Yes, yes, I have definitely read all of the loose skin stickies on this site, but I just read that thread posted by the 16 year old who was worried about loose skin. Someone posted telling her that she has stretchmarks so her skin is stretched out and will be loose after weight loss, or something.
I was like, OH MY GOD. (I know, I'm being quite vain.) I gave birth in the end of January. I had got stretchmarks which look like a panther clawed me, on my hips, which I had gotten once before when I had gained weight a couple of years ago. Then again as I gained weight during pregnancy and my abdomen, where it connects to my hips (if that makes sense), stretched out. I didn't get ANY stretch marks on my stomach until right after I gave birth, literally, right after. Which I don't understand. After I gave birth, my stomach wasn't a taut, huge round buddha belly anymore, it was loose and soft, and literally the next day covered in dark pink/purple stretchmarks all over it. It looks DISGUSTING.
I have lost my pregnancy lbs and 10 pounds more, still got some more weight to lose, but my stomach still looks like I'm pregnant only floppier (I hide this by sucking it in and wearing those cute fashionable flowy tops)... anyway I was thinking that once I lost all the weight I needed to lose, my stomach would be flat again.
Does my stretchmarks on my stomach mean I have no hope of ever having a completely flat stomach??? Is it always going to be loose and paunchy-like?
