So, I'm down 46 lbs.... but just noticed today that I have gotten new stretch marks! and in a REALLY weird place.... the back of my knees!!! There's like 3 or 4 on the inside corners of both of my knees. Any idea what this could be from or why?

*Also, I've been on a plateau for about the last month, and am just starting to get out of it, (I blame my 21st birthday!), so there hasn't been any significant weight change in the last month at all.*

    Losing weight can give you stretch marks... stretching skin or shrinking skin, either way = stretch. Are you sure they weren't there before and you didn't notice? That's not a place you necessarily look too often.

    Yeah, I'm sure. I always sit with my legs crossed and play with this freckle I have on the inside of my leg (yeah, I'm weird, haha).... so I noticed today when I was doing it that there was a BRIGHT purple stretch mark jutting out and then started investigating. I'm sure it had never been there before.

    This just really has me upset right now :(
