does anyone know a good way to get rid of them? Or any products in particular?

    bio oil

    its expensive, but it works best I find.


    Although, im not using it until im totally done my journey, as I have a lot.


    but they do shrink, and normally turn almost the same tone as your skin after losing the weight.

    oh how I wish I didn't have a kid and have them at 24 and wish I could have found the willpower to do what I'm doing now and avoided them, but I am hoping they will just end up being a reminder of where/what I won't go back to...but ask me in six months.
    I am just starting this long journey.

    well i got stretch marks from having twins and they are pretty good i should say, im using it works stretch mark lotion and it has honestly faded them quite a bit i have to add my twins are 19 months old so it could be just my body fading them but ive had a good result from this stuff also, ive heard strivectin works wonders, if your really serious theres places that can do laser on them too
  • ThAnks for the help guys :)
    I think they'll remain battle wounds for now lol, but I'll try those products as soon as I reach my goal, thanks for the support :)

    You can't get rid of them your skin is scarred now, if they are new they will fade to a grey/white colour eventually. I have them everywhere.
