Hello, since I have started MFP i have lost about 50 pounds so far altogether and am very close to being at my goal (168, goal of 165). The problem is, i have stretch marks on a large percentage of my stomach. Any men that have lost a significant amount of weight have this problem and if so, what did you do about it?

    I have them from child bearing....;)

    my son has them from weight gain on his belly and from growing on his arms (muscle growth)

    vitamin E oil seems to help or so I hear or bioderm I think

    I personally don't give a flying *kitten* about mine...Not sure my son does either.....but I have bioderm just in case he does.

    You do whatever you would do for scars - surgery, live with them, or use lotions/oils to "lessen" the look. IMO, the latter don't work.

    A little bit of sun will make them look lighter.
    But don't end up with skin cancer. Just a bit of sun.
