Scared of stretch marks

[Bianca J 165]

I know I will try my best to tone up my body. I will be more active but I'm just worried how much excess skin I may have left or if my body will have stretch marks. Anything I can use to prevent that?

I'd also like to know. I know I'll be doing lots of weights to fill in the "sag" with muscle. I wonder if those wraps work.

There's no way to be sure how your body will be after. Some people have very little excess skin, and some have more. Do your best to drink lots of Water and moisturize your skin, since those are the best ways to keep your skin healthy and in good shape.

Water water water your skin needs water to rebuild cells and keep hydrated. Get that water in

Water, moisturizers and exercise. The rest is up to genes, I know my stretch marks will be around forever. Although I'm heavier than during both my pregnancies, the stretch marks from both are not going anywhere. I had two 9 pounders and my stomach was obnoxiously huge. My skin didn't recover 20 years ago, and they are still prevalent now despite my stomach being more less than 1/2 the size. I decided it was just not something I was going to worry about it because in reality, this old girl is never wearing a 2 piece bathing suit or a shirt that shows my belly.

But excess skin? Worried about that knowing it will happen whether I worry or I don't. For me it's arms and legs. I can cover the middle and the a good bra will take care of the girls. I'm trying really hard not to think about it. My energy can be spent on things I can control.
