How do I get rid of the stretch marks?

[nycgirl]

Good morning everyone!!!

I've started this lifestyle in January and have seen awesome results. However, because of the loss of fat, my stretch marks are no longer in a concetrated area and appear to be getting longer. For example, they are no longer these little lines in a concentrated area (e.g., upper inner thigh), now it appears they are 4-5 inches running down my thighs?

How do I get rid of them?

You can't. They are there for good.

There are some things people do to diminish them, so they are unnoticeable, but they will still be there.

If they are still red, you are more likely to be able to diminish them. If they are already white/silvery, then it is very difficult.

I have heard Mederma works (and it is OTC, I think). Self-tanner helps too - to mask them.

I only got a couple that run down the front of my belly but are under the navel. So they are easy to hide....but I hate them!

I only have a cpl on the upper portion of my ass.
For having four kids I am not really gonna complain.

I agree 100% they SUCK.
I'd pay if there was a way to remove them.

i have them on my tummy after having 3 kids.
not complaining, just try to ignore them.

Looks like we all have 'em. After my belly nearly exploded (70lbs in to 9 months) oh yeah...stretch marks for days. I haven't tried it yet but i'm certain I could map out some small country with these bad boys.

I cried a little this past weekend because of them. I noticed the stretch marks that were once on my butt and hips, not look like they are on my lower waist and along my obliques. I can't believe I allowed myself to get out of shape. I'm going to get some mederma and cocoa butter this weekend.
