stretch marks... good and bad?

nunchaku master

hi all! well as the title suggests i'm asking about stretch marks. Now obviously they are good in the sense it shows you are making real gains and increasing in size. However the bad point is that they DONT look nice at all!!!

so can you avoid getting stretch marks some how... or limit them?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Cocoa butter lotion, lots of water, and omega oils.

Failing that, HGH.... (lol)

FAT BOY

To be honest once you have them they are here to stay, although they do fade

like anything i think its genetic as to wether you get them or not, its like when women are pregnant some get coverd in them, while others who get realy big dont get any at all.

i dont think there is a bodybuilder around who is of any good size that hasnt got a few

The best way to minimise them is to make slow steady gains, or even weight loss give the skin time to adjust

Yes you can avoide getting them but you need to moisturise 2 x a day every day without fail.... Me: poor skin elasticity and as big as a house 9 months and 2 weeks pregnant; NO STRTCH MARKS...

I thought I post this reply in all appropriate threds in case it can help, and of course stop you spending money on expensive creams that don't work.

Here goes. Let me know what you think.

Ok Guys. Mind if a Girl butts in? I used to be an extreme fatty and have stretch marks everywhere from the age of 14, I am now 38!. Then when I got pregnant I knew I was in trouble as I wanted to compete again and I didn't want to get any more. Well I can honestly highly recommend BIO-OIL. It comes in 75ml and 125ml and you can get it in boots for £8.95 and £14.95 respectively. However I know a seller in eBay I get mine from and I get 3 x 125mls for £29 which is steel.

Anyway; I have throughout my pregnancy used this BIO OIL a few drops over each breast (sorry) and about 8 drops (and I mean drops) over my tummy and hip area. Which are the areas prone to stretch marks while carrying a baby. I have done this religiously for the last 5 months. I am now full tem and expect to deliver within the next week or 2 at the most.

Much to my surprise is this: The stretch marks I have on my breasts from being a heffer have more or less disappeared!! Yep I know. I can't believe it either. My tummy which is Huge (I think) has NONE. And I really mean that. Pictures available on request but it’s not pretty. So I can honestly vouch for this Bio-Oil. I would never use anything else. Because of the drastic improvement on my chest I intend to start putting Bio Oil on all my other stretch marks from my teenage years and see what happens. I’m quite excited. As a Woman I have been so embarrassed and ashamed of them all my life and now it seems there is a cheap option that works.

These were my rules: Drinks lots of water. After your bath or shower: within 3 MINUTES apply BIO-OIL to your most vulnerable area. Spend 3 minutes rubbing in properly. Do this at least 2 x Daily but always after every Bath/Shower when the pores are open/dilated. After this time frame it will not be absorbed as well.

I hope this helps. I spent years trying everything you can imagine. Some ridiculously expensive and they didn’t work. This is cheap, effective and it lasts so long for what seems like a little bottle you will be very surprised.

Hey; I should be a rep for Bio-Oil.

Good luck
