Bio oil, get it from boots and rub it in. Worked for me!

Well done for the weight loss, but I wonder if losing that amount of weight in one week isn't too much? Most advice is to try and do it slowly, probably not losing more than betwe 2 & 3 lbs a week initially. I suspect that other than joining a gym and getting specific advice on toning exercises, it may be difficult to completely eliminate the stretch marks. I'm afraid I'm rather suspicious of creams and potions that are advertised to do wonders to skin. I'm sure none of them really work.

Palmers cocoa butter is good. It doesnt get rid of marks totally but it does make them less noticable. i bought it as i have marks on my legs but i loved it so much i use it all the time!!
I havent got a remedy more of a moto i have got an a to z on my stomach from having my daughter so i say to all my slim friends with perfect non streched stomachs. YOUR NOT A REAL WOMAN TILL YOUVE GOT SOME!!!! it makes me feel better anyway. But i will be off to Boots tomorrow to get som bio oil to see what that does thanks lollyhoney

change your brand of pill.


i have tried a few and they all had different effects, one made me fat, anotherone and i lost it, one made me angry, one made me hungry etc etc - worth experimenting
