A member asked:
I keep getting stretch marks but i'm not gaining any weight. anything i can do to prevent it?

No.: Most of the time, the stretch marks are from gaining weight and then loosing it. Stretch marks are small cracks in the second layer of the skin, called dermis which happens when the skin is overstretched either by gaining weight or pregnancy.
