Well,got on the scale today and I'm down 30lbs! I've got 73 more to go to hit my goal of 150.Thanks for everyone's inspiring stories that keep me going.
Question..is there anyone out there that has lost 100lbs or more that can tell me if the stretch marks ever fade? I hope the answer is yes! :)

Way to go!!! That is great! You inspire me to keep trying! Keep up the good work!

Way to Go! I have lost 36 and have 130 left to go. I have though lost weight before the wrong way (115lbs) and most of the stretch marks do go away. Those on your arms, chest and legs. The ones on you stomach and hips fade though they may not entirely disappear. Hope this helps, best of Luck!

That is fantastic- you should be really proud of yourself - stories like yours keep me inspired! Keep up the good work!

I also need to lose over 100 lbs. and was wondering about loose skin-does it ever retract? I've heard some people need surgery to remove it.
