Reduce Waist and Luv Handles with plastic wrap.

[hotlusciousl]

I have a problem with weight around my stomach and back. Today someone at my job suggested that I wrap my mid-section in plastic wrap twice each week. I think this is similar to body wraps that spa's use. She said it helps get rid of water weight. I'm willing to try almost anything for a smaller waist. I'm going to wrap my waist at night for three weeks and post results. I need to take before pics I'll post them tommorow. I wrapped my waist tonight to see how hard it could be to do it and when I unwrapped the plastic my waist was sweating. So I'm going to see if it works.

[sweetascocoa]

i had a coworker that did it everyday! she used trash bags and tied it around her waist. it helped

[CandiceC]

I really need to try this. :scratchch

[star]

Green tea and CLA are excellent for belly fat been taking for 2 months and lost over 2 inches. These are both natural and can been taken forever even though I always rest with supplement every 2 or 3 months for about 2 weeks and then start again. All my fat goes straight to my waist but now I got handle on it the nature way. I think I still going to try the plastic wrap. I do not eat alot of white carbs but carbs with fiber like whole wheat, rye etc.

[Keen]

I'll try this... it doesn't seem to be hard.

[metro_qt]

I had a friend who was a boxer who said go jogging/rollerblading with the plastic bags on...to lose water weight fast...

Whooo! when i did that a couple of times last summer, I was sweating!

But. i will definitely try wearing it to bed..

[applebottom]

dunno about plastic wrap.... BUT I've been told if you wrap your stomach in an ace banadge after you have a baby. It would make your stomach go back down in a matter of weeks.

[***Victory is Mine]

I have one of the wraps for the abs that I got from Ross for about $5. It works the same way and it helps with my back. It has velcro on it. Take care Q

[honeycomb719]

I heard of this also. I also heard that a tsp of vinegar a day helps also.

[aquarian1252004]

Sometimes I wrap my stomach when I go to the gym. . . I don't know if it helps because I have only been doing it for about two weeks now.

[amcneal]

Ladies get you tinest bikini out, because this is true information. I have been doing it for 7 years. I have 2 kids and have a flat stomach.

It really does work.

Alright!! You have me taking an early lunch at my job to go get me some plastic wrap!!!!!!!!!!!! Like someone else said....we need details!!!!!!!!!!

[chinyere1]

what do you wrap with. Just the plastic or do you some time of mixture or ointment

[hotlusciousl]

BUMPING FOR AMCNEAL......

OH MIGHTY ONE SHOW US THE WAY!!!!!!:lol:

[bubblebtm2]

I want details too...yall got me thinking of doing this....:borgsmile why did i even open this tread?!? I've now been assimilated:lol:

[amcneal]

Hey ladies

I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone replied to this. But YES I have been wrapping my stomach for 7 years.

However, soft reynolds wrap is ok, but the harder the plastic the better. I get mines from a food service company, it's hard plastic.

I believe that this HELPS in training your stomach muscles and molding a waistline.

I have had 2 c-sections and we all know how hard it is to keep a flat stomach after that. But I am a strong believer that plastic wrap is the reason why. :) .

I know fitness experts may NOT agree to this, but IT WORK FOR ME.

SO AGAIN LADIES GET YOU TINEST BIKINIS OUT THIS SUMMER, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE DOING THE DAMN THANG.:)

[CandiceC]

Thanks amcneal. I'm excited. :grin:

Would heavy duty garbage bags cut into strips be ok?

[blac_quarian]

I know this is straying off topic slightly - but this is really works. My mom wrapped my stomach after I gave birth and insisted that I wear the wrap daily for 6 weeks. I'm glad that I gave in to her suggestion because my sister gave birth 3 years before I did and refused to wear the wrap and to this day she still can't fully get rid of her post-pregnancy stomach bulge (mind you, her daughter is now 13). I can see the plastic wrap working by training the stomach muscles to some degree.

[amcneal]

Thanks amcneal. I'm excited. :grin:

Hey CandiceC

I have never used garbage bags, but I assume it would have the same affect if you wrap it tight enough.

However try to use reynolds wrap, because it clings and grips your stomach better.

But remember the harder the plastic the better.

Ok. I see how that would cling better. Thanks!

Hey chinyere1

No

Wrap your stomach raw. Allow your stomach to sweat. That's all you need.

[Crystalicequeen123]

Hey chinyere1

No

Wrap your stomach raw. Allow your stomach to sweat. That's all you need.

This is very interesting ladies! But, I guess I don't really understand how wrapping your abs, or loosing "water weight" could have any real long-term staying power. How exactly does this work? And how does getting rid of "water weight" help you maintain a flat stomach for years??

I'm a bit confused... :confused:

[plzgrow]

Good advice, I need to loose the pudge so I will be wearing my plastic wrap everynight religiously..

How often do you do a week and on any given day do you where it all day? I would assume you must keep wearing it for maintenance even after you achieve results. Can break down just little bit further to give us a regime we can possibly follow thanks.

[applebottom]

How do you secure the wrap?

Feel free to join the smaller waist challenge. I read if you mix cayenne pepper and baby oil, rub, then wrap you will oose. But I also heard that water weight comes back.

Hey Crystalicequeen123

Only thing I can give you is my testimony. I have been wrapping for years, forbidding my FAT to see light. :lachen: Something is working, and it ain't diet cause I can get down on some black eye peas, corn bread, mash potatoes, fried chicken, peach cobbler, and pork. And thats for breakfast:lol: .

I want you to try something. Sit down and hold in your stomach as tight as you can. Then slowly proceed to twist to your right, HOLD, then to your left, HOLD. You should have felt pressure.

Now try it without holding in your stomach. Nothing. You feel Nothing.

Though it not as effective as stomach exercises, but it HELPS. Making every movement count.
Ladies, we get so comfortable, we let our bellies go, just do anything it wants to do. But wrapping gives it RESTRICTION, and makes you use stomach muscles that you are not use to uses in simple every day activities.

It may not give us six pack abs, but it reduce chances of our stomachs getter bigger and start us on our way to reducing our waistline.

[***Victory is Mine]

From what I heard before, this technique helps because when you wrap your stomach tightly, it allows you to always work your muscles. Meaning everytime you decide to let your stomach hang out, the pressure from the wrap will make it uncomfortable and then you will suck your stomach in. After a while, you are doing this all day basically keeping a contraction which helps to make the muscles stronger. HTH Q

My mama always did this too. When she died at 72 she still had a 20" waist after 10 pregnancies. My sister is still tiny too with 3 pregnancies. I couldn't wrap though because I had a C-section.

[KathyMay]

does this work on thighs too because I have some serious thunder thighs. I can't get rid of them

[azul11]

This is interesting. So you just wrap this around your waist and tie with a knot? How long are you supposed to keep it on? During the day as well? Is there another way to restrict your stomach muscles without the plastic wrap that can be worn during the day? God bless you all.

[amcneal]

Try to wear it everyday, your stomach is in training. If you don't want to, try to wear it to bed. But its not as effective if you are not moving around.

When I started I was just wearing it to make my clothes fall better. I had just had my daughter, I didn't know it was reducing my waiste.

You don't need to tie a knot. The wrap clings and grips to your body. Wrap your stomach just like you do your foods.

Hmmm that is a good question too. . . bumping

[Keen]

I would think not. The plastic is suppose to make you sweat which would accelerate the process...

[XXXtacy]

So a girdle wouldn't work either??!!!


amcneal,

Where do you get the food service type wrap? A food service supply store?? Kitchen supply store??


You know this board has got me putting EVOO on my face morning and night, emu oil all over my body, now plastic wrap on my stomach.... My life is changing everytime I come onto this site.:)

[bubblebtm2]

I think rubber waist cincher are designed to do the same thing, but they are a bit pricey. :ohwell:

Hey

I get my plastic wrap from a food service company that make lunchs for Chicago schools. It's the good stuff. It's HARD PLASTIC. I have a friend that works there.

When you wrap your stomach, MAKE SURE YOU WRAP THE ENTIRE STOMACH, starting right under your breast, all the way down.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DOUBLE OR SOMETIMES TRIPLE EACH AREA BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SECTION. PULL AND MAKE SURE IT IT TIGHT.:eek:

But I STRONGLY recommend professional wrap. I imagine other food service stores or even restarants would have it or can tell you where they get it. Reynolds wrap and garbage bags are ok, but will take longer to get the effect you are looking for.

This will work for anyone, no matter what size your waist is.

My sister is a beautiful plus-size woman, and it worked for her as well.:)

OOOooohhhhh....NOW I understand! :yep: Okay...yes, I see how wrapping could work now. It may not be the "water weight" you're loosing, but simply working the stomach muscles.

I've read in some magazines for women fitness that if you're trying to slim your waist-line, you should but a little string around your waist (slightly snug--not TOO tight!), and throughout the day try to suck in your waist/belly so that the string loosens and drops, and try to see how long you can do this a day. I hear it works the "inner abs" and keeps your stomach flat. :D :D

has anybody seen the plastic wrap that clings itself. It hard and grey, clearish. can I use this amcneal.

I spoke with my friend that I get my wrap from and she said to try any Warehouse stores or restarant supply store or stores like Costco, Gordon Food Service or Sams Club. ASK FOR THE INDUSTRIAL SIZE SARAN WRAP.

Only trick is someone has to help wrap you, but tell them not to wrap to tight. It is HARD plastic, and if wrapped to tight with this wrap, you may risk passing out. :perplexed

It's just like a corset, from back in the day. Be careful.

THE RESULT ARE PHENOMENAL. IT WILL TAKE INCHES OFF YOUR WAIST AND REDUCE YOUR WAIST SIZE.

Reynolds wrap and garbage bags, girdles, ARE NOT as effective.

But again, I recommend the INDUSTRIAL SIZE SARAN WRAP for better visible results.

[amcneal]

I am unaware of that one. However, if it is HARD, it will work.

Reynolds wrap rolls down to easy, and easily breaks. You want something that will stay in place and that is durable, even if we are sweating.

If you can poke a hole in it, easily. Then its too soft.

[jasmine26]

amcneal,

do you think this will work while i do my firm workouts? i know it's good to contract your abd muscles while doing cardio to help burn more fat in that area. So maybe this will be a good trick to help with my fat blasting hopes for my upcoming summer vacation.

ayiyiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... something else for me to fall on... but hey, i like to try new things... so i'm looking at the adorable bodies site and i'm trying to decide between the super rubber one and the cotton/rubber one... or i guess i could get both since the super rubber one is only recommended to be worn for 2-3 hours and the other from 8-10 hours... any suggestions?

I was wondering if I need both also but I figure that I can put some plastic wrap under the cotton/rubber one when I'm excersizing so I can sweat more :sekret:

[star]

I heard about this but wouldn't a waist cincher/corset do the same thing?
You can wear this also. I saw extreme makeover show once and the doctors mention that using this method is another way to strink waist without surgery and some of the producers of the show try it and say it really works especially since they do not have time to do surgeries.

Green tea and CLA are excellent for belly fat been taking for 2 months and lost over 2 inches. These are both natural and can been taken forever even though I always rest with supplement every 2 or 3 months for about 2 weeks and then start again. All my fat goes straight to my waist but now I got handle on it the nature way. I think I still going to try the plastic wrap. I do not eat alot of white carbs but carbs with fiber like whole wheat, rye etc.

Will drinking green tea have the same effect? Thanks!

[mshoney2u]

Okay that's a good idea. Thanks

I was thinking of getting a rubber clincher and doing the wrap at the same time. I did this last night to test is out with some store brought wrap and a streachable back wrap and it did good so i can only imagine what the other way would do.

amcneal, do you think this wrap would this be good?

ok.. i broke down and bought it (didn't take much huh??).... i ordered from the adorablebodies site... so far i'm impressed with them - they were really responsive to my order... apparently the size and color didn't come through and they sent an email right away to get the correct information (like 10 something last night; i ordered like 9 something)....

now i only have to wonder if i got the right size.. lol

did you see under the rubber one it said
for the best results, combine it with any other cotton rubber body shapers

I think that you can adjust the cotton/rubber one and the rubber only one just fastens.
You got me think about getting both of them:look:

it took a LOT for me not to order both... but i figured if i wanted the extra boost i could put the plastic under the cotton/rubber one and get some of the extra benefits... but i also figured that i'd only do the double duty while i'm at home because if i'm going to be sweating, i'd much rather not be out in public.. lol

i got the cotton/rubber... i figure that the pure rubber one would be great for the sweat factor but not so much for the training the muscles factor (since you can't wear it as long)....

yeah, i used that chart... according to it, i needed the medium, which is what i ordered... if left to my own devices i probably would have ordered a large.... i guess my biggest concern was getting it and then wearing it but passing out cuz i'm in a vice-grip... lol ... we shall soon see!!!... :grin:

See that what i was going to do too order the cotton/rubber one and use plastic under it. But I also was like hum combining them may not be a bad idea but I think with wrap with the plastic and them wraping again with the cotton/ rubber one you can go wrong. I dont get paid until next thursday. So I will be getting mine them but when yours comes in please, please prettttttttttttttttttttttty, please tell us how you like it :D

saran wrap, duct tape, and those ace bandages work well for this. i recommend sleeping in them. and after that wear your product of choice as much as possible. it definitely works.
did i post this already? im didnt feel like going through all those pages

[plzgrow]

I found the price for me:

http://www.cosmeticlabsales.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=41

A body wrap for under ten dollors cant beat that

[YamisGirl]

I ordered from Adorable bodies. Has anyone gotten thiers yet?

[SweetCaramel1]

hi ladies. i'm going to join this challenge. i meant to add a comment last week. "pre" childbirth my stomach measured 27 inches. during the day i would make sure i held my stomach in to increase muscle strength. i took measurements last week and i'm at a whopping 32 inches.

i know this is due to the expansion of my stomach and eating more. after i had my daughter i noticed that i could eat twice as much and not even fill full :ohwell:
i have a band already but i haven't been wearing it. i found it months ago at marshalls for five bucks. i'm going to start wearing again along with exercising and trying to remember to hold in my tummy! wish me luck

I ordered mine on ebay but the size I requested was too small. The seller will exchange it for me for a bigger size. So, I have to wait another two weeks...:mad:

I don't have any estimate on when mine will get here...that site doesn't say how long it normally takes to ship an order...and I don't know if they notify you when shipped....:ohwell:

[JazzyDez]

I heard about this but wouldn't a waist cincher/corset do the same thing?

yes infact some women have been doing this for years...of course they look NOTHING like me. :lol: To anyone wondering about the corsets, check this out.

i got my order about 30 minutes ago. i'm wearing the rubber cincher right now :) i havent tried on the regular one yet though.

[YamisGirl]

I got mine yesterday and I'm pleased with it. I will, however, not oder from Adorablebodies again. I didnt have a good time with them. Oh well. This thing has me sitting up STRAIGHT. And constantly sucking in to get rid of the pressure. (Not a bad amount of pressure...normal amount..I just..suck in.) I like it

[JazzyDez]

Let us know how it works out for you!!

Any ladies with updates/seeing good results?? Im sure it will take some time to actually see any results but keep us posted

[hotlusciousl]

I got mine yesterday. I'm wearing it right now. This thing is giving me some serious cleavage! But my back fat is falling out of the top:lol: . I need to lose a few pounds! At first I thought it was too small. I ordered a medium. I weigh 166 and I am 5'7, but if you take your time do one clasp at a time and take a few breaks you too can have this sexy hour glass shape:D ....but watch out when you unbutton. Can I say whoa!:look:

[SqrpioQutie]

ok.... so i got home and went to try it out... i definitely should have gone with my first instinct and gotten the large... i can fasten a grand total of one clasp... i'm not sure i'm going to send this one back or not though... i might get a larger one and use that until i can get into this one... but ok, i have pain from trying to fasten the medium.. lol

ETA: soooooooooo i went ahead and ordered two of the slimaire belts... the funny thing is that according to their instructions i need a medium (from 31 to 36 inches)... so we'll see how that goes... if all goes well, i'll be into my adorablebodies cincher at some point later...

does anyone know if this will work for the hip area?

someone please help. please :(

[czyfaith77]

I had a friend who was a boxer who said go jogging/rollerblading with the plastic bags on...to lose water weight fast...

Whooo! when i did that a couple of times last summer, I was sweating!

But. i will definitely try wearing it to bed..

I knew football palyers who trained like this. Some bought plastic sweat suits . They can be bought online and at some sports good stores. Some Wal-marts have these.

[czyfaith77]

There have some pants at most sporting good stores that look like biker shorts but they are made to make these areas sweat.

[KiSseS03]

I watched a documentary about Beauty Pageant Contestants one time, and they would work out with their stomachs and thighs wrapped in plastic wrap, and then layer spandex and work-out clothes over it. They showed before and after pics, and it worked.

[Zeal]

Hey

I get my plastic wrap from a food service company that make lunchs for Chicago schools. It's the good stuff. It's HARD PLASTIC. I have a friend that works there.

When you wrap your stomach, MAKE SURE YOU WRAP THE ENTIRE STOMACH, starting right under your breast, all the way down.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DOUBLE OR SOMETIMES TRIPLE EACH AREA BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SECTION. PULL AND MAKE SURE IT IT TIGHT.:eek:

But I STRONGLY recommend professional wrap. I imagine other food service stores or even restarants would have it or can tell you where they get it. Reynolds wrap and garbage bags are ok, but will take longer to get the effect you are looking for.

This will work for anyone, no matter what size your waist is.

My sister is a beautiful plus-size woman, and it worked for her as well.:)

I have on of those buts that sticks out and a short waist the the platic rises up. :perplexed

[kreeme]

My girlfriend who use to be a personal trainer for Bally's told me about this trick. I thought she was straight up crazy when she came to my house and started wrapping her stomach and thighs in saran wrap. I was like, what in the hell is she doing? :confused: But I said to myself, hell, she got it going on, so I might as well try it and see how it works. I did it for about a month straight and I noticed a huge difference in my waistline. I had the nerve to wear it to work one day...huge mistake. I was walking around crunching every time I made a move. I went to the bathroom and cut that plastic off of me and went on about my business. :lol:

Kreeme you and your office stories please share some more :lol: :lol:

[Joyful1]

I tried this a few months ago. I wrapped myself from neck to toe with saran wrap (kind of reminds you of Jamie Foxx in Bootycall) and tucked myself into a very warm bed with a down comforter. I was only able to keep it on for a total of 5 hours each time. It was a really weird experience. People and memories that I hadn't thought about in years came flooding back.

I haven't tried it since because I didn't want the trip down memory lane. But I have a rubber waist wrap that I got from Target so I went to put it on.

BTW, I did see results when I did the plastic wrap.

[LABETT]

This seems to be working for me I was able to fit into a pair of jeans that was tight in just two weeks.
I have been using the saran wrap,cleopatra firming cream and exercising 3-4 times a week.

[belladionne922]

I've got one of those rubber sweatsuits. I was thinking about trying to sleep in it, but I get so hot normally, I was scared of giving myself heatstroke or something. LOL. Guess I'll try again. And mayb I'll go back to wearing my velcro waist cincher that I bought from Avon. It was making my waist sweat, but I was so uncomfortable in it at work...

[XXXtacy]

I had my hubby help me wrap myself tonight. He was on the floor laughing. :lachen: he said if I suffocate with his fingerprints on this saran wrap, he wanted to know where I got this idea from. LOL

Day 1. Anxious to see what day 7 will look like. :)

[amcneal]

I used to exercise everyday in a plastic suit (black sauna suit) - either sears or modells sells them - I stopped. I forgot all about this. I lost a LOT of weight in a short time. ALL OVER! I would run for 30 mins straight on the threadmill with it. My sneakers would be flooded out from sweat; and then when i put my hands down to my side all the water that had gathered up in the elbow region would gush out like I'd opened a bottle of water and christened the gym floor. The gym attendants were NOT pleased with me. I'm gonna stop at Modells this morning and get one of the belly ones....ooh, maybe I'll buy the pants.

Thanks for the links . I been wanting to get a suit for a minute. How many times a week were u doing this and how long before u saw results?

[meia]

I watched a documentary about Beauty Pageant Contestants one time, and they would work out with their stomachs and thighs wrapped in plastic wrap, and then layer spandex and work-out clothes over it. They showed before and after pics, and it worked.

i remember hearing about pageant girls also--- when they wrap their thighs and bodies they apply hemorrhoid creme (preparation h to be exact) to shrink all the areas they wanted to shrink. Why you ask? lol because if preparation h SHRINKS hemorrhoids as well as they do it has a good effect for shrinking the thighs and minimizing cellulite...

usually they only do this during pageant times...but im thinking if it was done for a prolonged period of time it would work BETTER than for them just doing it for a pageant..

Within a month, people (including my trainer) were remarking that i was "disappearing." didn't even change my diet. i exercised 5 days a week for an hour: 30 minutes running (i ran at 6.5 - i'm working my way back up there) and 30 minutes on the elliptical...then my ex and i got back together and i've been fat ever since.:lachen:

I bought the Bell Fitness version of these yesterday at Modells. Did an hour of cardio. FANTASTIC! Soaked but not dripping all over the joint like when I had the sauna suit. Also, I had taken a spin class last Friday (haven't done one of those in years) and my thighs were on FIYAH! No more pain. Probably the warmth created by the pants took care of this.

I can't wait til the end of the week to see my results for waist, stomach, hips, butt and thighs

[kiwiny]

I have been wearing my cotton/rubber waist cincher for about 3 days...and I love it.I am not overweight but I just want a flatter stomach. I love the way i look with it on,I wish I looked this way without the damn thing on. I ordered from adorables.

[Nice & Wavy]

I found the price for me:

How was your wrap? Did it work? I was wondering, did it roll up from the bottom and/or did you have to keep pulling it down?

Please let me know....if all is well, I'd like to buy one.

Thanks in advance!

Hey ladies

I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone replied to this. But YES I have been wrapping my stomach for 7 years.

However, soft reynolds wrap is ok, but the harder the plastic the better. I get mines from a food service company, it's hard plastic.

I believe that this HELPS in training your stomach muscles and molding a waistline.

I have had 2 c-sections and we all know how hard it is to keep a flat stomach after that. But I am a strong believer that plastic wrap is the reason why. :) .

I know fitness experts may NOT agree to this, but IT WORK FOR ME.

SO AGAIN LADIES GET YOU TINEST BIKINIS OUT THIS SUMMER, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE DOING THE DAMN THANG.:)


Thanks ladies ! I will be wrapping in plaxtic everynight. Matter of fact--I wrapped my stomach in plastic and I am headed for the gym to work out...This is a great thread :)

[trinigul]

I like those shorts! Is there a website where I can order?

I wouldn't pay more than $19 for them - that's what I paid.

http://www.ekitchengadgets.com/evneshlaev.html (there is an additional 5% discount)

but, i sure wish i had done a search on ebay:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=%22neoprene+shorts%22

they're really great!

[trinidarkie1]

I just cannot do this yet. I am one of those people that laugh at the ladies who wear the garbage bag suits to the gym :( I mean I want to sweat but not THAT bad.

I do believe it works, but I guess I am to stuffy to wear it in public.

[Shimmie]

[belladionne922]

I just realized that I cain't get the rubber waist cincher because of my latex allergy. Help!

[cutebajangirl]

I got the sauna suit with a neoprene belt for 9.99 at a Modells store in the Bronx today.

[SplashAtl]

I think mine was like $6.99 at Walmart

[MrsBKJ]

HEY
Ive been folowing this thread for a while now and just wondered how long you ladies will carry on doing this for? the inch loss thru water loss is temporary so are you ladies intending to carry on doing this indefinately? Id find it very difficult to carry on doing this for 7 plus years, are you ladies wrapping really tightly as though it were a concher? I understand the concept of the waist cincher and realise that this can be long term/permanent.
does anybody have any results to post as im tempted to get a regular corset to improve my posture.

thanks

[metro_qt]

So, I wrapped with saran wrap this morning, and on saturday I bought a slimming tummy shaper...(looks like a tube top that's made out of hard strechy material and has metal strips sewn down the sides to keep it's shape)

I put that on over my saran wrap and did 25 minutes of Turbo jam.. Phew!
the sweat was running off my stomach!

So guys, when do we start seeing a difference,
and to maintain the changes, do we have to do this indefinitely (forever and a day?)

[ChocoKitty]

I just started wrapping my stomach. I tried it for the first time yesterday for about an hour. I just walked around the house doing random things. Now I'm at work wearing it..:look: :lol: I can't believe I'm doing this. A male freind has suggested this to me for years but I'm just now catching on. He wraps his stomach every time he goes to the gym. I'm hitting the gym for an hour after I leave work. I thought I'd be uncomfortable and all but I've managed to hold in my abs most of my work day! I think this might work for me.:grin:

I also have one of those rubber waist cinchers at home... Maybe I'll pull that out for the weekends.;)

[Spidergul]

:lol: Priceless :D
Truth to tell, I was going to do the same thing, but hence the crunching I thought maybe not. It is a long walk from my area to the restrooms :lol: :lachen:

I've only been wearing mine for one week because I initially ordered the wrong size. It is really confortable to wear all day. I've been thinking about getting a corset though. I would just use some plastic wrap underneath it in the day time. I don't want to keep buying one of these things whenever I loose a an inch. Even though I only have 3 inches to my goal. I've lost 1 1/2 inches so far (I don't think this is due to the shapewear) . Today, I'm wearing a pair of pants that I could not wear last month.

My shapewear is so comfortable that my plan is to incorporate it in my daily wardrode. It makes be look much curvier.

[ms.sweetevie]

:confused: I have an old waist belt i put it on and was sweating up a storm. But now my gut has stopped sweating. Can it be dry rot or just old?

[gorgeoushair]

I tried my sauna suit today and yes it had me sweating. Only problem is I can't stand all that noise this suit makes while I'm exercising. Also the side of my pants got caught on the bathroom door and it ripped a quarter size hole in it.....is there anyway to fix this b/c I hate buy another suit. Will it still work. Thanks

[Chipmunk]

I used to wear a waist trimmer when exercising, it always helped me to lose water weight. Seeing this thread reminded me. I went out a bought a set that had a waist trimmer, sweat suit and jump rope. I'm ready to burn some fat!

[TwistNMx]

OMG!!!;)
This is a great post.
I'm on my way within the hour to the 'dollar store'. :driver:
I already have the velcro wrap. :scratchch Humm... I'll just add the reynolds under that.

I'd like to do the ACV, however it has too much acid for my stomach.

After that so called "Coconut Oil" to lose weight (gain 10 lbs from it). :confused:
I'll NEVER consume anything that says coconut. :nono: It's only good for the hair!
I think this will work well with my crash diet for a movie premier next month (my husband is in the biz), and an in-law family reunion....yeah!:yay:
I can see my new look now. :crystalba I've never lost more than 20 lbs., but I'm confident with my new plan that I will do it and look good without a little stomach poking out a bit.
BMI=29

Does anyone know if the plastic wrap should be very tight???

Also, does anyone know the time frame for the results?

Thanx
HP ;)

[gorgeoushair]

What ACV-Apple Cider Vinegar? Are you talking about drinking it?

[rosie]

Interesting post.

It would be nice to hear results from everyone who has tried it for the past month.

Results ladies?

[KathyMay]

I am starting to shrink again. I can tell that I am losing some inches.

[gn1g]

What ACV-Apple Cider Vinegar? Are you talking about drinking it?

what she said.

[ChiChiStar]

Yes, you're suppose to drink about 1 tablespoon a day...it's suppose to help your digestive system as well as burn calories. I take it whenever I feel bloated or simply ate too much or ate unhealthy.

[SweetCaramel1]

Any updates?

[queenspence]

Do the inches stay off since it is just water loss?

[Nymphe]

Whatever happened with the rest of the users? I want to try the hard plastic wrapping...

[hotlusciousl]

I slacked off for a while because I didn't want to wear it under my tanks and summer clothes...I bought the waist cincher a while back... On Tuesday I wore it through my whole work out and then rinsed and dried when i got home and wore it to sleep. Now that the weather is changing I'll be able to wear it to work when I'm wearing sweaters or thicker shirts. But I have noticed when i do wear it to bed...when i get up in the morning my shirts fit so much better... I also use it sometimes when I'm doing crunches..which I'm currently up to 100 a day....it helps me keep my stomach tight while doing them. I can also tell i'm losing weight because when i first got it....i had back fat hanging out of the top...now it is gone! So all I'm working on now is my luv handles which by the way i have two on one side and three on the other:ohwell: .....

[Nymphe]

Thanks for the update!

[14got]

I want one of those
I have a velcro slimmer

[LABETT]

I was seeing results when I was consistent and I been slack the last couple of months.

[pureenergy77]

After reading this thread, I bought me a waist cincher on Ebay last night! I bought the one with the cotton/latex for $29.95 + $6.00 shipping. I want to lose my stomach, but don't want to lose my fuller bra size or bigger booty. I do need to tone up tho. I will try to wear the waist cincher everyday for 30 days to see what happens. I'll work out in it too. Let's see if this works!

[14got]

update

did anyone use this method
did it work
did you buy any products
if so what did you buy

[gn1g]

Kimapeach,

Not only did my dh think I was nuts when I told him how long my hair was going to be (pointing to the middle of my back) my whole family did. The shook their heads as if to say yea right.

Now I have the longest hair in my family but I am not BSL YET. Just wait until I go to the salon Feb1 and come back home flinging my hair. Then I will ask them whose laughing know.

[LaNecia]

i remember hearing about pageant girls also--- when they wrap their thighs and bodies they apply hemorrhoid creme (preparation h to be exact) to shrink all the areas they wanted to shrink. Why you ask? lol because if preparation h SHRINKS hemorrhoids as well as they do it has a good effect for shrinking the thighs and minimizing cellulite...

usually they only do this during pageant times...but im thinking if it was done for a prolonged period of time it would work BETTER than for them just doing it for a pageant..

This does really work. My trainer had me doing to get ready for a bodybuilding show. It's mostly for tightening the skin (and shedding water) but yes, it does work....(AND THE Prep H is a FSA refundable expense so...save those receipts if you use it for this! I have TUBES of it on hand as I start prepping for my next figure competition in March/April! :yep:

How long does it take before u see results? i have somewhere to go in 4 days and i want my tummy to be a smaill as possible

[LaNecia]

I think it depends on how much you want to lose, and how stubborn the body part is. For my legs, it's a very slow process but for my abs which are the first bodypart to respond, it's a matter of a few days.

Bear in mind that it's primarily water weight that's is helping you shed, though the elevation in temperature at the site MAY induce a small amount of fat loss. I'd opt personally for a full body wrap if I were in a time pinch, they run about $100, using the same principle but you lose inches ALL OVER. But again, it's water but it does temporarily tighten and help the skin looked more toned.

[theoneandonly]

I am down for the challenge. I started today.

[mblake8]

Ok guys this is working. I am doing the velcro thing when i work out this week and i have lost an 1 1/2 inches off my tummy. I am doing the plastic and hemmorid thing tonight and will let u guys know what happens tommorrow. I have a before pic and when i get to where i want to be i will post before and after. My stomach is really sore like i have been doing crunches all day!

[Xavier]

Ladies get you tinest bikini out, because this is true information. I have been doing it for 7 years. I have 2 kids and have a flat stomach.

It really does work.

So, Amcneal. Are you using the plastic wrap? What is your method?

[Xavier]

I had my hubby help me wrap myself tonight. He was on the floor laughing. :lachen: he said if I suffocate with his fingerprints on this saran wrap, he wanted to know where I got this idea from. LOL

Day 1. Anxious to see what day 7 will look like. :)
:lachen: :lachen: :lol: :lol: :lachen: :lachen: This had me laughing out loud at work!!! This is too funny!

I'm starting my Freestyle training program this week for my legs, I'll use my Neoprene shorts w/the Prep H (just like the velcro belt but shorts, I'll take a photo and upload). I could use a little extra help in the hip area, has always been a trouble spot. :(

Do they make something like this for arms? that and my stomach are my trouble areas. I am so excited. i tried on this skirt this morning and it was way too big for my waiste

[LaNecia]

I can't say I've seen anything for arms; the closest would be the sauna suit. I'm sure you're familiar with those, usually you seem them worn by boxers or someone who has to cut weight really fast. It's a plastic 'jacket' and pants that you put on and do cardio, sit in the sauna, etc.

http://www.everythingfitness.com/catalog/images/items/ae-ss-04.jpg (http://www.everythingfitness.com/ae-ss-04.html)
They DEFINITELY make you sweat a lot. I wonder if that would work with the Prep H stuff. :scratchch

:lol: You MAY START off being self conscious but after you start seeing results...ish, you WON'T even be thinking about what people think when you're rubbing on Prep H! I used to have to use a CO-ed sauna...feels funny rolling up in there w/t Saran Wrap on your legs and there's a hot guy in there. You're like DaYUM, why today?!!! :lol:

It's all good those cause that same guy a few weeks later was like :shocked: ;)

[LaNecia]

Update!!!:

I did the Prep H this morning w/my Neoprene Shorts and Waist Belt, threw on my Sauna Suit over that and rode my stationary bike for 35 minutes. I'll upload photos as soon as I find my charger for my camera.

Anyway, preworkout I weighed myself on my Tanita Scale, I was 153.4 lbs w/24.7% body fat. Post workout, my weight was 152.0, 22% body fat!! The body fat reading means little to me because of my muscle density and using the scale immediately after a workout will guarantee incorrect results. I use it merely to gauge whether the percentage going up or down.

What blew my mind was that I lost 1.5 lbs of water during my ride and I was sipping water during it! I've decided to give this a try for the next 7 days until I see my trainer and see if he notices a difference in my appearance!

I'll update again next ride (tomorrow)! :bouncy:

I ordered the same one last week.
Like others, I want to lose inches in my waist, but nothing else, I'm currently a 38-30-40. I hope to get to 38-27-40 . I know they say I can't spot reduce, but I'm giving myself 45 day to lose the inches and still maintain/re-gain weight that I may lose in the process (I'm 5'4 140 now)

So for the next 45 days I plan to

* wear my waist cincher daily
* cut out all fried foods & saturated fats
* eat fresh fruits & veggies only for breakfast and lunch
* "regular" dinner, but before 8pm ( I have a bad habit of eating late)
* light cardio (lunch time walks at least 1mile daily)
* work my way up to 200 crunches daily.

It's harder for me to maintain my weight, I'll sacrifice 5lbs though

[CurleeDST]

why waste time on such a temporary method? simply cut out eating high fat and sugar foods and amp up your cardio and weight lifting! those love handles will go away. it requires a lifestyle change not some lose water quick scheme.


I have a problem with weight around my stomach and back. Today someone at my job suggested that I wrap my mid-section in plastic wrap twice each week. I think this is similar to body wraps that spa's use. She said it helps get rid of water weight. I'm willing to try almost anything for a smaller waist. I'm going to wrap my waist at night for three weeks and post results. I need to take before pics I'll post them tommorow. I wrapped my waist tonight to see how hard it could be to do it and when I unwrapped the plastic my waist was sweating. So I'm going to see if it works.

[14got]

I wear a small and I want to have the ultra tiny waist I had before kids
I work out sometimes 2 times a day
do what makes YOU feel good
I look great in my corset:weird:

Hey Kei - I purchased a size medium...I hope it won't be too big? If so, is there way to tighten it, or will i just have to buy a smaller one?

[14got]

I think it might work
there are 2 sets of eyes so you can always put it on the tightest one
it's really not made for short people
mine bunches when I sit

While I agree that a healthy diet and exercise routine is beneficial, the waist nippers or corsets also work and it is NOT temporary. After I gave birth to my daughter 3 years ago, I was walking around for a month looking 6 months preggo. My aunt told me that I was suppose to bind my waist so I went to small lingerie shop and bought one (similar to the one Kei bought). I wore it over my tank top all day and night and in 2 days flat, what was a 46" waist shrunk to a 28". I could not believe how much water I was still carrying. I am now a 27 " trying to get to a 26". These corsets reshape your waist and with constant use, it does work. You just have to maintain it. :)

It's obviously not a "quick fix" as some have been using it for several years. But since you feel like that, don't do it.

For long term results you are correct but sometimes it helps people to see faster results to get them to commit to the long term goal. It takes MUCH longer to get in shape than it does to get out of shape...

The progression can be slow but rewarding...whatever path you take to get there, stay true to i and results will come.

[CurleeDST]

I hear you. Ol school always said to wear a girdle after having children to regain the waist. What I am touting is a lifestyle change, not some get rich quick scheme or shortcut. People just need to put in the time and work to get the results they desire.

If you need to reduce body fat - back AWAY from the table and put down the sweets. You can't spot reduce (I don't care what old or new school says).

Saran wrap, Reynolds wrap, head wrap - doesn't matter. Getting rid of water is WAY TEMPORARY! Drink the amount you sh/ per day (1/2 your body weight in ounces) you will regain that in no time flat.

People need to stop being lazy and just put in the grind to reduce weight, increase muscle and reduce fat. Your heart, joints and arteries will thank you for it.

[CurleeDST]

People aren't going to commit if they see a major difference in 2 days vs. 2 months. They will think all they have to do is be disciplined for 2 days and they will be able to maintain whenever they start to increase.

And contrary to common belief it takes a while to get out of shape. You don't eat a donut today and gain 15 lbs the following week. But developing habits where you are eating 1 donut a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year - ummm yeah you are going to see a significant difference in your weight gain.

True commitment comes from being tired of feeling and looking bad not from thinking they can make a permanent change within 2 days of sacrifice. It won't last - I've seen it all too often.

I hope I don't come off argumentative b/c that isn't my purpose. I am just tired of seeing AA women and AA people be so overweight and lazy about weight management.

Curlee,

I see your point and while I don't totally disagree, I do with some points.

You have the right to your opinion and I won't use the forum to argue my perspective on weight training and dieting/life style changes.

I just think your message is correct, but your delivery is a little harsh.

VWV

[CurleeDST]

Yeah I know I tend to be very direct - straight no chaser. I don't B.S. online or in my real life. Too much of that going around. So while the truth may be hard to hear - I am not trying to facilitate people's good feelings while allowing them to kill themselves slowly with bad habits.

What does Judge Mathis call it? Oh yeah, Tough Love!

But working out doesn't have to be a chore or hard. Starting with a 30 minute walk, 4 days a week at a comfortable pace is doable. Then slowly build up to a more aggressive pace that gets the heart rate above 140 or whatever the target heart rate sh/ be for your age. Then when the confidence is built up try different things to constantly work different muscles and challenge the body.

My mom lost 20 lbs in 2 months from simply walking on a treadmill at a moderate pace, 30 minutes in the morning and cutting out or rather severely cutting back on how much sweets she ate (i.e. cakes, cupcakes, sodas, desserts, etc.)

It was amazing and didn't really take much. I started running over 18 months ago. I bought a little book from the check out line in the grocery store titled How to build up to running 30 minutes in 12 weeks or something like that. It started off as a walk/run program (i.e. walk 2 minutes, run 1 minute, walk 2 minutes, etc.) until you build up to 30 minutes. The next day the amount of time you walk decreased and the amount of time you run increased. Next thing you know - after 3 months I was running 30 minutes straight and not winded, at 5 mph.

Once I built up my confidence w/ that I started doing intervals which were at drastically more aggressive speeds. The fastest being 8 mph for 1 minute. Then I started going to step class, then weight lifting and then spin. Now I am not overweight but I was not as trim as I would have liked b/c I used to work out before and stopped after having my first child and due to increased demands at work and after work obligations with receptions, networking, etc.

But one day I was motivated to start back on my workout regime and got that book and that is all she wrote. Not only did my waist decrease, so did my pants and shirt sizes. Now I am pregnant and do not run at all b/c my joints are loosening getting ready for this baby and I am afraid of spraining something but once the baby drops I am already looking at jogging strollers so me and my new bambino can be out there hitting the asphalt.

We don't gain the weight in a day nor should we expedct to lose it in a day. It takes dedication, work, time and patience. Just like growing our hair.

ETA: My vitals are excellent, cholesterol about 160-170 with a 30 point increase in my HDLs and decrease in my LDLs (which are directly impacted by activity) and my BP is at 114/72. My physicians are very happy so ladies it doesn't take much to get your body where it needs to be so you live a long and fulfilling and healthy life.

I also got excellent life insurance premium insurance rates b/c they underwrote me as an athlete which prompted much better premiums and improved insurance policy.

I just wanted to add that this is just another method that some of us will use in conjunction with other things. I don't believe for one second that simply wearing this product will give me my abs back!!! I have lost over 22lbs by eating healthier and working out so this will be used along with those 2 things. I know for me personally, seeing results right away gives me encouragement to keep going in order to see more. I don't have the one like Kei's yet however, I have noticed that I am more aware of my posture with the one I do have. Because of that, I don't slouch as much and I feel taller because my body is aligned better. Q

[Sha76]

I got a slimmer belt made by everlast. I only wear it during my WO to remind me to hold my stomach in.

That is the only time you will see me in that thing.

[Sweetcoco82]

I just wanted to add that you can change the size of your waist by wrapping you waist tightly or wearing a corset. Cathie Jung holds the record for worlds smallest waist. 15 inches with a corset on. I think she looks disgusting. She went way too far. She used corsets to get that way. You can check her web site out at www.cathiejung.com (http://www.cathiejung.com). She was on the Tyra Banks show with another woman. You can see part of it on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cJrGjwit34

I was in the gym recently and a man was walking very, very slowly on the treadmill, but was sweating like crazy! He has sweat dripping from all over his body. I asked him if he was a natural sweater and he said he put some kind of cream all over his body that makes you sweat. He said it the same thing that women use to remove make-up. Does anyone know what this is?

[michan]

It is called Albolene moisturizing cleanser. It's the one with the blue lid.

My sister's trainer told her to use it, it really make you sweat.

you can get it at walgreens online or at almost any drugstore.

[gabulldawg]

I still don’t get how people can be so “passionate” about things that they claim DON’T work… :ohwell: It seems to me like it may be something that does work and someone may want to keep it a secret or something… If you really don't think it works just say it doesn't work and move on like other people did on this same thread! I do think that if this is done over a long period of time (maybe years) it could definitely train that area of your body into remaining tight. Plus, if you do it everyday it will probably keep the water weight off.

Anyway, I plan on trying this along with working out regularly.I currently started tonight using saran wrap since that's all I have. I plan on looking into getting a rubber waist cincher when I get paid. I also am trying to work my way into eating more healthy. It’s hard for me to eat healthy when I’m a broke college student!! Any tips on cheap diets would be greatly appreciated.

Also, BUMP! Any updates, ladies??

VW, I love the way you have slimmed down your hips and thighs and have maintained that muscular toned look. That is what I am trying to do. I have the training and cardio but I cannot keep my nutrition clean at all. At least it cleaner than before.

You look awesome. Keep up the good work!!

Can we get an update?
Does the plastic wrap work?
Is this a life long decision?

[Radianthealth]

Plastic wrap seems like it is too much of a hassle

I lose about a gallon of sweat while jumping on my rebounder. I did this to get into a bridesmaids dress once and it worked well. I didn't lose much weight but I was able to come down 1 dress size in a short amount of time:yep:

I have started to do this again because sweating and rebounding is a great way to rid the body of toxins.

I have both of these...I mean the sauna suit and the Velcro waist belt. I've used them in the past, but not consistently. I just purchased new pairs and used the sauna suit during one of my daily run/walk on the tread mill...man, there was plenty of sweat in that suit when I was done. I wouldn't use it outdoors though...you'd look like a balloon woman:-)

[MrsHouston]

Yeah I know I tend to be very direct - straight no chaser. I don't B.S. online or in my real life. Too much of that going around. So while the truth may be hard to hear - I am not trying to facilitate people's good feelings while allowing them to kill themselves slowly with bad habits.

What does Judge Mathis call it? Oh yeah, Tough Love!

But working out doesn't have to be a chore or hard. Starting with a 30 minute walk, 4 days a week at a comfortable pace is doable. Then slowly build up to a more aggressive pace that gets the heart rate above 140 or whatever the target heart rate sh/ be for your age. Then when the confidence is built up try different things to constantly work different muscles and challenge the body.

My mom lost 20 lbs in 2 months from simply walking on a treadmill at a moderate pace, 30 minutes in the morning and cutting out or rather severely cutting back on how much sweets she ate (i.e. cakes, cupcakes, sodas, desserts, etc.)

It was amazing and didn't really take much. I started running over 18 months ago. I bought a little book from the check out line in the grocery store titled How to build up to running 30 minutes in 12 weeks or something like that. It started off as a walk/run program (i.e. walk 2 minutes, run 1 minute, walk 2 minutes, etc.) until you build up to 30 minutes. The next day the amount of time you walk decreased and the amount of time you run increased. Next thing you know - after 3 months I was running 30 minutes straight and not winded, at 5 mph.

Once I built up my confidence w/ that I started doing intervals which were at drastically more aggressive speeds. The fastest being 8 mph for 1 minute. Then I started going to step class, then weight lifting and then spin. Now I am not overweight but I was not as trim as I would have liked b/c I used to work out before and stopped after having my first child and due to increased demands at work and after work obligations with receptions, networking, etc.

But one day I was motivated to start back on my workout regime and got that book and that is all she wrote. Not only did my waist decrease, so did my pants and shirt sizes. Now I am pregnant and do not run at all b/c my joints are loosening getting ready for this baby and I am afraid of spraining something but once the baby drops I am already looking at jogging strollers so me and my new bambino can be out there hitting the asphalt.

We don't gain the weight in a day nor should we expedct to lose it in a day. It takes dedication, work, time and patience. Just like growing our hair.

ETA: My vitals are excellent, cholesterol about 160-170 with a 30 point increase in my HDLs and decrease in my LDLs (which are directly impacted by activity) and my BP is at 114/72. My physicians are very happy so ladies it doesn't take much to get your body where it needs to be so you live a long and fulfilling and healthy life.

I also got excellent life insurance premium insurance rates b/c they underwrote me as an athlete which prompted much better premiums and improved insurance policy.

Very Impressive (the bolded).

My run/walk program is similar to yours here.

Thank you very much, was a great journey, learned a LOT about eating clean (and what happens when you don't), cardio and a lot of new training techniques).

For my show, I won my classes and the overall...was great.

The nutrition is the hardest part, until you clean that area, all of the cardio and training won't remove the last tidbits that hang around. If I can help you with your nutrition profile, drop me a pm!


Thank you Good2UUUU, you're so sweet! Hugs!!

I heard of this also. I also heard that a tsp of vinegar a day helps also.


My mom, who is a skinny mini 5'11" 165 lbs 51 years old. size 6 or 8 swears by her apple cider vinegar. She drinks 1 oz in the am and 1 oz in the PM.

I cant get past the smell or taste, not even with the pills. I wonder if its an acquired taste

[redgirlusa]

Okay. I decided to try this but I have ONE QUESTION. WHY AM I ITHCHING SO BAD?:lachen:I want to keep this up. So far it has been 3 days but oh boy does my tummy and back itch something fierce. Any suggestions for me? :wallbash:

DONT SCRATCH...IMO...its what caused me to have stretch marks...all the places that were itchy and I scratched...stretch marks....my stomach, back of my legs and my waist (behind)...try to keep the skin oiled.....

[A856]

how does one get a 'tight/secure' wrap if they are wrapping themselves????

[Pokahontas]

where is everyone at with their updates?

I guess the saran wrap didnt work out, lol. I tried it and saw some results but i got scared to keep doing it cuz after researching i kept hearing it could be dangerous to do.

Do you mind elaborating on how it can be dangerous?

[Pokahontas]

Do you mind elaborating on how it can be dangerous?
It causes dehydration and you're reducing the body's capacity to regulate heat. It's only a temporary fix, the water will come back and you will not sustain the weight loss.

I was getting weird pains in my stomach when I was doing this but I have no idea if this is what caused it so that's why I wanted to read up on it.

[SouthernTease]

I just wanted to add that you can change the size of your waist by wrapping you waist tightly or wearing a corset. Cathie Jung holds the record for worlds smallest waist. 15 inches with a corset on. I think she looks disgusting. She went way too far. She used corsets to get that way. You can check her web site out at www.cathiejung.com (http://www.cathiejung.com). She was on the Tyra Banks show with another woman. You can see part of it on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cJrGjwit34

:nono: that is gross... I think I'm good at 24... well I think it matters
the hip to waist ratio should be 7 that's what Marilyn Monroe was

Notwithstanding wide cultural differences in preferences for female build, scientists have discovered that the waist-hip ratio (WHR) of any build is very strongly correlated to attractiveness across all cultures.[/URL] Women with a 0.7 WHR (waist circumference that is 70% of the hip circumference) are usually rated as more attractive by men from European cultures. Such diverse beauty icons as Jessica Alba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness#cite_note-build-22), Marilyn Monroe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness#cite_note-24), Sophia Loren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Loren), and the Venus de Milo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_de_Milo) all have ratios around 0.7.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness#cite_note-25"]

[SouthernTease]

I purchased saran wrap, ace bandages, and preparation H... I'm going to see what happens... I need it for saddle bags... gross!

[chelsea1]

I have one of the wraps for the abs that I got from Ross for about $5. It works the same way and it helps with my back. It has velcro on it. Take care Q

When I was working out on a daily, I used a wrap made for the abs and it was amazing.... the results from this thing.

I just came from the gym an hour ago, and I had a new one on, when I took it off I was soak and wet in my mid-section.

like ***Que*** said, go to Ross , Tjmaxx or marshall's they are much cheaper. Got mine from Tjmaxx.

[SouthernTease]

Yeah... I tried it... that sh** don't work...
yeah... you sweat... you have plastic over you...
I measured my thighs 21" before I left my house...
did tredmill & bike and when I came home soaking wet clothes...
and still 21" thighs...

I might just wear compression short when I work out... all that saran wrap...
is gross and messy... and didn't work...

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

bumping...

this has to be done for a period of time to see results, i wouldn't expect major results in just a day...:ohwell:.

i've done this and it works, and yes, you're all sweaty and stuff, but you'll get results. I did it with trashbags underneath girdles. I like the idea of the industrial strength plastic wrap, though.

I'll revisit this starting Monday.

thanks!

[zzirvingj]

BUMP....who's still doing this?

I noticed Poka said it can cause dehydration. What if I just did it for one week to see what happened?

[shtow]

I did this when I was like 12 it did nothing!

[Tami2shoes]

this sounds interesting... definitely something with temporary results though... may be a good idea to try before my beach vacay this summer!

thanks for bumping this! am off to buy saran wrap and prep H
