Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 What happens to them after significant weight loss? Growing up I was very active, I lived on 8 wooded acres and played outside all the time. I also struggled with weight loss, trying all sorts of diets from the time I was 12 to about 17 when I finally just gave up. During that time I went up and down by about 30lbs, several times. So I have amassed a significant amount of stretch marks. Most are no longer bright red, and have become somewhat pinkish, but they are very long, wide and abundant around my stomach, sides and lower back as well as my biceps and thighs. What's going to happen as I approach my " perfect body " goals? I'm assuming they would be less prominent as my skin tightens to adjust to the fat loss...But I'm still worried I'm going to have an obvious reminder of my childhood for the rest of my life. I have a long term goal where I will be comfortable not wearing a shirt...but I'll be damned if my stretch marks keep me from reaching that...Yes, they are that bad, and that abundant. When I first started BFL I weighed an all time high of 292lbs. The last time I remember weighing myself before that, I was about 15 and 240-260lbs. And like I said, I was very active and my skin would itch deep down when I " played hard " which I guess is why I have so many marks. Any insight you all have would be greatly appreciated... Also, anyone using EcdyMax HP yet? EAS told me it was going on sale this past Wednesday (the 24th) I'm thinking of trying it once I lose some more fat, as I am having a hard time gaining muscle. I have read that Ecdysterone aids in fat loss as well as muscle gains. But it would probably be put to better use if my diet was geared more towards muscle gain instead of half and half. So I think I'll wait. Thanks everyone, -Steve A. C2W4D27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
