Default Keeping ferm skin ? / No LC during holiday: still losing weight (wth?)

Good morning to you all,

I starting LCing nearly 2 years ago. After a weight loss that was slow
but regular, I started to input what I was eating in fitday (in april).
Since then, my weight loss has increased (my calorie intake was wayyyyy
to high before, but I didn't know it). I mean, I lose 1 lb a week in
average. That's great, but I feel like my skin is'nt following the
rythm. It seems to be less ferm.

I wondered if some of you had advice to give me to avoid this, and also
to avoid adding stretch marks to the existing ones.

Btw, I just came back from a 1 week holiday. I was a bit worried in the
end because my WOE had not been LC nor low cal for a bit during this
period (for instance, I had some waffles, pasta, bread, milk, jam,
chips, alcohol,etc... no kidding). The only thing I kept in mind was not
to go to sleep just after diner. I was waiting at least 2 hours, just
chatting with friends, or sometimes going for a walk.
Believe it or not, when I came back home, my ketostix still showed
traces of ketones.
The next day, I stood on the scale: 400g (nearly 1lb) were gone compared
to the day I went to my friends fo holiday. 3 days later (today),
ketostix are purple in the morning, and I lost 500 more grams (more than
1lb).
Do you understand such a thing ?
I can assure you my way of eating was not low calorie neither :-)
Anyway, back to the good habits.
If I could just avoid flask skin, it would be great. So I'm waiting for
your tips.

Have a nice day.
