Theres no way this works.

Ola, its been a while. This is my 2nd blog nearly a year later, why.....because this little story is important. Fact. It may not seem important to many but will change the lives of even more. Believe me when i say, what i write from here on in will be 100% true. I will begin.

Those of you who know me or read my last blog will know that I battled with my body weight for years and eventually won that war. Its been almost 7 years since I got to my goal weight and to say its been an easy 7 years maintenance would be a lie (I already said I would be 100% truthful ^^). But as you have heard it before, it is definitely all worth it.
Something was missing though. And this something believe it or not pulled on my heart. Hours I spent thinking of solutions and trying new methods to get this something I so deserved! Alas I failed............until now.

I have trained many women, of all ages. Gave mountains of fitness and weight loss advice. Gave many motivational talks. And always I get asked the same question 'how do I fix loose skin and stretch marks after weight loss?'. Up until now I had no real answer or guaranteed solution.

I have been training really hard and lifting heavy in hopes that some day I might compete in a physique competition. But after a 112lb (50kg) weight loss, 2 babies and some bad genes, I was left with loose skin and stretch marks. This means that even though I am buff and in good shape, I am not comfortable showing off my stomach, under arms or inner thighs. I hate it. I hate how my lower stomach sags and wrinkles. Or the skin under my arms jiggles. I hate that I put in so much hard work but my skin just won't cooperate. Iv tried many firming lotions and eat clean but nothing has helped. Well maybe my skin is super soft but that's not the point! I figured surgery was my only option. I even asked my dad if he would finance it!

Any of you that have lost weight or had babies or maybe burn or injury scars will understand the longing of wanting a solution which will help clear, repair or even remove these marks. So I constantly have a look out for such a 'miracle' product.

I heard women here in Canada talking, no shouting about these body wraps. I saw the pictures on Facebook, read the testimonials and heart warming stories. I even researched these body wraps through forums, blogs and media sources. It seemed too good to be true! These women were experiencing tighter firmer skin. Reduced visibility of stretch marks and scars. Saggy wrinkly skin was being lifted. All in the comfort of their own homes and at a very affordable price. I couldn't believe it, I had to give it a try to see for myself.

About a week ago I received an invite on Facebook to a 'wrap party' in my city. So I clicked like and joined the group. The party was a few days away and the excitement was already building inside me. The days went by and I couldn't wait to try this wrap and get the results I'd been looking for. Tuesday came and I went to this party which was being held in the city museum. I was met by two lovely girls and they explained some of the products to me. I was brought to the back of the room and had a 'before' picture taken of my stomach, then a piece of cloth covered in lotion wrapped around my stomach. I took my seat and the party went on with product information and some funny antidotes. As I sat there I could feel the lotion seep into my skin, the eucalyptus made me so cold. At the end of the party the same girl that wrapped me removed the wrap and took an 'after' picture of my stomach. I saw no difference, which was disappointing. How did I not get results when everyone else had? She got me to put the wrap back on and leave it on over night. I was still hopefull!
