ok, here is my biggest issue ... having 2 babies, the stretchmark scars...I HATE THEM! I don't want to look at them for the rest of my life....but fear I have no choice.
I could get skinnier and skinner, but will still have to deal with ugly scars across my stomach...anyone know of anything that works to reduce them, if not make them go away???
I'd love to get into a bikini again someday....buuuut, stretchmarks will keep me from ever trying to.

    I love the Bio-Oil, and find it has already helped my stretch marks (aren't they the devil :devil: ).

    Have you just had your baby? I find my stretch marks have faded, and are not so bad, but now that I am losing weight, and the skin is "empty" that they aren't looking so hot.

    Good luck!

    seriously tanning helps!
    when i go tanning...you barly see mine!
    the darker i am....the less noticable!
    whe i was in beauty school...all the girls tanned to hide them!
    and it works!

    Yes, I do find this works, but the sun damage will worsen them over time - again, you can't win!!! I find a body bronzer is good for bikini season!

    I have them, but they don't bother me I guess. My belly is like a road map, though!

    Where can you find Bio-Oil...I have stretch marks on my inner and outter thighs. Nothing too severe, I would just love to fade em' a little

    I hate my baby marks, but every mark is worth it!

    Tanning and toning the body helps!

    That's such a great way to think about them!!! I'm a proud mom, and they're just part of the journey!!!
