Stretch Marks are Just Battle Scars <3

I posted this on a different thread....because I finally got my ab line, but what I failed to realize was that my stretch marks from previously being overweight are clearly visible. Today I weigh 185 , only 20 lbs away from my goal weight :) I started off at last November at 267 lbs.

I have worked too damn hard to care about those stupid little marks on my belly. I love my body now either way <3 In fact they are a constant reminder of what I put my self through to get to this point.

I still have a little bit of lower belly, but otherwise I am happy to finally see the AB line !!!!!! I have never taken a picture in my swimsuit before...but I have no shame in doing it at this moment! I feel so accomplished! This site rocks!

    You have really done a great job, don't give a **** about those stretch marks. You did something that required more conviction than most people will ever understand ;)

    You should see mine! It looks like Freddy Kreuger had at my belly. Stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of. We all have them. You've come a long way and look fantastic!

    Well done. I have stretch marks all over my body (especially arms, shoulders and belly) and I've tried cocoa butter sticks to no avail.

    I've heard that bio oil works pretty well. Just bought some from ebay.

    Your stretch marks are barely visible! I actually dig mine. :)

    No cream or oil will get rid of them. Blame your genetics. I think you can get laser treatment done though to smooth them out and fade them. I am not quite sure though.
