Hello all.Thought I'd motivate others around me and try to keep myself going too. I had gone down to 142 but have recently put on 7 1/2 lbs in the last 3 weeks.I feel myself slipping back into the naughty ways of bingeing so here I am trying to keep myself focused. I started at 184lbs in July 2010 and am now 149lbs.These pics were taken yesterday morning on 14/4/2011.

So ,here it is at 35lbs down with another 20 to go. Sorry havent got any body pix at 184lbs. Me and cameras weren't exactly on friendly terms LOL

For those who are also dealing with the grim reality of stretch marks after losing weight,please let me know what your secret is.I've been using a concentrated cocoa butter cream and it's helping a little bit in the front areas but not on my back. I'm just about ready to start trying weird concoctions if Bio-oil doesn't work.

EDIT: have removed the [ IMG] ...[ / IMG] coz it just wasn't working...you can still view them online,if you wish. Sorry to horrify those of a nervous disposition ie the strect (or rather shrinking) marks!!! :)

    i'm at 34lbs weight loss, can't wait to hit 35! also, i've got really bad stretch marks from my pregnancy and the mederma didn't help. it felt nice and moisturizing, but it didn't help my stretch marks.

    Hiya I've not heard of mederma.I live in England.Maybe ASDA sell it as something else? Either way I'm really hoping or something that works.I have a cream that is enriched with Vit E and it seems to be doing the trick.I've only been using it for a week and they appear so much fainter now...except the side ones.
