i definitely think my stretchmarks are more noticeable now than they were when i was 50 lbs lighter. maybe it's my imagination though...
What about the stretch mark lotion you can get at the store? I have used it before but never consecutively. I have a lot of stretch marks on my hips (hips are bigger than the rest of my body) they lighten up when I lose weight. Keep hydrated as your loosing weight and keep moisturizing.

Diamond phenster, active poster 2008-10. Have lost 45 lbs, 100 lbs, and need to lose 80 lbs this time. I have had 2 beautiful boys. 7/24/10+8/30/14. Working momma trying to get my body and mind back to a good health!
I have used Bio-Oil. I used it as directed and used the entire bottle. No results whatsoever.
My stretch marks are here to stay. *Sigh*
Has anyone used that bio oil? Sounds like its good and its a lot cheaper than strivectin
I have the most on my stomach its horrible it looks so bad![]()
I think stretch marks are there forever! There are ways to lighten them up but it's the elasticity of the skin (the skin being stretched and unstretched) so it's there! It's ****s because I have TONS! And they are ugly! But even skinny people have them....Tyra Banks said when she was modeling they would just put makeup on them. LOL!

Good night guys.
The only way if you want a quick fixed pertaining to stretch marks is surgery. similar to veins . {laser remove}
or if you rather a slower process by having them shrinked.
I use stretch mark avon stuff & cocca butter stretch mark stuff their fading a little
IT was made for wrinkles, but they have discovered that it does wonders for strecth marks. that is why it is so popular. also you can go on the site and find out more info.
The first time I had started it felt really warm on the skin. agood feeling 2 wks it started to shrink. behind the legs, arms and tummy. in the weekend paper at times there r sales offer cheaper. and at times penny asver.
what is that?

i had some pretty bad ones on my stomach and behind my knees before I lost the first 50lbs....and now the ones that were behind my knees I can't see at all....the ones on my stomach are very very light. I even have some that are very light on my chest. I can't stand them...but they're probably only noticeable to myself. I understand them making you feel self-conscious...they do me too..
If yours are really red they WILL fade...but as you lose weight you may get more that are red...but once your body has settled into losing weight they will fade. Be sure to use lots of cocoa butter lotion and keep moisturized and hydrated....stretch marks are caused mostly by dehydration.

Hello dear Strivex D sold at Macy,Lord/Taylor etc. 120-130 it is a big thing for the past yrs. it does wonders for me .
others may have a different experience, but for me....my stretch marks aren't going anywhere! the only thing that has ever helped me is tanning. they seem to fade a little, but they are still there. i don't think they are noticeable to anyone else because they become so light, except the ones on my stomach...they are there to stay.
