Stretch marks even though I'm losing weight?

This is really weird – I just noticed some major stretch marks on my thighs. If I’m LOSING weight, why in the world am I getting STRETCH marks? They look bad – like really dark purple.

I have stretchmarks.. I never lost a bunch of weight. I fluctuated in highschool and afterwards - i guess thats where the stretchmarks came from. Never been pregnant.

Yep, my stomach is covered. I didn't notice it until after I had lost my pregnancy weight.

I think some people are just prone to them when changing shape, regardless of whether getting smaller or bigger. My DH has a TON of them from when he grew as a teenager. He has always been a super skinny dude, but his height changed so drastically so quickly that his skin couldn't keep up.
