Yep... Sorry if Im posting in the wrong section but this is the most visited..

Anyways, Ive always had the nice, clear, not so obvious, blend in with the skin-type of stretch marks on my hips, thighs, backs of my arms, and on my umm..'chest area'... this is from, Im assuming, my glorious yo-yo dieting of the past 10 years of my life.. (since I was 12, basically) where I would gain and lose over and over..

Now that Ive hit my ultimate highest point in weight, also with this terrible achievement have come along some.... RED STRETCH MARKS on my belly just below my belly button..!!! Ive NEVER HAD RED ONES!!

This was pretty much the last straw for me being fat, and I decided to go back on the LC WOL... it really sucks that I let it get this far, because now I see this puppies every day.. Anyways, its a good thing that it took something that lame to jumpstart me back into doing something good for myself, such as losing weight..

NOW, the question, how do you all deal with stretchmarks? Ive been using an excellent emu oil and shea butter cream and it actually seems to be working on 'healing' them..(awesome incredible made from scratch stuff..!!) but does anyone have any other advice??

Sorry for my ramblings, Im tired, and the past few days I had kept forgetting to ask.. so this is what you get..
Thanks in advance..!
