    ok i guess but i wish i could get rid of mine im 5'2 and 107lbs
    i have them on my bum i have no idea why!

    Going from a normal weight to ultra thin will give you stretch marks too, only they appear different. Basically any drastic change in the amount of 'volume' your skin contains can cause stretch marks. It's not always from actual 'stretching'. The reverse holds true as well...and shrinking can cause the same problem.

    I had 3 kids 3 years apart and each one of them gave me stretch marks in new places! Now that my youngest is a little over 2 years most of them have faded and if I keep a healthy tan they fade even more. Stretch marks are like battle wounds and when you can embrace them you can conquer all!

    I am only 19 years old, never been preggo, and I have white stretch marks ALL over my body (inside my arms, on my bust, sides, hips, inner legs mostly). It isn't very good for my self esteem, but these are my badges of honor and if I must have them, so be it :smile:

    My son calls them my zebra stripes...and I don't necessarily like them...but no one else seems to notice or care...I've heard a bunch of my friends complain about them and I can't even see theirs...

    I got ZERO stretch marks with my 1st pregnancy...I was so happy.....my 2nd was a different story!! He was over 10 pounds at birth, so needless to say, I got em!! Not too bad-mostly around my bellybutton, but they are there :(

    Just wanted to say tit's all about attitude. I got very bad stretch marks during my pregnancy and they will never fade away as it's already been 4 yrs. Since they cannot be changed and I'm learning to say F#@$ IT this is my body for better or worse and I'm learn to love myself.

    @ edensmummy I have done the bio oil thing & yes my stretch marks got extremely light but didn't fade away. but i will promote that item because if i had of used it twice a a day like the bottle says may be i wouldn't have them anymore. maybe i will give it another try.
