The stretch marks are from gaining weight; not losing it. As far as reducing the loose skin, the best way to avoid it is to take the weight off gradually.
I know that's of no help to those of you who have already lost the weight . . . . .
My wife went through the same thing. Her pain doctor put her on methadone for chronic pain, and she ballooned up from 115 lbs to 185 lbs in just a few months. After a few years, she decided to get off all narcotics; once she stopped the methadone, the weight melted off her as fast as she gained it. That was five years ago, and she still has a lot of loose skin. Being older and sedentary from the pain doesn't help, though - if she could exercise at all, I'm sure it would help.
It's just the part of weight loss nobody likes to talk about.
