stretch marks-losing weight
Hi everyone

Recently I thought I'd make a change and started eating properly and exercising intensely, although I haven't weighed myself yet I have found myself to be much fitter and I also feel slightly slimmer. Anyway, something which I have noticed over the last few weeks is stretch marks appearing on my hips and uppers arms (sort of tricep/armpit area).
Is this a bad sign because I thought you only got stretch marks during fast weight gain! So I'm a little worried about this
Any help would be much appreciated

I have stretch marks on my thighs, bum and I'm pretty average: size 10
nothing to do with being fat or thin, just the elasticity of your skin
try bio oil- it helps to fade them
Thanks for the help guys(Original post by Chrisateen)
Same thing happened to me. The stretch marks your seeing was already there in the first place losing weight just made them visible
