Usually it's from gaining weight---the skin stretches, and if it stretches too much, you get stretch marks. You can also get them from gaining a lot of muscle. Body builders are usually covered with stretch marks.
I think every woman on the planet has them so don't feel bad. In addtion to weight gain and pregnancy, many women get some stretch marks on their hips and/or breasts simply from going through puberty.
Although they start of red or purple, they will fade to sort of a silvery skin colour.

I'm a male over 6ft tall.. I used to weigh 135 pounds, when i turned 25 i gained 30 pounds in a year, and i had stretch marks on my inner thighs and the sides of my stomach.. I look ideal for my weight.. but that fast weight gain gave me stretch marks.. They disappeared within a year..

Stretch marks appear with rapid weight gain. Not with weight loss.

you get stretch marks from gaining weight rapindly... its caused from your skin cells not being able to keep up with the growth of your body .... in your case you could be gaining muscle... muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less space

Yes, you can get stretch marks from gaining and losing. Try using palmers lotion it really helps. You can get it at any drug store or Walmart.

try a pasta less spaghetti by mixing shredded zucchini veggie meatballs and raw tomato sauce seasoned with a dash of zesty oregano
