EWWWWW! Strech marks!
As I was taking a shower on Saturday, I found strech marks on my belly.:eek: Has anyone else found this happening too as the weight begins to come down? How did you deal with them?

Wendy, i haven't lost enought weight to see that yet. A long time ago I think I heard that coco butter helps with stretch marks.
befuddled2 |
some people just have skin that is less elastic too- that's why some women do get stretch marks from pregnancy and some don't.
but there are creams and such like the cocoa butter that are suggested- you might do a search on google or something to see what is the best one suggested. |
I will have to look for cocoa butter at Walmart later this week.
Thanks for the advice. |
Oh Wendy, sorry about your stretch marks. Do you think maybe they will get less noticable later? I got'em real bad from having 4 kids. First ones were so shocking. I know how you feel. Seems to me if skin is made to expand, it ought to shrink?
I am old enough now to have all these stretch marks, sagging chest, wrinkles on neck, celulite(spell?), brown spots on my face, and somebody's elses hands (mine couldn't look like this) you name I got it! :D Of all the laws we have in this world, that get broken....why oh why can't we break the law of gravity. :Scratch-Head: Froggie :) edited to add: about dealing with my body now...I just stand in front of the mirrow with my eyes closed or take off my glasses and I look great! :) |
Wendy~
I would rejoice to see those strech marks. Maybe not at your age, but an old coot like me, well it would mean loosing weight. LOL

Gaye you crack me up:D i will have to remember the take off the glasses trick, I bet I look marvaleous darling ha ha. I was looking at my hands and telling hubby that they look more like my moms all the time. My eyelids are getting that droop like my mom had too. My mom looked better at 70 than she did at 50 so I can only hope this will get better :winky: Sue
