Ne-ways because I was so huge my body streched out so much and now I'm left w/stretch marks. My skin is shrinking up so Im not all nasly and hangy but my streach marks descust me and I know it would ne guy if they ever saw then so no one will ever wanna be w/me this way.

You asked if it was your diet. YES it is your diet, the Atkins diet is not safe! Carbohydrates are your bodies preferred energy source and the ONLY source you brain can get energy from. Plus digesting all that meat and fat is hard on your body and can lead to diseases. Atkins is one of the worst diets, escpecially for people still growing. Just eat a healthy balanced meal, people need to eat from all the groups. and switch to whole grains,
And did you know "Dr" Atkins who made this diet up died from heart failure, hmm...

It wouldn't be a total waste before you had kids if you didn't gain much weight while pregnant. But the chances of that aren't to good, well for me they weren't, lol. Just keep up the good work and when the time comes, if you feel you want that done before kids, go for it. You will be older and wiser and you might wait to decide on the surgery when you know more about being pregnant.
I just thought I would add that I am kind of in your shoes, but pre pregnancy. I hate my body, im 26 and have one child and my body is toast! My husband still loves me no matter what, and you can find someone that WILL love you for you, not your body. I feel hopeless alot because I can't afford the surgeries, so I feel like you, what's the point of losing the weight. But I personally feel like I would rather be fit and thin with stretch marks and a push up bra, than to be bigger and uncomfortable in my own skin! Good luck to you, at least you have the motivation and drive to do what you have done so far, I haven't even gotten that far :o)

If a guy REALLY loves you, the stretch marks are not going to matter to him one bit. Wait for the right one, and you'll see! Congratulations on the weight loss, and don't get too skinney!

Well, thank God you are young and still have a lot of elasticity in your skin. You can get stretch mark cream at the drug store.
Keep up the great work!

you are far too young to be considering surgery, etc. stretch marks do NOT always "fade" however. i know, iv'e had a kid!
