I've gained some weight this past year and a half...i'm starting to lose it now...i have about 5 smaller stretch marks on my hip/ "love handle"....will they go away when i lose the weight?
or are there actually any "creams" or whatever that do get rid of them

Hate to say it, but I don't think so. Stretch marks are from where the skin is overstressed, and, once there, it takes something like plastic surgery to do anything about them.
My girlfriend started getting them on her belly during pregnancy, until she started using stretch cream, but the cream only slowed them down from getting worse, and,even after she delivered and got back in shape, they haven't gone away.

While you can't remove the few that are there, you can prevent any that may occur during your weight loss. Weight loss is sometimes the cause of stretch marks. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Cream for stretch marks with the pregnant lady on the bottle is good to use as well as Mederma. Both can be bought from Walgreens or Wal Mart. These products contain elastin which adds elasticity to your skin and in turn prevents stretch marks. God Bless You!

As a recovering anorexic, 90 pounds in 8 months is not a reasonable weight loss goal, that is almost 3 lbs. a week. I hope you are doing this under a doctors care. To answer your question tho, I went from 173 to at my lowest 86 lbs. My stretch marks are white like yours, not so deep, but I have stretched skin that sags. ( I have had 2 kids one being 8lb 10 oz at birth) I currently wear a size 4 and sometimes wear bigger shirts to cover the sag. Sorry I don't like it either but all women have a belly some just cover it better than others!

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

stretch marks are scars, they do not ever go away. You can minimize their appearance by using several different products available, but once there, they are there pretty much for life.

Nope! they are there to stay without some type of medical treatment to cover them up(I think some doctor's are using a laser)
