Stretch Marks

[goodgrl]

in the last year i have balloned out from the pill, so after christmas i decided to get my self together and lose some weight which so far is goo as i have lost 5.5 pounds in my first week but my only problem is that i have terrible stretch marks on my hips which i am very conscious about! does any body know a product or a vitamin i can use to get rid of them please please help??

Bio oil, get it from boots and rub it in. Worked for me!

Well done for the weight loss, but I wonder if losing that amount of weight in one week isn't too much? Most advice is to try and do it slowly, probably not losing more than betwe 2 & 3 lbs a week initially. I suspect that other than joining a gym and getting specific advice on toning exercises, it may be difficult to completely eliminate the stretch marks. I'm afraid I'm rather suspicious of creams and potions that are advertised to do wonders to skin. I'm sure none of them really work.

Palmers cocoa butter is good. It doesnt get rid of marks totally but it does make them less noticable. i bought it as i have marks on my legs but i loved it so much i use it all the time!!

change your brand of pill.

i have tried a few and they all had different effects, one made me fat, anotherone and i lost it, one made me angry, one made me hungry etc etc - worth experimenting

Thank you all for your comments! wendy s the reason for the big weight loss is that i joined weight watchers and its great you can eat all the things you want to but by using your points!! its not that im not eating its just that i am eating loads of the right food.

lollyhoney i have benn using bio oil for the past 2 weeks but they aren't even fading a little bit i will just keep trying i mught get some of that coco butter that might help!!

tigilou i think you are dead right about that every one has stretch marks but i just cant but feel so conscious!! i suppose i will just have to get used to them!!
