It Works!

Every heard of that crazy wrap thing?  Well my lovely hair stylist just started selling It Works! Wraps because of the results she got.  She's using them once a week to prep for a Vegas trip, but says once a month would maintain results.

So you basically put this large cloth over your belly (or thighs, arms, wherever you want) and it's coated in lotion that smells like icy-hot.  You wrap seran-wrap around it to keep the mess in and go to bed.  I wore mine for the full 8-hrs. 

I measured before and again right after I took it off.  No change yet.  I measured again at 24, 48 and finally 72 hours and there actually was a slight difference.  The measurement across the belly button had shrunk an inch, and right above and below it shrunk a half inch each.  Apparently you get can get bigger results with repeat use, but I'm not quite ready to go fully into this yet.  But if I can drop this last 20 lbs and notice my skin is a little saggy, these wraps would be great to tighten that up.

So I purposely wore a good pair of "muffin top" shorts for this little project.  I would like to add that with a loose shirt and some heels, these shorts are quite the attention grabber.

I hope it isn't just me who sees the difference.  The bulge on the sides are much smaller on the right picture!  And I noticed a bigger difference while wearing the shorts that they were much more comfortable.  Now it's the 22nd and the jeans I'm wearing today are looser than normal...I would have worn a belt if I had noticed this morning!  My skin is also super soft from that smelly lotion.

So that's my little piece on the It Works! Wrap...would I go to a wrap party and try it again?  Sure would!
