I get the same reaction. I'm 5'4" and always weighed 110-120lbs in high school (all muscle), and now that I've put on even MORE muscle (and very little extra fat) to weigh 128lbs, people still tell me I'm hella skinny and don't need to diet. I think they're so used to how skinny I was in high school that they still see me as being just as skinny (I think I was around 26" waist in high school, now I'm Squeem-ing down from 27"). Honestly, I'm not looking to lose weight, but fat. I don't know how I only weight this much at my height with all my muscle weight.

My one friend is maybe 5'6", 5'7", and she says she weighs 135lbs. Holy crap I don't know how. She's the skinniest thing allover. I know she's got mostly lean muscle, but DAMN. I'm so jealous of her. >:/ She's a model, though, so it's no wonder she can keep so fit all the time.

Glad I'm not the only one..this always puzzled me. I'm 5'4" 143lbs and I don't look a pound over 130! Everytime I get on the scale I screech when the numbers get higher but people still call me skinny.

I'm 5'7.5 weigh 145-150 and most people say I'm really thin/skinny. Now I used to weigh 120, so I know where the weight has gone (ass, thighs and a bit to my tummy).

People with more muscle mass will look smaller. I always looked smaller than what I really was (having a big butt and chest does help). My weight has fluctuated over the yrs but I still wear the same size clothing.

I weight a lot more than I look. I think I have plenty of muscles and way, plus I carry most of my weight in my lower body.
