Welcome Ms. Kim!

Sounds like you are off to a wonderful start with a great weight loss! Welcome to the forum!

I know that saggy skin can be a real problem for folks who lose weight very quickly. Even though it can be mind-numbing at times, it really is better to lose the weight slowly and then the skin has a chance to catch up as you go. Lots and lots of water and supplemental vitamin E can also help your skin stay in good condition and keep up with your weight loss.

I just don't know about stretch marks. I have a few from having babies but they have lightened up so much over the years that I don't worry about it much. Seems like having a tan over it really helps too. I am sure someone else on the forum has better answers about this. Welcome aboard and congratulations on your weight loss thus far! Cindi
