Hey ya'll so I started the Insanity workout yesterday and I'm really pushing myself to lose weight. Another thing I want to work on is getting rid of my stretch marks. My husband told me of one of his friends who lost weight and got rid of his stretch marks. While that friend was losing weight, he would apply coconut butter to the areas where he had stretch marks and then cover it with saran wrap to make sure the lotion was absorbed. Has anyone else heard of this? Does losing weight even help with the appearance of stretch marks? Are there any other ways to lessen their appearance?

    I used bio oil on mine after i was pregnant and drank a ton of water. they are still there, but, the same color of the rest of the skin. you most likely will never get rid of them, but, you can make them less noticable by having them become the same color as the rest of your skin.

    There is no way to get rid of stretch marks without surgical removal of skin. They are a sign of permanent damage. They will fade significantly over time.
