    I have them too! I actually started noticing them before my weight loss but didn't really acknowledge them until I started to take care of my body, so who knows maybe yours were there before and you just didn't notice?

    Either way, the good news is: No one will probably even notice! And if you have friends who point them out, kick them to the curb! :P I have NEVER EVER heard a guy point out stretch marks or cellulite (I have my suspicion that many of them don't even know what they are lol).

    Stand up straight and show off your hard work girl! :)

    I was covered in stretch marks! Now they're all but gone. They're basically invisible after 2.5 years after giving birth, and no one can see them unless I point them out. No WAY I'm letting them keep me from flaunting a bikini, and you shouldn't, either!

    Puberty hit me like a Mack truck, so I've had them all over my hips and booty since I was 12. Didn't stop me from winning a bikini contest when I was 20. :wink:

    Thanks all!!

    I did some research this am and come to find out you can have them when you are heavy and then as you lose weight they will show up. So apparently this is quiet normal. they are right on my stomach and I think I was just surprised that even with working out I'm getting them. I did show them to a friend of mine today and her remark was "What stretch marks?!" so I guess maybe I was just in the right light and the right angle to see them lol!!

    Well I'm not going to let them detour me from my steady weight loss or, even rocking that two piece.. maybe even this summer... still fat and all!!
    You GO! Love your attitude.

    When I lose weight I'm gonna be perfect. I'm not going to have stretch marks or wrinkles or any flaws at all. I will be the epitome of walking perfection. That is all.

    You and me both, MCD.

    OP: you have a lot of weight left to lose. Stretch marks are a minor skin coloration difference, seriously not a big deal. Of all the things to worry about as you work your way towards a healthy weight, I think you should put it pretty dang near the bottom.
