Just a quick question. I've always wondered if stretch marks "disappear" after a huge amount of weight loss. It seems like they do on the biggest loser lol!
Thanks!

    stretch marks cannot just disappear, as stretch marks are the collagen in your skin tearing. After a while, they do diminish though in color and size and will start to fade with time.

    Stretch marks never go away, unofrtunately =( I've used bio oil on mine though and it helps to reduce their appearance

    i lost 140 pounds and the marks were still there!!!
    I ended up having a tummy tuck to remove my extra skin and marks

    on biggest loser remember its a TV show they want it to look like a miracle show.. stage make up covers a lot of things.

    the ones I still have are very faded but I would not be caught in a two pc bathing suit
