how much weight do you normally have to put on before you get stretch marks? And is it normal for them to be on your legs? (Mostly on my thighs)

It's probably different for everyone. Like someone women get wicked stretch marks when pregnant and some don't get any. I got a few stretch marks on my outer thigh and buttock just from growing as a kid- and I was never overweight.

Its not the amount of weight it is how much your skin can take.Some people's skin can stretch alot I have 2 kids and no stretch marks,But I have a couple friends with only one kid with stretch marks.Just use extra virgin olive oil and do it 3 times a day.Its normal 4 them to be on ur legs or somewhere that just means ur gaining a lil weight.Nothing wrong w/that.Im smaller and when u tend to be a lil smaller we get them places like our thighs or buttock I do have some there.The olive oil will definately work though.

I think it mostly depends on the person. Some people go through pregnancy without much in the way of stretch marks to show for it, and some people get them just from getting a bit chubby. I think it's normal for girls to get them on their thighs when they are growing, even if they are not overweight.

weight has nothing to do with it. I'm 125lbs and 5'3" now and i started catching stretchmarks when i was a lil twig about 90-100lbs at the age of 13. My heaviest at this height has been 3 lbs heavier than i am now. It's quite normal to have them on you thighs and buttocks. It all depends on where you gain weight. Some women catch them on their arms too. I found a product that's help fade them I don't think they'll completely go away. They are scars after all. It's called stretch renew. The downside......the price (90 bucks for a 2 oz jar). Mines are beginning to fade which i am so happy about. I don't think they'll completely go away but having them fade helps alot.

How much weight depends on your body but I would think about 40 lbs. But I've seen people who get them after 20 lbs. I've gained 60 lbs without stretch marks. It depends mostly on your body and how it carrys the weight.
Yes you can get them on your legs, thighs, buttocks, breasts, stomach.. anywhere there is excess skin.

it doesnt matter the weight, it matters on how FAST you gain the weight. Yes it is normal to get them on your legs, stomach, upper arms, chest. You can be 100 lbs. and if you gain weight super fast, like one lb. a day, you will for sure get stretch marks.

This might not be about ypu gaining weight. Like girls get them sometimes on there thieghs and boobs because you grow so quickly that yor skin can't grow fast enough to keep up. These will fade in time,.
