stretch marks are from your skin being stretched and then losing weight so as not to stretch anymore, skin is elastic but can only go so far. get some coconut butter and use it every day it may not get rid of them but it should prevent more appearing

Stretch marks are caused when skin is stretched at a rapid rate either by gaining or loosing weight.\n\nIt is effectively scarring of the skin so is quite difficult to get rid of. However, you can buy creams to treat stretch marks and they do fade over time. The most effective and cheap way of treating them is by regulary using a really good moisturser to keep the skin supple.

unfortunately, stretchmarks are scars.  they will not go away.  you can however lighten them.  try rubbing cocoa butter lotion on them a couple times a day.  this will lighten them with some time.  you can also try maderma.  its a special cream designed for stretch marks.  you can buy it at walmart or and drug store.  im sure you can probably get it online as well.  just remember scars add character!!  the human body is full of flaws, but for that reason it is beautiful.

Actually you can remove stretch marks with cocoa butter. It comes in two forms,the stick, and a lotion. Then stick works very well! When beginning you might see the stretch marks darken but after that they will lighten and eventually disappear!

palmer's cocoa butter.\n\nyou will want to rub it in 2-3 times a day.  you should look for it in the tub.  it is thicker than regular creams.  the thicker the better.  it takes a while to disappear, but mostly my opinion is that the constant rubbing motion is what helps reduce the stretch marks.  we have had two children and no obvious marks, only a few in the hair line.  you can even find this stuff on e-bay.\nhope this helps.\ngood luck

No weight loss is what causes stretch marks

it just really depends on how stretched your skin is beforehand.  Some cheats, though.....do exercises that work your lower back and 'love handles'.  This will help with posture and help with appearence of a not-tucked-tummy.  Anything to stregthen your mid section.  Also, vitamin E can help tone your skin so it isn't so loose.

Stretch marks are a very common thing. Almost all girls get them when they develop, since it happens so quickly. Common places for stretch marks are breasts, buttocks and thighs, although you can sometimes see them around the belly after pregnancy. \nIf you look up closely, you will see that most men also have stretch marks (belly, bottoms and so on). Of course, aesthetically, they are not the most pleasing thing, but they are so common that anyone who said anything would be being a little silly about it. \nIf you are embarrassed about your stretch marks, and especially since they are on your breasts, try using a bit of powder make up on them when you wear a low neckline. It will basically hide them, and make you look as if you had spent some time sun-bathing.

i'm sorry to say this but, there is really no way to get rid of stretch marks.. using vitamin E lotions helps to prevent them during pregnancy but i'm almost positive there is no way to get rid of them once you have them.. i'm sorry! you might try a skin tightening cream.. it may help? good luck!

I have two children, and where my stomach expanded so much (I was real small before) I have alot of stretch marks. The coco butter theory didnt really work, i tryed - but there's a creme call Eucerin that I started using and it made a big difference, and also Tanning helps them (or the illusion of them). But before i had a few big ones that almost looked like scars and the eucerin actually faded them all the way gone

stretch marks, without cosmetic sergery, you have no other options. Fat legs imply that the rest of your body is rather okay compared to your leg. And if this has been so for a considerable period in your life, again without the sergery, you have very little options given that you're not going to starve yourself.(and even that won't help you.) for the stretch marks, if you want to fix it on your own, use vitamin E ointment. it may help the red marks turn skin tone by 3rd week. however, chances that the stretch mark will disappear is slim. The leg, you can help by speed walking or other exercises that require you to move your legs constantly at a certain pace. I really hope you achive your goals in losing weight and looking great. =) all the best.
