Yayyyy!!! That's wonderful.
Actually, the stretch marks alone didn't bother me when I was thinner and my skin was generally smoother. But after gaining and now loosing weight, it's the loose skin, crinkly texture, etc. that really bother me.
Hopefully losing some more weight and improving my body fat % will also tighten the skin. If that happens, I can live with the 'tiger stripe' effect.
If not, I may start saving for some laser or lipo or whatever might help.
Glad to hear that diligent exfoliation might have some effect. I'm doing that plus massage right now, but I'm aware it will take time to see results.
