I've gained weight but not fat?
Okay, since school ended i've gained about 10 pounds, but I don't look any different from when school ended. When I ask my family and friends if they think I gained weight, they say "no."
I've tryed exerizing to get rid of the extra weight, but somehow I've gained more, but non of it is showing.
My friends are saying I'm overreacting and that they've all noticed I've gotten stronger since the summer began and that it's just muscel weight, but I don't know.
Do you think there right?

Well, i gain weight during the summer,too it doesnt show and my mucsles get a little bigger around my arms, it is probably just that, it dpends on how old you are, but you might just be growing so the weight doesnt show, it's nothing to worry about though.

Yes.
Muscle weighs significantly more than fat. If you've gotten stronger, chances are you have more muscle mass than you did. Lean muscle that girls get is more compact than fat, too, so you're probably the same size if not smaller. Take your measurements, and find out.
I'm the same way. I'm 5'4". I used to weigh 105, but the clothes I wore then fit me better now, and I weigh between 120 and 125. Of course, now I can also do 75 real pushups, and sprint at 12 mph.
See what I mean?
That's why people say "weight is just a number." You can't measure your size by your weight most of the time, and yes you could have easily gained ten pounds of muscle weight.
You're fine.

Muscle weighs more than fat.
So it's most likely the muscle weight you're seeing on the scale.
Don't fret! if it doesn't show, no one has to know!

im going through the same thing! but i think im just growing up & getting bigger; but that doesn't exactly mean fatter. so i wouldn't worry about it too much, just keep up w/ exercizing and it shouldn't be a problem. hope this helped <3
