This is not advice on how to vanish either one. More of an acceptance thing, really 
A lot of people who have lost weight have either stretch marks, extra skin, or both, afterwards.
I have a lot of excess skin (probably about 25-35lbs) AND a bunch of stretchmarks. That is okay with me.
I do not allow either to bother me. I do what I can with what I've got. At one point, I was trying everything to get rid of them but nothing ever worked. It used to upset me a lot but now I embrace my body.
I DONT CARE what anyone thinks about my body. I may not be "skinny" but I'm a heck of a lot thinner than I used to be
Sometimes the skin does get in my way (physically) but I don't ever let it bother me mentally. I've accepted that my skin and stretchmarks are part of me. I love myself more and more each day and I hope all of you feel the same. I know some of you may have A LOT more skin than me to deal with, but don't ever let it get in the way of you being confident in you. You are beautiful inside and out!
