My stretch marks have been fading as I shed the weight!! I also use an exfoliating soap in the shower everyday and focus on those spots using circular motions! I find it has helped a lot. I doubt they will go away completely, but when they are faded you barely notice them so much!

I had the exact same fear when I started. But then I came to realize that getting healthy and feeling good in the clothes that I wear - is so much greater of a feeling then fearing loose skin. Plus, I wear clothes everywhere - the only person who sees this body is my husband - and if he loved me overweight before, I'm sure…

That's great! And 7.5 inches is great for a week. I have weeks where, when I'm lifting and jogging - I lose upwards of 8 inches over my body! Keep it up! :)

Please keep us updated! And great progress by the way! Keep it up! :)

WTG! It gets a lot easier as you see the results from the self control! Keep it up! You'll be rewarded! And you'll soon KNOW that your body doesn't need those fast foods and you'll enjoy the homemade meals a lot more! :) :) Feel free to add me if you like! And again - awesome non-scale-victory! :)

Please keep us posted! :)

A cinder block!! :O

Lips! lol

Hi there! I have the same problem! Butttttt I have moved my workouts to the rowing machine for about 20 mins a day and have seen a BIG difference!! Maybe you can incorporate that into your routine at the gym as well! It works your arms, as well as the tummy and legs! Great cardio workout! :) Good luck and keep us posted! :)

Thank-you so much for replying to my post! That's the best advice I could have asked for! I do weigh daily because I wanted to get to know my body a bit better starting out! But I think I just might wait and weigh in two weeks time and see what happens! Thanks ever so much!! xx

Awesome!:)

Great dedication!!! :)
