    Default opinions please about stretch marks and losing weight after baby

    Ok i want to go audition at a couple places.. im debating on waiting or going soon.. also debating on nude or topless please help give me honest opinions ( i wont be offended i will feel you are being helpful) i am 5'2 145lbs so a little overweight im still working on it.. i started at 183 in march 2006 and took a excersise break june-nov in nov i was 166 now 145 the main concern i have is i have these stretch marks some kinda wide and long real low like right above my pubic area and small ones going up to my belly button they are all white blend in with my skin but still visible and some look a little wrinkly if that makes sense. also like 3 on each hip and then some light vertical ones like where my lower back and top of my butt meet.. Also i have had a laporoscopic surgery in 2001 and there is a scar from that that is small but makes like a dent on my lower ab. I know a tummy tuck would take care of the belly ones but i dont have money for that. Does anyone know if these bigger ones shrink as you lose more weight or do they get more wrinkly or what? im concerned about it if anyone knows please let me know.. are there dancers that have stretch marks like this or is just a few ok? My measurements now are 32, 29, 40 my thighs 24" at the thickest part and my calves 15" they have always been kinda big even when i was thin.. i tend to have alot of muscle here like when i flex my leg i have a muscle lump.. makes so its hard to wear certain boots does anyone else have this prob? and is there a way to tone this down? Please any info and opinions appreciated

    ok, i have strechmarks all over my stomach and i used to wear dermablend now i wear nothing and you can't even see them under the lights at my club! I would advise you to go to a club and lift your shirt.... go and see for yourself!!! Also about your weight, men like all kinds!!!!!

    My club has them All from tall to short,light to dark,fat to thick, slim to skin and bones.......i'm new to dancing myself and had a complex about certain parts of my body for years.....trust me when you start you will see yourself in a new light..........hope that helps

    honestly- i have strech marks from gaining weight and loosing it again. literally on my money maker (my butt) and i just use makeup- i got told last night that i had "amazingly beautiful skin" the lighting in my club is dark and you really can't see it. just go in with the attitude of "this is me like it or not" that helped me a lot.

    That's very true. I am still self concious about mine, though, and I used to use dermablend faithfully, and then I didn't have time to run to the department store and get some, so I picked up a Max Factor base stick. WORKS GREAT... and it's half the price of dermablend.

    I have seen girls who are RIDDLED with stretchmarks make good money. I don't think stretchmarks pose too much of a problem at all.

    I wouldn't worry about the stretchmarks. Club lights seem to make them invisible. However if they bother you a little sunless tanner can work miracles.
    Your measurements don't sound bad. Just make sure your not real jiggly anywhere (except your but, guys don't mind that). Strength training helps with this, & training right before you audition will give a temporary tightening to areas like abs and legs.
