It Works Body Wrap #4 Results

When Sheri was explaining the amazing things I could expect after four treatments of It Works Body wraps, I silently laughed. She claimed that I would see a 12 inch difference in my midsection. Here I was thinking that it would be an absolute miracle and was totally bogus. I was convinced this woman was just selling me a load of crap. 

I now have the 72 hour results of my fourth and final It Works Body Wrap. 

This was before my fourth wrap....

And here's the 72 hour after mark....

Yay! Flat tummy!!

Okay, are y'all ready for the final results???

I know I am!

As of today, I have lost a total of 14.5" inches!!!!

And my "pooch" is gone!!!!

Sheri, thank you....thank you....thank you!

It Works Body Wraps were exactly what I needed! 

I have never believed in a product like this until now. 

I've had so many friends ask if it was worth the time, effort and money. 

I guarantee I would use these products again and again. 

 My poor body used to look like this:

When I started wrappin'.....

And with a proper diet and the help of It Works and Sheri, I get to see this everyday:

I am beyond thrilled!

Yesterday I tried on a two piece swimsuit. I bought it a few years ago and never wore it. 

I'm not even close to kidding, I looked bad in it. 

Same swim suit yesterday? 

Had to be tightened up and I had no "pooch"! 

For the first time since having my child, I can wear a two piece swim suit and not be concerned with how I look! 

Sheri and It Works have brought me peace of mind. 

Until you go through that, you cannot possibly understand how amazing and blessed you feel.

Trim Time Tuesday #2

Thank you for stopping by again for a Trim Time Tuesday post! 

My heart desperately wants to show you that you really can lose weight. One of my friends mentioned that I am "real". I'm not a star. I don't a have a personal trainer and chef to help me lose weight. I struggle just like every other overweight to obese person out there. 

And there are plenty of other "real" people out there doing the same thing! I have another one to share with you.....

"Hey! My name is Liz and I, along with many other individuals, have struggled with weight loss. I became pregnant at the young age of 18. At that time, I had no idea what I weighed because I never wanted to step on the dreaded scale.

I was always the bigger girl in the group of skinny girls. All of my friends wore Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister clothes. I tried doing the same thing, but I was always embarrassed when I had to buy an extra large shirt and the biggest size jeans they offered in order to TRY and get the clothes to fit. I never wore a bikini because I had a couple of stretch marks on my stomach. I never really had a serious relationship and I felt like it was because I wasn’t skinny enough.

I met my current boyfriend and daughter’s father in 2007 which was the year I was graduating high school. I was still a little bigger, but he loved everything about me including my thighs and big butt. I ended up getting pregnant six months after I had met him. We had a very rough time in our relationship and I can honestly say it was a horrible pregnancy. He wasn’t ready to grow up and accept the fact of having to become a father. I was treated horribly which probably had a part in the gaining of 60 pounds during my pregnancy.

I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and I DID NOT CARE. Well, when I delivered my daughter, I was well over 200 pounds. Again, I did not step on the dreaded scale to get an exact number. Finally, in 2010 is when I was fed up with myself. I could not handle being so depressed, crabby, irritable, not interested in sex, not facing the mirror, not putting makeup on or doing my hair, and finally, I was fed up with being FAT.

In 2010, I decided to join Weight Watchers at 195.2 lbs. I am also 5’6”.  I was going to the meetings and the weight was coming off great. Then there were times I would “cheat” and then my weight loss would slow.

I can not tell you how many times I have fallen off the wagon and hopped back on. Over and over and over again I had told myself, “I will start over on Monday and I am taking this seriously.” Ya, right, NEVER happened. I was slowly losing weight through biggest loser competitions at work, but I would eventually gain everything back that I had lost once the competition was over and I won the money (not all the time).

I have tried everything in the book it seems. I have tried Weight Watchers, The 17 Day Diet, and I even had my doctor put me on Phentermine to suppress my appetite. That is how desperate I was. They all worked, but I would gain it all back because it wasn’t a lifestyle change for me. It was only a quick fix.

One of my friends had lost a lot of weight by counting calories. I thought that I had tried everything else so why not give counting calories a try. THIS was the best idea that I was ever given. I was bouncing around between 165-170 lbs when I first started counting calories. I would gain some then I would lose some because at that time, I was not dead serious about it.

Time came, when something clicked and I told myself that I will no longer be unhappy with myself. I want to have confidence and I want to LOVE myself. I counted calories and started doing TurboFire by Beachbody. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, did I mention I LOVE this program? The weight was coming off and so were the inches. I am currently down to 148 lbs and I love the feeling of seeing my friends that I haven’t seen in a while and have them tell me how skinny I am and how great I am looking. 

Currently, I fell off of the wagon a bit. I am a nursing student and I was stressing about my semester with finals and what not so I ate junk and drank beer. I also had to stop doing TurboFire three weeks ago because I have a problem where my ribs pop out of place so that has stalled me and now I am having a hard time getting back into it.

I got back on the wagon today, hopefully, and I am back to eating my lean meats, fruits, veggies, nuts, and I am trying to eliminate dairy and wheat from my diet to see if that helps with my bloat. I am also hoping to get back into the working out phase because I do not like seeing my body parts jiggling again.

This is just a short overview of the last few years of my weight loss journey (nightmare). Things can only go up from here because I will NOT buy those bigger jeans again!"

We all have a special journey and story to tell. There are days this isn't easy, but I haven't met anyone yet that says it wasn't worth it.

It Works Body Wrap #4

I finally got a chance to do my final It Works Body Wrap and I am beyond pleased with my results. If you have not tried them, I urge you to take the chance on something that honestly works. Every single one I have done has given me results I never thought I'd see!

This past Saturday, I was feeling pretty blah. Since I've lost a lot of weight, my body has decided to go into shock a little. Your body stores extra estrogen in any excess fat. Since I happened to acquire quite a lot of fat over the past several years, I also stored up a bunch of estrogen. As I lost weight, that extra estrogen was released into my body. Completely through my cycle out of whack. Over the past few months, I have had some pretty rotten hormonal issues combined with a very irregular cycle. First I had it every other week, and then it went to every six weeks. It's something that happens to some women that lose a significant amount of weight. If you experience something like this, go ahead and talk to your doctor. I got checked out to make sure there were no other health problems and learned that this is just something I had to go through. My doctor explained that things will return to normal once I maintain a certain weight.

So Saturday, I was feeling bloated and blah. I went ahead and did my wrap. Even though it had been two weeks since my last wrap, the only placed I gained inches was in my pooch area. That was only because I was so bloated.

In case you're wondering.... 

This is what the wrap looks like:

Normally when I wear the wrap, I freeze. 

For some reason this time I stayed warm. I felt all tingly and had surges of warmth. 

Saturday afternoon, I had finally returned to normal! 

It was amazing!

I have been absolutely miserable and swollen for two whole weeks. 

I wore the wrap for two hours and literally felt my poor body detoxing. 

The next morning I woke up with more energy than I'd had in the past two weeks. 

I just felt so much better! 

Excuse these pictures. I snapped them with my iPhone because I was just so surprised by the quick results! 

Not even 24 hours later, I was not swollen anymore! How crazy is that?!?

As excited as I was, I tried on my first two piece swimsuit in 6 years. 

I didn't feel like a cow at all. And then I cried....

(You knew that was coming, right??)

Check back later for my 72 hours post wrap results! 

I can't wait to share the continued inch loss....
