Stretch Mark success

One thing that has always bothered me is my stretch marks, after losing most all my weight I was still self conscious about my body, my husband told me to go get whatever I needed to make me happier with myself, so I did some research on Mederma and figured I'd spend the $40.00 and try it out. Well 10 weeks later I'm proud to say I see a huge improvement.

    Best $40.00 spent, no lie!I learned I have no issue showing my stomach off now, yeah it's not perfect but I would never before wear a shirt that showed my stomach.

    Amazing results! I'm also very conscious of the stretch marks on my tummy. May I ask how old they are? I'm just wondering if Mederma only works on "newer" stretch marks.

    With my constant struggle with weight I have embarrassing stretch marks as well and I really struggle with my body. I've always wanted to wear a bikini and this summer would be the time to do so for me, but my stretch marks hold me back from wearing one. I am definitely going to be trying this out!! You look great!

    Awesome!!! I'm DEFINITELY gonna stock up on that! I just got a gym membership about 6 weeks ago, and am now down 15.7 pounds. I'm super stoked, and it has given me enough motivation that I should be at my goal weight by this summer. I'm already 1/3 of the way there. Stretch marks are my problem with the thought of a bikini. However.... with results like that, heck yeah! I can order some next week and be pretty good for June/July.

    Oh snap! I'm so glad you posted this, I thought I was stuck with my 22 year old marks from my pregnancy. This gives me hope :smiley:

    Merderma is actually meant for full-on scars, not stretch marks. If you are looking to recude the looks of stretch marks, I found Elastin3 worked the best for me for my baby stretchies. I don't have any before pics (I was too horrified to document it, they were BAD) but they're pretty much as invisible as they'll ever get, which you can see in my profile pics.
