*sob* I read this thread hoping to see that someone else had them on their arms. I have lots on my stomach too but I have some from when I was a teenager on my underarms. They are white now but the skin is seriously damaged.

My boobs, my lower abdomen, and a little around my belly button. All from pregnancy. So even if I did lose weight I should never wear a bikini again. Thank God for The Suit.
I've got a couple short ones on each boob that I've had forever, my breasts got large quick around 8th grade. I've got a few short ones at the top of each thigh. The worst ones, the ones that make me cry when I see them in the mirror, at the long, angry red ones on my lower abdomen. When I gained 30 pounds in 90 days, I assume around the time my hypothyroidism developed, they formed. I hate them so much.

I have crazy stretch marks on my hips that are just blinding white. It's from all the weight gain and loss over the years and it's very pronounced. I hate if my hips are exposed because people 20 feet away can see my stretch marks. I also have a ton under my arms that wrap around my bicep. If I get a tan, my stretch marks are more pronounced and whiter. I hate my stretch marks.
I have them on my upper arms, which I didn't think was all that weird before this thread. Also behind my knees and a few on my belly - all from gaining weight and then losing it rapidly after college. I didn't get a single one while pregnant. Go figure.
Yes - simplyinpenguin you described my stretch marks perfectly. And I don't think a creepier sentence has ever been typed. Anyway, I recommend self tanner for that problem. I'm also thinking of trying coconut oil (only half kidding...)
