Is it normal for new stretch marks to appear while losing weight? I've got 3 new ones on my belly yet I've lost 2 inches there in just over a month?

    They called *shrink marks*... just try rub in Aloe vera or vitaman E cream... that should help :)

    look at them as a badge of honour

    You worked hard for them and it shows you're making progress.

    IIRC the skin takes a little longer to shrink so in most cases the worst of them go away in time

    Not so worried really, just found it unusual to be gettin them while loosing weight, its usually the other way around! I've got stretch marks elsewhere from "growing up" (just a big kid now lol) so it's not a big deal to have a few more!

    Thanks for the info ppl

    That happened to me in my teens, I got some going upward on my thighs, like I grew too tall for my skin at one point or something.
