Stretch Marks!!


After being chuffed about not getting stretch marks so far - found some really horrible ones on the inside of my thighs after a bath at the weekend

Why do we get them there?? I couldnt think why as i dont feel i have put on that much weight in my legs atall

Yep, I have loads on my inner thighs, but I've always got them there from a life long of yoyo dieting! And also on my hips - where I didn't think I'd put on that much weight, but obviously I have!
