Ending Up With Stretch Marks After Weight Gain

Another thing that really sucks about gaining weight is stretchmarks. You think stretchmarks are only for pregnant women, but anyone that gains weight quickly or even loses weight fast can get stretchmarks. I have some around my waist. I've never had any kids, but I've gone up and down in my weight a lot over the last 10 years. They say the best time to try and get rid of them is within a year of getting them. Hopefully I'm not a lost cause because I don't know when they truly happened. There are all kinds of creams that help prevent stretch mark scars and help get rid of them after they appear. I've read about them for pregnant women. I would assume they would helpful for anyone though. I might check into it further. I'm hoping to lose about 50 pounds so once I get rid of my weight I definitely don't want stretch marks showing.
