They are still slightly there but you wouldn't be able to tell unless your searching for them

    It looks great! Congrats, However they didn't disappear.. you skin is just no longer stretched so much they are red. Im sure you have the little white/silver lines. Which are still stretch marks. Red/pink ones just mean they are fresh.

    This was my biggest worry, I have so many and was horrified, but this gives me hope even if they only change color, thats more than enough for me!

    Wow! Yours disappeared! That's amazing, and congratulations on your weight loss.

    Most of my stretchmarks are already silver, but I'm hoping with weight loss and increase muscle they'll be even less visible!

    They are just less noticeable. All stretch marks fade, they never disappear completely.

    Great work on the fat loss so far!

    Palmers firming lotion is really good for stretchmarks x

    Mine went from angry red stripes (at 9 months pregnant) to completely back at the same colour as the surrounding skin. So yes - the appearance can dramatically improve.

    Will they disappear completely? Unlikely. But they might get to the point where you're the only one who notices them (mine did)

    I had some stretch marks when I was in my 20's but they just went away after a while, can not see any of them even up close so if they never go away completely they eventually blend in well enough to not be seen.

    Mine faded A LOT! I used to be very self conscious of them and now I don't even think about having them. :D I promise... it gets better!

    Scars of life I try to view them as; I've experienced stuff and in their own way they are beautiful. Nobody else looks like me but me. :)

    You look great and have worked hard, well done.

    awesome job, mine have faded as well with weight loss and my obgyn prescribed this compound cream that fades them too. its expensive but my insurance covered a months supply for me and its been helping with mine.

    Great job. I keep hoping I'll be able to get my stomach looking better after getting in shape/losing the weight.

    Mine didn't go anywhere, but they are flesh toned instead of red now.

    I had some fresh stretch marks when I started, I've been using bio oil on them frequently and I realized today they have almost vanished - not in the way my older ones went silver and blended in, these news ones have turned flesh coloured and arent textured any more.
