Weight loss, Stretch Marks, and the dreaded bikini

I've lost about 7lbs since using MFP. I'm a mother of an amazing 3 year old who left me with unsightly stretchmarks. How bad is it for me to wear a bikini?

I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old, if my tummy was a little more toned i would def wear a bikini. I have stretch marks however to me they show my love for my boys. plus if your stomach is tanned it wont look so bad!!

You want to, you wear it!! They are battle scars and you should wear them with pride!!
If I could I would but I got a looooong way to go yet!!

Bio oil and rosewater help minimize stretch marks, but please, go ahead and wear your bikini. Every women gets stretch marks at some point, and if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. :flowerforyou:

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to work on getting toned, then maybe I'll feel confident enought to wear one, because I think confidence will be the main ingredient to pulling off...or rather putting on the bikini. LOL.
