thanks everyone for your replys!! i will try using some of the stuff you guys said, cocoa butter, vitamin E, etc. Margo I dont live in Missouri, i live in Nebraska..pretty close tho. O yeah, I guess stretch marks can get on anyone, cuz i know this one girl, she was homecoming queen, like a size 4..skinny skinny, and she got a whole bunch of stretch marks cuz she had a growth spert! just to let everyone know that

Hhahah, i work at Subway too, in Pa, though. The thing with the stretch marks is normal. I talked to a doctor and he said because the skin was stretched greatly, that when you lose weight and the areas get smaller they have to shrink/form back to a new size...crazy right? tanning may help, or not because they can become even more noticeable. They are a pain I know....but I look at them as a memory of how big I was, and how much I don't want to be back there again. If you have any questions my e-mail is Selenafan@pa.net.......good luck hun!

cocoa butter dosnt help, and tanning can make them worse, i heard somewhere that even when you loose weight, you still get stretch marks, but they fade and soon you wont even be able to tell you had them!!

you can't ever get rid of stretch marks, once you've got them they are there to stay, but you can make them less noticiable, you can use cocoa butter to help
