so basically, i heard you get stretch marks when you lose weight fast..
well i'm trying to lose a lot of weight, or even a few pounds.. but even if you do lose a few pounds..
how can you not get stretch marks?

i use cocoa butter lotion ..
but does bio-oil work for stretch marks too?

so my question is,
can you lose weight/fat quickly by not getting new stretch marks?

any tips, help??!!

THANK YOU !!

[Antz]

i think either way, you'll still get stretch marks.
stretch marks are inevitable.

i use cocoa butter lotion ..
but does bio-oil work for stretch marks too?

well apparently they do. i think i tried for about two times but got lazy and gave up. :x
so i can't tell if there's a difference :x

Depends on what type of skin you have...
My lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks and I didn't have stretch marks.

Maybe you can lose weight slowly, to lessen stretch marks.

[shinuko]

O_O eh how do you get stretch marks by LOSING Weight!?
i thought you would get stretch marks because you gained weight....?

[deportedkorean]

dont listen to the people that say you cant prevent stretch marks from weightloss

YOU CAN PREVENT STRETCH MARKS

just rub either cocoa butter oil/lotion all over your body after every shower (every day), and drink plenty of water (to keep your skin elastic, keep in mind that dehydrated skin is more prone to stretch marks). there are also stretch mark prevention lotion for pregnant women but regular cocoa butter lotion will do the trick. also, avoid caffeine.

i watched this taiwanese show called nu ren wo zhwe da.. and they talk about beauty stuff,

anyways, on the show, there was this lady and she was pregnant and she lost like 50 pounds in a month or something and she said she didn't get one stretch mark at all becuase every day she'd slather, and i mean SLATHER oil stuff like vitamin e oil i think.

the key is to just keep your skin moisturized!

thank you!!
yah.. well sadly.. when i did lose weight before.. i didn't think i would get stretch marks from LOSING WEIGHT.. so basically now i know.. lol

thanks again!!

[azn_angel]

well i heard exercising helps to reduce stretch marks when you lose weight fast ...?

[ilovejaejoong]

i lost weight fast and didnt get any stretch marks i drank a lot of water though. so yeah. deportedkorean is right ^^

[asianguyno2]

Yeah, you get stretch marks from gaining weight quickly. A lot of guys get stretch marks from doing too many reps on the bench press and the skin can't stretch naturally quickly enough to accommodate the muscle growth.

If you're really fat and lose a lot of weight you'll have extra skin....but I'm talking obese.

[jelly_pudding]

does anyone know what lotion or if bio-oil works? i haven't tried bio-oil yet.. but people say its good for scars...

[ChouChou]

i thought you only get stretch marks if you gain weight quicker cuz you're stretching the skin
i didn't know you would get em too if you lost lots of weight, i mean..you're not really stretching anything
kinda more the opposite

my bf has stretch marks around his arms cuz he works out a lot and they grew loads lol

[hitomii]

^ That was what I was thinking too!
I'm so confused T___T

[jelly_pudding]

yah, i'm confused too kinda..
lol..

you can try toning the fat into muscles instead of losing them? :x

[cjgohan2003]

My mom didn't get stretchmarks during her second pregnancy. She rubbed coco oil all over her belly 3 times a day while she consistently excercised to keep off the weight. And she didn't get a single scar

So yea, use coco butter, or better yet, roll yourself in a tub full of greasy oil

[jeshkaHH]

whattttttttt????? this is new to me.. i never heard of getting stretch marks when you lose weight!

[deportedkorean]

it's true you can get stretch marks if you gain rapid weight. just like pregnant women. anyway, ust something I must share with everyone affected out there. My wife is 6 months pregnant now with our first child. I still remembered the first time she noticed that her stretch marks during her 3rd month pregnancy. She was very worried. So she started using several stretch mark treatment products. Unfortunately none of them worked. Her stretch marks on her abdomen were getting worse by the day. Then one of her colleague suggested a product called Jojo E. (You can purchase this product; online at www.stretchmarktreatment.net). At first she hesitant to pay for this product as she was afraid it would not work, just like the earlier products.

But when we checked the ingredients of this product from their website, she changed her mind and wanted to give it a try. This is because this product uses 100% active plant extracts Jojoba oil, natural Vitamin E, safflower oil and grape seed oil. She googled and it was apparent that Jojoba oil that is rich in Essential Fatty Acids will help to repair and regenerate your new skin cells.

In fact, another reason why my wife now uses Jojo E Oil is because it contains only 100% natural ingredients with no chemicals that can change the texture and colour of your skin. Another plus point is that Jojo E is also non allergic!

After about 1 month using this Jojo E oil, the stretch marks on the abdomen began to fade out. It becomes lighter and less noticeable. She said that she can see the difference on her skin now. No new stretch marks have developed since then.

We therefore would like to recommend this product to anyone affected by stretch marks. Even though I cannot promise whether it will work for every person, it is definitely worth a try. Well if you check their website, they have a very special promotion now. They will give you 2 more special products for FREE. Get it now before it�s too late, it should work for you too. For the details about Jojo E, you can visit their website at www.stretchmarktreatment.net.
