Q: Weight loss and stretch marks

Im 21...with an average to low metabolism. I've always struggled with my weight and Im sick of it and want to get in control. My problem is...working out isnt helping out much. So I guess I need to know some meals I can eat so help this process.

My other question is:

I have stretch marks on my stomach from my weight fluctuating all the time. If I do loose the weight I want...will I have loose baggy skin left over? Or will it firm up some? I know i'll never get rid of the stretch marks but I dont wanna go thru all this work if Im still not gonna look good in a swim suit. Anyone have this same problem?

My friend who'd lost weight did not have an experience with stretch marks except after she got pregnant and delivered her baby. Another friend who had stretch marks after losing weight, regularly massaged the stretch marks with oil. It's slowly disappearing;)

if you get in shape by exercising your skin should firm up. You don't have to do anything too extreme just try walking and doing a little weight training
