Stretch marks from weight loss?
Replies

Yes. I got them on my thighs from gaining weight and then from pregnancy, but they didn't become visible until I lost. My husband has told me that it's because I do so much exercise, so I tell myself that whenever I notice them.0

Bio oil works really well on my stretch marks.0

^^ Bio oil or cocoa butter will help them fade a bit.0

Two years ago i became unwell and the weight FELL off me over a period of 6 months. I went from a UK dress size 14, to a dress 8! And sadly i got a lot of stretch marks!0

I got stretch marks from being pregnant ( my tummy is a mass of them) and obv when i piled on the lb everywhere else. I got them all when i was over weight but when they stopped being so stretched the texture of them changed, and the colour. They seemed more noticable to me. I thought you only got stretch marks when you got bigger however who knows. I have been using bio oil on mine as i have been shrinking and its working a treat. They are still there and always will be but they are now a silvery colour instead of redish purple colour. Hope this helps xx0

I guess so. I didn't get a single stretch mark while pregnant, and then the moment I had given birth my stomach was covered in them. Same deal with weight loss I guess.0
