So after almost 100 lbs chucked, I'm to the point where a bikini might be doable. Problem: stretch marks! Who's been here and where do I go, what do I do to get rid of, or at least minimize, my fat scars?

    Have you tried bio oil? It decreases the appearance of stretch marks and scars. From personal experience i can definitely say it works =)
  • I am interested in getting rid of stretch marks too! I probably need to tone up a bit before they are relaxed enough to fade, but I have a ton on my inner and outer thighs :brokenheart:

    I googled it and was all excited, but it is not available where I live:grumble: ! Haha. I wonder if it is possible to DIY a version at home from oils?? :noway:

    Ebay, friends abroard?

    Bio oil is supposed to be excellent at scar fading, the earlier you start, the better the results so I'd start using now before toning etc

    Mine are probably too old to see a benefit, came with my first pregnancy 22 years ago but if I start to get more once the weight starts coming off I will definitely invest

    Bio oil is great. I was covered after my first pregnancy, so I used Bio Oil from the start of my second and never got one new stretch mark and helped some in getting rid of the old ones.

    I need to look into the bio oil stuff. Streachmarks are getting really bad on my lower abs.
