    My arms are still fat and have stretch marks (but the muscle is starting to peek out). I wear sleeveless tops and dresses all the time. I'm not going to spend my whole life worrying about what other people will thing of them when they're there for life and there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, as someone said, they're tiger stripes! Rawr!

    My brother has massive stretch marks across his back (not because he gained weight, he just got very tall very quickly) he still walks around shirtless ahha.


    I have them on my hips/thighs, too, I still wear shorts and bikinis and whatnot (although I probably shouldn't!) - no one has ever approached me about it.

    I thought pretty much everyone had stretch marks....? For one reason or another.

    And honestly, I know exactly how you feel. I have the exact same problem. I can't wait until my arms start noticibly toning. I've already lost an inch!

    There's a picture that I absolutely love. It says:

    "Your body is not ruined. You're a goddamn tiger who earned her stripes."

    Love your new body. You earned it!!!

    I mean this in the nicest way possible...I recognized your profile pic from your post the other day asking if your calves looked weird. Maybe the problem isn't muscular calves or stretch marks. Maybe you're just having a hard time accepting the "new" you because your used to the "old' you?

    Anyone in their right mind would look at you and think, "She must work out/be healthy/etc..." No one is ever as concerned about the minor flaws as the one who thinks she has them. You've worked really hard. Enjoy it by wearing what you like.

    Yup this is a huge part of it! The stretch marks I have had for years and have never accepted them. They just bug me. The calves are new though and gonna take a while to get use too. :)

    You'll be fine... I still wear sleeveless because honestly I could care less what anyone thinks. I live in the south and in the summer, you bet your *kitten* I will be comfortable.

    I have stretch marks all over my belly and I still wear a bikini in the summer time. I don't give a rats *kitten* who sees them.
