    Every single person is different. Period. And what about those who lose lots of weight? This IS afterall a weight loss forum, not a ***** session about what kids do to your body. What about what major weight loss/gain does? Same thing for some people. The bottom line is those who do have wonderful "ab genetics" congrats. Do consider yourself lucky because for some, it does not come easy to lose extra skin. There is some truth to what this gal is saying, as I too have spoken with doctors and done lots of research and I would also need surgery. I am an avid runner and fitness instructor. And, I am probably one of the most diciplined eater that i know of. All about genetics people. Food plays a HUGE part in fat loss, even more than exercise but I know my stuff. i've kept 95 pounds off for almost 20 years. Last time I checked, statistically that is less than 5% of people who lose a significant amount of weight. So, therefore me and my stretch marks and lose skin, YEP, we are fabulous. :)

    Strong first post. :huh: :noway:

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I don't expect magic to happen by hoping the will disappear and I do not plan on having surgery to remove them. I know they will always be there.

    I was also referring to having a "toned" stomach and working for it with diet and exercise. I meant we'll see how the stretch marks and loose skin affect the overall change when I finally lose the excess body fat in that area, which is really the only thing in my control. :wink:
    :-)

    The loose skin may tighten up. You look young and that helps a lot!

    Most likely the stretch marks will become far less visible over time and make little difference.
