Hello. Many people are interested in this answer so I will give you the truth once and for all.

The truth is ye extreme weight loss can give stretch marks. But, if you are only planning on losing 25 pounds I wouldn’t consider this extreme.

Extreme would be anything over 50-75 pounds and even then the stretch marks would be minimal. Extreme weight loss more is for people looking to losing over 100 pounds in most situations and often times you will see many of these people with stretch marks.

The most important thing is a new healthier body!
