So I'm starting to get those wonderful stretch marks. Yay. But I have more than twice the number of them on my right side as opposed to my left side! Is this a really bizarre thing, or rather typical? I can't really see how it could mean something was wrong, but I'm curious about why I'm lopsided! *LOL*
Also, what kinds of lotions or creams do you use? I'm thinking I should start using something, but am not sure what to buy. Until I decide, I'm using this body butter that has shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter and aloe and a whole bunch of other stuff like that in addition to salts from the dead sea. Should I just use this till its gone and then get some other stuff or what?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
- The second thing is if you find that the area feels a little sticky or it sticks to your clothes, cover the area with gauze (for bigger areas) using medical tape to secure it in place, or a band-aid (for smaller areas).
This remedy works for stretch marks, all sorts of scars (including acne scars and blemishes) and any skin irregularities that you wish would disappear. Try this, I swear by it!! :)
I've used vit e for scars before. Not sure why I didn't think of it for the stretchmarks!
also i dont know if you have these products over there but "bio oil" in your bath is good thats what got rid of mine in the first place. and if you can find it somewhere "australian bushflower emergency essence cream" is also good. i suppose you could find it on the net somwhere. any way good luck!
i have a few stretch marks but not bad, and they are quite faint, not all red, so i guess its working for me
