Stretch Marks

[MattH]

Hello, I am Matt and I'm 15 years old. I just started Atkins after a Calorie diet. After a year of 1,000 calories a day and running/working out I went from 325 to 227 lbs, the weigh came off but sadly the strech marks didn't. I always used to be embarassed to even take off my shirt, now that I've lost all this weight I still am because of the stretch marks. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas that can help me get rid of them? I don't want to resort to surgery but if I have to, I will. I just want to get rid of them so bad.

Thank you,
Matt

Re: Stretch Marks

You could try moisterising - Palmers do a great Cocoa Butter lotion, which a lot of pregnant women use throughout pregnancy to keep the stretch marks at bay!

So long as you dont mind smelling sweet for a few hours lol

But they will fade over time. You're only young, they may seem so bad right now but they will go, and in a year or so, I bet you'll forget about them!
