Arrgggg.... STRETCH-MARKS!!

AllegraWilliams

So am I the only person in the world who gets stretch-marks when they lose weight?? I didn't have them before, and now they are all over my lovely lady lump. I've only lost 10lbs so far.


AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why???

You only get stretch marks *when* you lose weight. They are tears in the tissue below the skin's surface. When you lose weight, they are more visible because they haven't healed and the skin is lose enough to show them. You are not alone. I've had them on my inner thighs and chest since I was 12.

You probably got them when you gained weight, they just didn't show up till you lost some and the skin wasn't so stretched. Many of us deal with stretch marks, whether through pregnancy or weight gain.

They'll fade over time. You can also use vitamin E or a firming body lotion to help - I use Mary Kay's and love it.

How long do they take to go away using those products?

I have them... on my breasts, tummy, thighs, and tush. Thanks to my twins. I was 18 when I was pregnant with them. They are almost 13 now, and They are still as ugly as they were the day they popped up. I have not found anything to get rid of them. BUT I will have to try the mary kay stuff.
