Stretch marks from weight loss?

Yes. I got them on my thighs from gaining weight and then from pregnancy, but they didn't become visible until I lost. My husband has told me that it's because I do so much exercise, so I tell myself that whenever I notice them.

Bio oil works really well on my stretch marks.

^^ Bio oil or cocoa butter will help them fade a bit.

Two years ago i became unwell and the weight FELL off me over a period of 6 months. I went from a UK dress size 14, to a dress 8! And sadly i got a lot of stretch marks!

I got stretch marks from being pregnant ( my tummy is a mass of them) and obv when i piled on the lb everywhere else. I got them all when i was over weight but when they stopped being so stretched the texture of them changed, and the colour. They seemed more noticable to me. I thought you only got stretch marks when you got bigger however who knows. I have been using bio oil on mine as i have been shrinking and its working a treat. They are still there and always will be but they are now a silvery colour instead of redish purple colour. Hope this helps xx

use skin tightening wraps that keeps that under control for me.

Myth. Stretch marks are scars and no "wrap" rids the body from them. You'll hide them from wrapping them with the wrap though.:laugh:

I guess so. I didn't get a single stretch mark while pregnant, and then the moment I had given birth my stomach was covered in them. Same deal with weight loss I guess.
