Yeah, I see something on my upper thigh - right side mostly and some on my left. I see they can be due to bodybuilding and losing weight fast..oh, well......
 
losing weight fast wouldn't cause stretch marks. you're skin being forced to expand quicker than it can the natrual way, is why you get strech marks. but they're probably from lifting and stretching if you do those. i have A LOT of them, but the old ones are fading, and the new ones make me feel like im acomplishing something! lol
 
Yeah i have discoverd a few over the past year, due to a little weight gain. I hate mine. If you lose the weight will the appearance of the marks go down a bit?or maybe even disappear?
 
haha I posted a thread about this a while back ago. Ive got em all over my chest, back of my arms, and back.....That pregnant woman cream works ok I guess...I just havnt been sticking to it lol....but ya, you're getting "too big too fast"...Job well done my friend!
 
I put on lot of weight over the last few years and i have maybe half a dozen on my stomach, bit of a pain in the ass, but it true about the pregnancy cream, it does work :eek:
 
stretch marks can be a sign of zinc deficancy. Other signs include white marks on nails, lack of appetite or appetite control, poor immune system, poor skin (including acne), poor growth (including hair) as well as emotinal and mental problems.

We need about 15 mg a day, but this varies alot depening on such things as age, prgenancy habits etc.

Stress, smoking, alcohol and frequent sex/masterbation (for men, semen contains a very high concentration of zinc) all deplete zinc.

Foods good in zinz are meats and shellfish (calf liver and oysters are the best), pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds etc.
 
Ive had stretch marks since I remeber which is like 9 or something lol when I started to really look at my body.. can it be something genetic? or maybe its just a result of fast growing?
my cousin has always had them too (in her breasts, mine are in my tighs)
 
I have 15 stretch marks on my back (large ones... across the full width) as well as on my hips, thighs, and rear end...


I've never been really overweight either.
 
info guys: stretch marks can fade but they do NOT go away. hint :use miosturizer everyday to help prevent them. the more elastic your skin is the less likely you are to get stretch marks. they aren't real nice to have and they never completly go away so its best just not to get them at all.

Oops, I meant is stretch marks the extra skin you're left with after you lose the fat and Does it go away by itself?
Click to expand...
Wow I just saw this... Strech marks are usually the exact opposite of that, they come from when you gain a lot of weight (fat or muscle) quicker than your skin can natrually expand. Causing what looks to be little tears in the skin. After a few years old ones fade to where they're almost gone, but if you stech the skin you can still see them.. The pregnant women cream with coco butter is the best..
