Stretch marks! What the F?

olita420

How come some people are way bigger then others and have zero stretch marks mean while i gain 20 pounds and im covered. is there anything that really takes them away? i know exercise will minimize them but get rid of them completely? i always wonder about people like julian michaels and how she use to be a big girl but now has a solid bod but of course no nasty stretch marks to go with it. i mean did she gain that weight with no marks or did they just vanish as she lost? wat the F?

They are genetic, nothing makes them go away and a few lucky people don't get them.
Most (like mine) become more translucent and fade as you get thinner.

Ditto. Genetics. Either you're lucky or you're not. But they don't go away.

*sigh* yeah, genetic. 3 babies, each carried in a different position have made my mid section a road map. They will never go away, but at least I can make the jiggles go away.

I have stretch marks all over my sides and my boobs. I know that theres no way to get rid of them completely, the more weight you lose the more they shrink. over time they will become less noticeable. I know drinking a ton of water helps, as it improves skin elasticity. as far as making them completely go away, you can try creams, etc, but i dont know if theyll work

They fade over time..... Some people tan to reduce appearance. You can use cocoa butter to help fade them and I think there might be a medical procedure to help reduce the appearance....I don't think they ever go away Sorry.

well thats a bummer, genetics suck lol, lotions and exercise it is then...i agree with emberlure..even if we can't get rid of the marks we can at least get rid of the jiggle!
