There are over the counter creams that you can use as you are losing weight to minimize the marks. Also, if you are losing weight fast, your skin is going to sag no matter how old. Some of it will rejuvenate. There are simple skin surgeries that can be done to help and are worth it. Most important drink water and moisturize like crazy, it helps.
The weight loss is more important than anything. Once you lose you will feel better about yourself and your confidence will go up.
Lastly, stretch marks are battle scars of a battle well fought.

If your worried about having extra skin with stretch marks if you loose weight, don't worry, just make sure you loose weight gradually and work out while your doing it so your body can repair itself while you loose the weight, your skin should tighten right back up and the stretch marks will hardly be noticeable, I lost 100 pounds a couple of years ago and I worried about the same stuff but I did a full body work out daily to tone my body, also I recommend Palmer's cocoa butter formula for stretch marks, it helps and also vitamin E oil.

Sorry yet you won't be in a position to do away with stretch marks (different than via elegance laser remedies) i might stop aggravating as almost all ladies (and a few boys) gets them as they 'fill out' over the years they're going to gradually fade. as quickly as a stretchmark has already formed, no creams or creams could possibly cut back their visual allure. assorted trials have been studied and no cream has been shown to artwork at making them disappear. this is purely a count of time... shop on moisturising however to help preclude extra ones from forming.

Increase the intake of foods containing Vitamin A, E and C like carrots, papayas, tomatoes . Also food rich in essential fatty acids like fish oils will help in growth of skin cells.You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks at the link below.
