ever seen fat bastard in the last austin powers movie?
stretchmarks (or 'kamot' in tagalog) are tears whithin the skin that results in scars on the skin tissue. if you were obese, you'll probably have a lot of these on different areas of your body.
does this mean your weight loss program is working? did you lose muscle mass or fat? what happens to the excess skin? surgery?
what's your take on this?

Good point. I think we have to consider how they appear first. I have no scientific or medical inputs on this issue.
Stretch marks appears when the skin is stretched beyond its normal elasticity in a relatively short period of time.
This occurs when you get fat suddenly, got pregnant or if you simply got more muscle.
Like in my case, I'm getting quite a bit of stretchmarks near my upper chest/armpit areas and my upper bicep...
I don't know if you can use this as a gauge for fat loss, but you can definitely say that at some point in time, you went through a stretch period. You can remain the same size since you've stretched the skin, it doesn't mean that you have lost any size or fat.

meron din ako... pero hindi stretchmarks eh... parang baliktad na stretchmarks... meron akong stretchmarks sa likod part na shoulders... sabi nila nakukuha ang stretechmarks kung bigla kang pumayat...
"kamots" shouldnt be a problem nowadays, coz of these lotions which are supposed to remove them ryt? i believe vaseline has one. saw the ad on tv. the big question here is DO THEY REALLY WORK?

i tried that na... hindi nawala eh... medyo naging lighter lang, pero nun naubos na parang ganun pa rin eh...
with time they will eventually fade into a lighter color but as far as I know t o completely remove thm you're gonna need some kind of treatment or operation.
