How do I get rid of the stretch marks?

[habitualhealth]

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.

AWWWW!! Don't let them get you teary eyed. Put your focus on the awesome job you're doing with your new lifestyle w/diet & workout regimen. There are always pros/cons to everything in life. (most everything i should say) If you losing weight and getting in shape warrants a few less desired marks on your bod chalk it up as you targeting and REACHING your goals. That's what it's all about too!

Feel better knowing you're not alone in the cesspool of stretch marks. (i can send you some pics....but i'd rather you keep your breakfast) I'm certainly no pro/expert...but can speak from experience (see above about the map of small countries)...BUT, the more you lose and maintain the consistency of working out....everything will begin to tighten up. Including those stretch marks. Now, I'm not saying they'll go away....but the skin will start to tighten up and hopefully will make you less insecure about them. Side note, not sure how it works...but the tanning bed really does help "minimize". Kind of tricks the eye.

Besides, who's gonna care about/notice stretch marks when you're walking around sportin' some BOB's? (<~~~big ol biceps) No more tears chica...

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?

I had a few on my and I bought this stuff called Stri-Vectin. It is amazing. It practically made them disappear but you have to put it on morning and night for about 5 or 6 weeks. You can also use it on your face for wrinkles and although I really don't have wrinkles just yet, I used it on my forehead(lines from scrunching my face in the sun) and also on my laugh line area and it's AMAZING!!! It makes your skin so smooth! Truly, no bull. It costs about $135 but I thought it was worth it....That's just me. I was somewhat insecure about the boob marks even though I've seen worse but they look so much better now if not non-existent Good luck!! and like everyone else said everyone has em' so don't let it get you down
