Answer #1

yeah… stretch marks are really not noicable at all! I swear. and I have bio-oil for mine and it helps very much. and when you get a tann. you wont be able to see them one bit. my mom just showed me hers today and I had never noticed them. only you can really see them cause you know they’re there. but people cant noice them. take my word for it. :) and yes to the people above me that says stretch marks dont go away!!! theyyy do! :) I hope this helps! and for your weight. yeah I struggel with that too! and yeah it’s not that hard to fix. I have only been working out for like 4 days I think. and my stomach looks SO much smaller. and eat smaller portions of food. and watch the calories. eat less than 2000 a day. and only drink 1-2 sodas a day! IT WORKS! :D

Answer #5

Stretch marks can have a big impact on your self esteem. If you are worried about them, Honestly Cocoa butter is a waste of money, it will help to prevent future ones, but it will not get rid of the ones you have already. I have had stretch marks since I was about 13 when I went through puberty and thought they would never go away. Recently, I purchased a cream called “TriLastin” it is pricey, about $79 a bottle, you have to apply it about 2-3 times a day, but after about 3 weeks, (1 bottle) you will see a HUGE improvement. My stretch marks are nearly gone, and not only that but I have a chubby tummy and its almost dissolved…Honestly, try TriLastin (www.trilastin.com) It is the most amazing stretch mark cream in the world, they just fade and fade. I am a customer for life.

Answer #6

I have them too and i dont do anything about it, i go to the pool a lot in the summer time and i dont really worry about it too much, if people see it then who cares..i dont, i used to be the same way and mine are on my lovehandles and i just dealt with it.

Answer #7

It sounds like youve had alot to handle at your age and the last thing you should worry about is stretch marks. They make belly butter which is usually used for pregnant women but it really helps fade and prevent stretch marks. You can find it at Walmart and its not very expensive. Its either called belly butter or cocoa butter. I would say try that. :-) If they are very extreme I would also say consider Maderma. It reduces scars and stretch marks and is probably has a little more bang than the cocoa butter. Its a little more expensive but you can find it at walmart in the medicine department. I hope this has helped.

Answer #8

I know exactly what you’re talking about! I got them on my inner tighs, love handles and breasts a few years ago. First of all, no one really ever notices them! They’re just one of those things that you become very self conscienced about but people never notice them! Just carry yourself with confidence and no one will ever notice. Hey, you worked hard to loose that weight and you should reward yourself for it and feel great about yourself. 170 is a perfectly fine weight for your height. Some people use cocoa butter on stretch marks. It just keeps them moisturized and they will fade over time.

Answer #9

They usually don’t go away. That’s just the way the human body is. We grow and get stretch marks. Most people have them. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Stretch marks certainly should not be controlling your life. You have to realize that you’re more than just a body. We can’t fully control what we look like, so why bother worrying about it? Go live your life. Who cares if people see them? More power to you if they do.
