YES!! Most women do as well as men.This is normal.Even my daughter who is only 25 has them on her hips.In any case whether pregnancy or weight gain,loss it creates stretch marks.I dont know whay stage yours are in but they do fade with time.Listen I have 1 daughter after her i had a set of triplett boys at 22,You cant believe the stretch marks i had but at first they were purple and now you cant even barely see them.Life is for living here is a great saying.Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving with a pretty well preserved body,but rather to skid in broadside thouroughly used up totally worn out and loudly proclaiming...WOW what a ride!!

I have stretch marks on the bottom of my stomach and breasts due to pregnancy and weight loss, as it caused by the weakening and breaking of deep layers of skin they are permanent I'm afraid but usually fade with time, Bio Oil is good i found it reduced the appearance slightly, i also dress cunningly so I can show off my good bits whilst disguising the stretch marks. Be proud of your body everyone has something they hate about themselves that what makes you unique x x x

Yes i have them. I had them before i had a baby on my stomach, the backs of my legs and my boobs were they grew quickly it really bothers me as they have now got worse since i gave birth. I hate taking my clothes off in front of my b/f i am now trying Bio Oil it apparently takes a few months to work tho i also use sunbeds which does help fade them slightly. I know that people say i will have them for life and will never go away but i just cant accept that and am going to try everything possible to get rid of them.

I got stretch marks on my lower back. And I only got them after I lost a lot of weight rapidly (and I was never pregnant). I never personally took the time or effort to reduce their appearance. My boyfriend doesn't mind them. They should not gross you out. Learn to live with your stretch marks cause no bio oil, tissue oil or cream etc garantees a 100% removal of stretch marks.

bio-oil is really good for stretch marks. They will never go away entirely but they will fade just like any other scar. I have them on my boobs after two children but they are fading after only 9 months so dont give up just keep them moisturised with a cream containing collagen and elastine or a cosmetic cellulite cream and they should fade to almost nothing.

most of the women do have it
it is normal and it actually happens from sudden loss of weight and the circly of losing and gaining weight and lack of exercise
but the fact that they do not dissapear but they might be less by some topical creams and also by some stechings that u can do easily .... so it is okay try not to gain more weight so as not to worsen it and do some stretching u will see the results as i hope so and i bet that u look wonderful in all the ways , donot u ?

You have stretch marks because of a hug weight loss, there are lotions that can help you get rid off them, for example check this out
PALMERS COCOA BUTTER STRETCH MARK LOTION, it is pretty cheap.
Also , don't worry much about them, many people have them , for example when boys grow quickly they have stretch marks on their back, my friend has even on his arms. Women have them when pregnant or when there is a huge weight loss. It is normal.

YEs i have strch marks but mine are white so you cant see them really. I used coco butter every time when i got out the shower and befor i go to bed for about 1 month and started to see a differance. Now i use it every day the same way and you cant really see them. Personal experiance.

To prevent stretch marks and scars effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks and scars at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/stretchmarks.html

yeh i have them. i think most women do get them at some point!! i have never been pregnant either but you get them from losing weight. i also got them on my boobs just because they grew really quicky. i use a really good cream for them. i didnt think it was working at first but it has definitley reduced the appearence of them. you should try using one if they are really bothering you....there are lots of different ones. Otherwise try not to be bothered by them. most of the time people dont even notice them!
