my name is crystal and i am 152lbs and i hate it. All of my friends are very skinny and i got these HUGE breasts and i have always had a chubby face and i bad spare tire. But i am very active and have been exercising my ass off. Last year I dropped 42 lbs because I was bullimac and i got sick, so before my parents found out I had to stop and i gained like 50 lbs afterwards. Does anyone have any good stomache exercises or tips for reducing the looks of stretch marks??

we have great ab workouts that can flatten ur stomach...and running can help shape ur figure and reduce stretch marks. When doing sit ups, pretend a brick is on ur stomach, try to press ur belly button to the ground (suck it all in baby!) When u lift ur shoulders and head up, breathe out, when u come back down slowly, breathe in. I HOPE THAT HELPS!
p.s.-by losing weight and triming ur body, it draws less attention to stretch marks

Hi Crystal,
i have had stretch marks so long that i didnt even know they were stretch marks until awhile ago..i thought they were just part of my skin. Stretch marks dont really bug me that much. the way i see it is there are loads of other worse things that could be on my body. In the boob department i have no advice...im as small as small can be though my best friend is kinda in the same boat as you. She is getting a reduction surgery as soon as she possibly can. Until then...shes stuck with them, and doesnt dwell on them too much. On another subject crunches are GREAT for stomach toning. Good luck!!
