Stretch marks from losing weight?!

I've lost a lot of weight, well not a lot but about 20 pounds and this morning i noticed stretched marks right where your underwear would sit! This doesnt even come close to making sense to me! If i've lost weight and they weren't there a month ago how are they there now! Has this happened to any...

I've heard that it can some times happen after a baby, that you don't get the stretch marks till after. I am so frustrated. Good by bikini no matter what my stomach looks like now.

    I have a few stretch marks on my outer thighs (never gained or lost much weight) and I'm pretty sure I've never noticed anyone else ever having stretch marks. I think maybe that means they aren't a big deal!

    Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm sure you look beautiful with or without them!

    PS- first gray hair at age 12! All of the women in my family have beautiful gray/white hair when they are older, so I have graceful hair aging to look forward to (I hope). My mom had gray hair most of my life and I think it's beautiful!

    I dont even remember when my stretch marks showed up.. boobs, hips, inner thighs, outer upper thighs, back of knees.. everywhere!! never gained or lost any crazy amounts of weight... i used to be sooo sooo embarrased by them but now i only really notice or care when my shirt comes up over jeans, which is weird i know.. i love being in my swimsuit and wearing shorts!! i fig, i cant get rid of them and im not overweight-who gives!!??

    someone said once-- stretch marks are the roadmap to your life. they start where you've been and go to where you are going!!

    I have a lot of stretch marks also and never gained or lost a lot of weight. I can't even remember not having them. I said to my FH today my legs looked icky cause of the stretch marks and he was like where? After 6 years he said he never noticed them. So most likely no one else will either. And like everyone else said, everyone has them!

    I have stretch marks due to my weight fluctuating amd having children. There on my stomach and thighs. I must admit dermelastic serum i was skeptical at first but due to it being on offer i was willing to give dermelastic serum to try.

    I have noticed an improvement in my stretch marks already they are less visible which i'm really happy with as ive only been using dermelastic for about a week. It smells nice and a little bit go's a long way. It leaves your skin feeling so soft.

    I had stretch marks from pregnancy and previous stretch marks from my weight fluctuating and my marks are lightening up already, I've only used Dermalmd Stretch Mark Cream for about a month and I'm loving the results! Oh and it's also good for dark spots on your face

    I recently gained weight and got red stretch marks for the first time in my life. I was devastated. I purchased dermelastic serum and started applying at night time. I can see them fading away more and more every day! It doesn't smell the best, but it works and that's more important to me.
