Can I get stretch marks from weight LOSS?

I have only lost a small amount of weight. I had recently gained a small bit of weight, but no stretch marks were evident. When I lost weight, stretch marks began to appear. Is this possible?

    Yes. I lost 26 kgs (It's about 57 pounds) and I had stretch marks all down my thighs to just above my knees. It's because your skin hasn't adjusted to your new weight. It stretched when you gained weight but didn't change back when you lost it.

    u can use detox diets to loose weight .The detox diet focuses on getting rid of the harmful aspects of our everyday diet.detox diets will help u to a great extent to reduce weight and be slim.Instead of eating 2 - 3

    meals per day, try eating 4 - 5 small meals per day, or 3 meals and 2 healthy snack meals.

    Food substitutions can help tremendously when trying to reduce calories and speed up the metabolism.

    yes. it's because when you gain weight, your skin expands. so when you lose the weight, your skin won't go back to it's original form
