I'm 23. I lost 101 lbs in a year 271 to 170.
I low carbed and worked out.(but It wasn't enough.)
I am discouraged to loose more weight because my stretch marks and loose skin.
My new stretch marks are white and were NEVER pink or red.
My whole torso is covered.
I've been using oils, mederma, and haven't had any results.
And after my weight loss and being at a stable weight..
they just spread and get longer or more appear.

So I bought a dermaroller, retin a. And vitamin c.
I take vitamins a c e and zinc.
I was wondering if anyone had any success stories?
I know most everyone will say time but I just want to feel happy
I worked so hard to loose weight and am depressed by even looking at myself.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

    You're gonna hate me because I'm gonna tell you to keep on going. You have made a wonderful accomplishment and should not give up because of stretch marks. I have them too and have decided not to bother until I'm closer to goal. I'm short so two pregnancies all my belly could do was go out. They are many but they are my battle scars and I love each one ( okay maybe love is a strong word) and accept them as part of me. I am going to try Maderma when I lose a little more.

    Your stretch marks are a reminder of what you have achieved and I hope you learn to love yourself stretch marks and all. I have not tried dermarolling and have not actually heard of it bit if you try it and it works, hit me up. Good luck and again congratulations on a fabulous job.

    Yea I want to loose at least 20lbs.
    It's just so hard to be motivated when I hate looking at my new body with disappointment.
