    :-) I have them to. At my heaviest I was about 190 pounds (I never did like getting on the scale... so that's the heaviest I remember). Though I haven't been that heavy for a long time I still have MANY stretch marks on my arms. They used to really bother me, but one day (not sure why), I decided that I really didn't care anymore. I used to buy shirts with longer sleeves so that no one would be able to see them, but now i wear sleeveless shirts all the time. And even last week some girl at my job asked me about the marks on my arm (she literally didn't understand what they were). And without flinching/ getting upset I told her that they were marks that developed when I was really heavy, and though I'm a healthy weight now they will never go away.

    That's an awesome saying!

    I have stretch marks on my sides/love handle area and when my brother was younger (<10 years old), he used to say that I had "brains on my hips", which only meant that they were a smart asset ;)

    "Brains on my hips" Love it! :)

    Yes I have my very own bar code. Yes sometimes I wish I could scrub it away BUT the one thing that makes me OK with them is that the best 2 parts of my life gave them to me.. My children. since I was at my heaviest (208) during childbirth. I think your abs are rockin' it :) great dedication.. looking forward to seeing mine so defined soon..

    thank you ladies. It feels great to hear other people tell me they see it. I just recently noticed it on myself in the mirror and confidence has soared. You all look amazing as well.
