Question Ohhh another stretch mark question..

I've been losing weight pretty steadily since December, since I only started weighing myself in February I have no idea what my starting weight actually was..

While the stretch marks on my stomach are seeming to fade, I suddenly have red stretch marks on my way lower stomach area and out toward my hip bones. Has anyone ever had this happen? This is really frustrating.. I thought losing weight helped the stretch mark issue.

My best advice is to lotion up as often as possible. Lotion will help the skin hydrate as you are shrinking and help with the sagging. It doesn't need to be fancy or expensive- palmer's lotion is good enough and it's a few dollars a bottle at walmart

Oh the reason they are noticeable now is because the skin isn't stretched anymore. But hydrating will definitely help. Specially if it's got vitamin E in it
