PREGNANCY STRIPES
I got pregnant for the first time when I was 19. I had never
had an appetite but when I got pregnant suddenly I was HUNGRY. My daughter
loved midnight snacks, cheese & ice cream. I had always been a skinny
size 0, 101 lbs so it was really important for me to have a Fat Healthy baby:
before I knew it, I'd gained 65 lbs. I had never been happier. I was round and
happy and I had that rosy 'Pregnancy Glow.' This was my first and I spared no
meal or snack. I ate everything & everything and sometimes I didn't bother
to get a bowl or plate I was so hungry I would sit & eat straight out of
the POT; large wooden spoon & all! When my baby was born almost 9 lbs I
knew I did the right thing
THEN CAME THE WEIGHT LOSS
I lost 15 lbs immediately after delivery. I was happy. Finally 150 lbs, I had
hips, curves & Boobs! Then another 15 dropped off. 135 lbs was perfect. I
was a size 6/8, and I wanted to stay right here. But the weight kept falling,
and so did my SKIN! To my horror my stomach began to sag and massive stretch marks
surfaced all over my skin. Hips, Thighs, Breasts. Stomach! I was horrified. No
matter what I ate I couldn't keep the weight and when I shrunk back into the
lower 100's my body was a mess! My breasts were flat & hung low like two
fish stapled to my ribs, my once beautiful waist was now a 'Waste' and Thighs?
Forget-about-it: I had stretch marks going down to my calves -- I could NEVER
wear shorts again!
HOPELESS?:
Could anything Save Me? Was there an all-natural inexpensive cure which
could heal my stretchmarks painlessly? As a breastfeeding mother having
something chemical free was important to me. 
ABOUT MY STRETCH MARKS:
I had deep indented white stretch marks
Dark purple stretch marks
Raised brown stretch marks
& Loose skin 
THE HURTFUL JOKES:
People thought my stretch marks were disgusting. Even though on the outside I
was slim again, under my clothes made me want to cry. In fact, I spent many
nights crying about my scars. I was only 20 and my body was destroyed. And
what's worse is I was SINGLE!; Which means I had no partner to love me as I was
as a testament to birthing his child. I tried to get reassurance that my marks
weren't that bad, but when I lifted my shirt ppl would gasp in horror. The nice
ones said they ‘felt sorry for me.’ Others said my stomach looked like
"brains"..."pop corn" a “deflated balloon” a “kicked-in
football” “garbage” “throw-up.” I heard it all. My self esteem was shot. I was
20, single, with a new baby and I didn’t think anyone would ever love me. For
years I stopped loving myself. Then I got pregnant Again…
SECOND PREGNANCY:
I gained only ~50 lbs for the 2nd pregnancy, and by now I didn’t care
about the state of my body. I called the Stretch Marks “Battle Wounds” &
figured it was the cost of being a mother. I didn’t think ANYthing could Help
me… my scars were Old; 8 yrs old, deep & (seemingly) permanent. Then came TonyaTko 
TKOSKIN PRODUCTS SAVED ME!
I gave birth in August. By September the marks were raging back. I still had
most of my babyweight and now I had new marks as well as the ones which were 8
yrs old. I was afraid they would be worse once I got skinny again! In October I
discovered TkoSkin.com products. Her skin looked beautiful, but could anything
help me? My sister begged me to try. She practically forced me. She even took
my monthly pictures. At month 1 I was still holding 35 lbs of baby weight so you
can’t see the full extent of how horrid & deep my stretch marks were. The product
was so soft and silky and melted right into my skin. Best of all it smells like
a Honey-Dipped Almond Joy, with coconuts cream! I used it as a moisturizer and
really didn’t think it was doing anything about my marks. My sister kept buying
me new bottles and stayed on top of me. Even though it was pointless I still
showed her my belly. Mainly to show her it wasn’t working. Still she took
pictures every month. Some months I avoided the pictures, it just all seemed so
fruitless to me. I can admit I wasn’t consistent; Remember, I had low self
esteem. By the 8th month my
sister said she saw a difference. I couldn’t see one personally. Then she
showed me the pictures and I nearly fell off my seat! I remember having stretch
marks, but my eyes couldn’t believe what I had seen! I don’t remember my marks
being THAT Bad! The change happens so gradually. I was using it and using it
and it felt really soft, smooth & hydrated, but it didn’t look that
different to me. Maybe because I see it every day, that the fraction of change
is too slight for the human eye to see. But it DOES WORK! TkoSkin products
changed my LIFE! I’ve started using it again and this time more diligently! 
ABOUT THE PICTURES:
Its important to take Pictures, I now
see: Because it’s impossible to see the change day-to-day. It’s just that one
moment you have stretch marks and a few months later you think ‘my mind is
playing tricks on me.’ Did I REALLY have stretch marks that were that bad?
Tonya says when she started using her product she didn’t know it would get rid
of stretch marks, just that one day someone said “Wow you don’t have stretch
marks.” She said “Yes I do.” But when she looked down she didn’t have any, and
the SAME thing Happened to Me! Someone said “Wow April you’re really Lucky.”
And I’m like “Lucky??” Then I look down and from afar you can NOT see my marks.
When I look in the mirror I can’t see them hardly! If my sis had not taken ‘before’ pictures of
me, even I wouldn’t believe! I see those old pictures and I cry. That is NOT
me! That was NOT ME. I don’t know why I spent 8 yrs suffering unnecessarily!
BEAUTIFUL SKIN:
Not only did TkoSkin product diminish my marks, it also helped my skin. It’s
now so smooth, supple & pretty. Even the complexion of my belly is rich
& healthy! I don’t know what Magic TonyaTko
is mixing together but I am a customer for LIFE! Her wonderful products Saved
Me! I am now using the products hard
core and am working on getting Bikini Ready! I will keep you all updated!
