Alright, I've lost 7 pounds since I started doing this, and I'm now seeing stretch marks that either weren't there before, or weren't visible.. :grumble:

How does this happen????

What can I do to make it STOP?

    I hope there is an answer!

    I just assumed it was part of the process for me now that I'm post-two-babies-living-in-there LOL.

    Well I thought all of mine had faded down to white. The ones I'm seeing now are red, like they start out in the beginning. I just don't understand how I'm getting them while I'm losing weight.

    Same thing is happening to me. I assumed it was because our bellies are getting smaller now? So the stretch marks are showing more? Same thing happened after I had my kids....

    I dont know where you all come from, so havent a clue if you can get this or not. Try and use Bio Oil it is great. My pregnant daughter uses it and she hardly got any stretch marks XXX

    It is happening to me too! My theory is that our tummys (or whatever body part) was stretched out so much that you couldn't see the stretch marks. So now that you are getting smaller....the fat behind the skin is shrinking so your skin doesn't have to stretch as much. Since it isn't stretching..you notice the marks.

    Use Bio Oil!!!!!!!!!!! It really works especially on new stretch marks. It is sold at Walmart and other pharmacies. :flowerforyou:

    I'm glad I'm not the only on this is happening to. I've been using vitamin E oil, but I will look into the other products as well.

    I noticed this the other night as well.

    I guess it's a good thing? :ohwell:

    It is because your skin is not stretching out the stretch marks anymore. The skin around them is beginning to sag and pull on the old stretch marks making them more noticeable.
