how does it occur if you lose weight to fast? that makes no sense. its called a stretch mark for a reason.

quote:

Stretch marks are a normal part of puberty for most girls and guys. When a person grows or gains weight really quickly (like during puberty), that person may get fine lines on the body called stretch marks. Stretch marks happen when the tissue under the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. Although the skin is usually fairly elastic, when it's overstretched, the normal production of collagen (the major protein that makes up the connective tissue in your skin) is disrupted. As a result, scars called stretch marks may form.

Settle down killa...you don't own shit.

It's because the skin has a certain level of elasticity, and if the body shrinks at too high of a rate, the skin can't accommodate, and stretch marks ensue.

I've trained enough people to see the results when they get better ideas than my instructions, lose 30 lbs in 3 months, and look like shit because of it. It doesn't happen with everyone, but it's not worth the risk.

you dont get them from losing weight is the point. your skin is like rubber. if you stretch rubber out and leave it that way for a long period of time it doesnt always show the over stretched marks. you then release the tension and it shows up. same with your skin. they were there from the weight gain but didnt "appear" to the naked eye till after the weight loss.

Well, i guess i mistakenly referred to stretch marks when i meant to state "the appearance of loose skin".
