I have a couple of questions about those icky scars. Do they appear only during weight gain, or can they also appear during weightloss? Also, how do you make them less visible when you already have them? Not just the new ones, but the old ones too. I'm olive complected, so when the old ones turn silvery, they tend to be more noticable.

Oh! One more question: is there any way to prevent them? I know that may be a dumb question, but I'm terrified that once I reach my goal I'll just be one big highway of strech marks!! EEK!
