, first thing in the morning, after using the washroom and successfully eliminating (not constipated), after you've zeroed/calibrated the scale and made sure it is on its usual hard/non yielding spot on the floor and that it has good batteries.

After at least a couple of days of normal (not extra) sodium, not after a day of vigorous workouts (i.e. muscles should not sore/hurting from your workout) and if your time of the month causes weight changes, then during the week that you normally weigh the least.

All this is in order to minimize extra water retention, which is why it is just simpler to use weight trending apps to evaluate weight trend level changes over time and for women who retain a lot of water to compare themselves to the same point of their cycle last month vs comparing themselves to yesterday or last week.
