Hi, Night_Shade!

First, I absolutely love your name because I'm such a nocturnal thing. Always have been...since birth, according to my mother.

Anway, to your question at hand. The extra skin will not diminish on its own. You need to do some exercising in order to tighten those muscles, which will in turn tighten your skin.

At the weight loss that you're speaking off, it doesn't sound like it will be such a difficult feat and won't warrant any cosmetic surgery. Just need to tighten, baby! LOL

And those stretch marks are from weight fluctuation. I've been on the yo-yo thing for years. Up and down, up and down. I've got the stretch marks but nothing that I'm too worried about. It's the cottage cheese look that's disgusting me. I need to lose weight and tighten my skin as well. I just started a low-carb diet, which means no more sugar! Ugh! So we shall see how that goes.

Coco butter really does have an effect on reducing those stretch marks. And can you believe they actually have lazers to remove those marks? You see, in the summer, when we tan, our stretchmarks don't tan, so they are very noticable. When you get this lazer surgery it darkens those marks so it blends naturally with your skin. Amazing what technology comes up with. Probably costs an arm and a leg though.
