When you loose wt quickly your skin doesn't have time to "recover" and you end up all flabby. A reasonalbe wt loss goal is 1-2lbs/week. You will naturally loose more in the beginning, but it'll take more like 3 months, not 3 weeks. It takes time and dedication to loose it and keep it off in the long run. Set some small goals, 10lbs in the first 3 weeks is more reasonable, still a bit high, but reasonable. Don't look for quick solutions or you'll set up for garanteed failure. Look around this site and learn all you can about good nutrition and proper exercise. You're young....just start to eat healthy and get in some regular exercise, that is your magic solution! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
	2005/12/02, 08:37 AM completely agree with fly...your goals are too high...you'll be losing way too much muscle while u diet....aim to lose smaller amounts...1-2lb a week....each lb is 3500 calories u need to burn through exercise and/or nutrition........ Stretch marks are with u...there really isn't much u can do about them...there are a million bs ways to 'try' to get them to go away faster...but generally they just fade or 'lighten' over time where they become pretty much invisible...but don't let it get you down .....being healthy and in shape is what counts
