I think most women that have had babies have or had stretch marks. This post is for stretch mark remedies! What works, didnt work, and did workfor you? I was told while pregnant to cake on the cocoa butter or oil. I did and I got stretch marks, and though they are not bright red anymore, they are still there. I wont be wearing a bakini until they are gone! I didnt get them bad however while pregnant I went from a 7 in my jeans to an 11. Now 8 months later I am wearing a 3. woo hoo right?! NOPE!!!! I look alright but the strechies are still there! So, Now I am trying Murad, skin prefecting lotion. (supposed to be for the face for healing acne scars or the like) and my stretch marks are reduced in size (in my opinion). But I still see them. Any ideas or remedies?! 

You won't be able to get rid of stretch marks ever, sorry; That collagen and elastin are gone for good. Even laser surgery cannot get rid of them, all it does is reduce the appereance of the stretch marks to the point where there are not too noticeable.

I've never been pregnant but I do have some stretch marks from a growth spurt as a teen, I've never really put anything on them, but I do work out a lot to stay toned. The only time they're noticeable is if I go to the beach and get too tanned. I guess working out keeps them hidden in my case. 

sorry about the tmi. i'll take it off here. I'll try that. With my son though I don't get alot of free time. 

k removed! :) 

I dont think it was TMI, you were just being honest. IM sure a lot of women have been wondering the same thing but never got the nere to ask. I woulld leave this up someone may get some good advice.. you just never know tyhe response you will get since everyones views and perspectives are different. But every topic helps someone out in some way at least I think so..lol 

oh you already deleted it..lol 

Sorry, I'm going to nominate myself as the underground police: my duty is to keep the underground clean so no one will get upset and take print outs of the threads to anyone's unit...you know kinda like the new Orbit gum :p I'm just kidding :p

They have some classes at the gyms on posts. Someone posted something about zumba and I went to check them out and they are pretty fun. Some ladies even bring their kids with them since they let them bring the strollers in the gym. Not sure about the schedules but I think is online...somewhere.

Oh and I was just kidding about the tmi thing...trust me, that is a subject everyone likes to talk about! 

lol good one maryjane. Its also fun to read your post! 

o okay.. I dont remember what it said. something about sex life. LOL!!! I wanna know the classes. It sounds like fun!! 

I dont remember all of it either but it had to do with stretch marks and men...something like that. I'll tell you what Katt Williams said: Men don't give a damn about stretch marks, cause they know you got'em one of two ways, either you were small and got big, or you were big and got small, either way they're...well, getting it ;) So if your man tells you he doesn't care, believe him and quit worrying so much. Yeah we're women and we can be insecure, but if your man tells you not to worry then don't worry. All that time you spend worrying you could either be getting something slutty at VS or baking cookies.

Now about the gym classes, I've been spinning with Otis at Honeycut, Zumba and 3D abs at Reinheart. They have lots of classes. Funny though, most of the people in the classes are really slim...just an observation...Anyways, here is the link to the calendar
