stretch marks.

[nicolexox]

I'm 17 years old and i have lost 31 and a half pounds.. i still have 40 odd to go, but i was wondering if strech marks reduce in size/colour?

Something i am very self concious about, they cover my stomach and both sides and cross my back, they also, cover my breast area and inside of my arms

they upset me alot, and i am very self concious about them, losing weight makes me feel more confident, but they bring me down as they are horrible and discusting,

weight loss help?

anyone know how to reduce them

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

u should try bio oil love, im only 20 with bad stretch marks on my stomach been using bio oil for a while n they have reduced i colour and size. the only problem is its quite expensive... try using boots own brand it should be just as good...

and well done with the weightloss so far =]

i got terrible stretch marks when i gained weight, esp on my tummy..but those ones seem to have faded a lot. I also used the bio oil but again it will take time. And my friends who are like a size 8 also have stretch marks, so dont worry too much

I was the same, love.

Used BioOil & expensive Clarins stuff, but my only advice is that they will fade & not be so dark with time.

As someone said, doing some exercise will tone you up generally & honestly you do feel better for it!

Hon I was always very overweight from age of 11 and had horrible stretch marks. They are still there but they aren't red and visible and I barely notice them except on the tops of my arms, but I think only I'm aware of them! Don't worry they will go as you lose weight and if you have the bio oil too you'll be fine. X

thank you for all the advice ladies! xxxx
