Stretch mark creams dont work. Ive never tried them, but thats what all the magazines say. You can get laser surgery if theyre that bad, or maybe try a self tanner? How much weight did you lose? How did you do it?

Hmm, I had stretch marks on my stomach last year after losing a few pounds (maybe 5-10?) and they were there for a month or so, but then they disappeared on their own. I probably gained the weight back

There aren't any creams that will actually get rid of stretch marks, no matter what they say. Unless you don't want to go under the knife or have any type of laser thing done, the only thing you can do is wait for them to fade.

I've heard Vitamin E or cocoa oil helps in getting them to fade. Just poke a Vitamin E tablet and put what oozes out, on the stretch marks. Repeat until they go away.

Vitamin E is supposed to help with getting scars to fade, as well.

I have no idea. That's kind of strange, I've lost about 55 Ibs, and my stretch marks are slowly going away.

And how did you lose 55 lbs?! How long did it take? Damn I need motivation to get back on track.

Believe me, you don't want the kind of "motivation" that I recieved. This past December my doctor told me that I'm Diabetic and that I have to lose the weight, or end up taking Insulin shots for the rest of my life. I had a nutritionist, who put me on basically 5 grams of fat and 45 grams of carbs per meal. I stick as closely to that as possible. I've noticed that in my case, if I eat either too much fat or too many carbs, my sugar levels increase. Now I also exercise too. I walk 3 miles every morning.

Agh so do I. Seriously I think all I did today was binge and sleep. I'm eating an English muffin with butter on it right now. I'm starting to eat unhealthy crap at night again too. I think it's becasue I have been really depressed lately. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained all my weight back. I'm not touching the scale with a ten foot pole.

Uggh, I have stretch marks on the back of my legs and on my hips. I've never been overweight or anything like that... I think I got them because I've grown so dramatically in the past few years (I'm 14 and about 5'8)

My dad bought me this expensive cream which has worked a little bit. I don't knowww.
