Downfalls of weight loss

[gypsy]

Hi ladies of AKA and friends,
I'm not a member of your org. but I see that you all have posted some helpful things here.

Here's the situation:

I'm currently in a weight loss program and I'm dieting and exercising. I'm not on any fad diets or things like that. I'm doing this the right way!!! I've successfully lost 23 lbs. The downfall is that I'm starting to see STRETCHMARKS!!!! Now in my smaller day, I never had them. But I went to college and gained weight and it goes on from there. They come from stretching your skin and not having any or not enough elasticity in your skin. Does anyone have a similar story and how did you deal with this outcome? Is there a way that the stretchmarks can be decreased or DEMOLISHED!!! HELP!!!
