Just finally bought 50ft of webbing, 2 biners, and some other stuff, and set up a slackline. I've been practicing at the gym and am getting better, but every time I set mine up, it seems to get looser. I've heard that webbing stretches until it's broken in. If so, when does it stop?

Yep. Webbing stretches while set up, especially when new and for the first 5 minutes of setup until is really broken in. It will do that for quite a while unless you do something line load test it or get it wet under load and leave it up.
It's all part of the game, if you get the line "static" from long term use or abuse it won't feel as dynamic and is a good deal weaker (or at least from what I've read), so take the good with the bad.
