Before After

Stretch mark cream???

Ok..so we may not talk about this often but it's a reality. We probably all have stretch marks..be it before or after childbirth. It's when your skin reaches its breaking point, like when you pull on a rubber band until it SNAPS.

So..yeah..I have old marks from when I was younger so they don't show as much but man are they ever there!!! I've been doing some research on this and found a cream that *could* minimize the look and feel of them, even if they're old : Trilastin. www.trilastin.com . Ok, it's not cheap nor a miracle cure. BUT, it apparently has great results in under 4 weeks and has even greater results after a 6 month treatment. So what do you guys think? Should I go for it? =P

--------------------

As for weightloss, i'm not budging : still 169. I've had a great anorexic (Erg!) week last week due to the flu....had to force feed my poor self dry toast and soup so I wouldnt wither away. I had it real bad =( Now I think my beau has it....great..lol.. I'm still going to badminton and running, though. I even ran 5KM in 36 minutes last week. Is that good? lol All I know is I had a steady pace for 30 minutes and ran for my life the other 6 mins. hehe

I had a movie date at JF's condo last Saturday and it was wonderful =) Cozy and sweet. He's definetely different from all the men I've dated before....he's a sweetheart and respects me and wants me to know that he's interested by not moving things too fast.  It's actually nice for a change. I'm really starting to like this guy....and omg, you should see his condo!! My apartment looks like dirt compared to this. lol And *gulp* it was so clean. I'm starting to feel a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit intimated here. lol I'm gonna try to see him sometime this week..because..lets face it..seeing him once a week is DEF not enough ;)

*floats away* Hope you gals are having a wonderful day!!

Hey there

Sorry you had the flu.  No fun!    Glad you are feeling better though. 

It makes me smile to read you are so excited about this guy.   

I could seriously put that cream to the test.  As I've shared, my belly is a mess from stretch marks.   LOL! Does it come in gallon jugs? 

Ditto

Haven't hear'd of the creame but if it works I'm with gettinfit. I need a whole bunch of it for my belly. My daughter did a number on it. Luckly thats the only thing.  I've accepted them but if you find any solutions it's def. worth a try. This guy sounds like exactly what you need. A guy that takes it slow. It somehow always seems to mean so much more when you have time to really see a person for who they are and it also shows he respects you.

Feeling better?

I do hope you are feeling much better.  This "new" guy of yours sounds like a real keeper!
