Fat or muscle gain can stretch the skin...it is not from losing weight/size.

Strecth marks are caused from having to much body fat then your body is made for, but lose weight and they'l slowly dissapear

Vixy, that is totally not true. Stretch marks do not simply dissappear. You can get them from muscle gains as well as being over weight. How much stretch marks fade is genetically pre-determined, however you can help the process along by using several different creams and lotions. Vitamin E helps a lot, as well as cocoa butter.
