WEEK 1 Comments: When I started my wraps I had just had 2 babies a year apart so my body had basically been carrying babies for 18 months; it took a huge toll on my body. Before starting the wraps I had: þ Big itchy stretch marks; þ My belly was hanging from having my belly stretched with the pregnancies; þ Dermatitis and scarring on the tops of my arms; þ Heavy Cellulite; and þ I was also loosing my milk supply – I was only expressing about 30mls of milk. I was a bit apprehensive before my first wrap as I did not know what to expect. John & Paula were great – they explained the process and John spent the entire first wrap with me. During the wrap I felt very hot and perspired heaps. When John un-wrapped me I felt great. After my second wrap I felt my milk supply returning and started expressing more milk – after the third wrap I was getting 180mls of milk and it was great to be breastfeeding again. I completed 5 x 20 Minute Walking Sessions on the Treadmill – I felt really motivated and encouraged by John & Paula. I was absolutely wrapped when after the first week I had lost 1.7 Kgs / 17.5 cms and felt my energy levels increasing. I also felt more positive mentally than I had for quite a while. WEEK 2 Comments: During the second week I noticed my stretch marks had started to go silver and they stopped itching, my dermatitis on my arms had started clearing up and I noticed my skin was not as dry. I completed 4 x 20 Minute Walking Sessions on the Treadmill this week. The wraps are helping me stay motivated and focused on my little steps toward becoming a healthy mum for my children. I am starting to notice the change in my body through my clothes – they are much looser and my pants are hard to keep up. 3.8 Kgs / 38 cms Lost in Two Weeks – All while lying down and a bit of walking on the treadmill – Fantastic. WEEK 3 Comments: A huge change in the appearance of my stretch marks, the dermatitis and spotting on my arms has all but gone and my skin feels great. I completed 3 x 30 Minute Walking Sessions on the Treadmill this week. I need to buy new clothes! My husband thinks I look great and I have much more energy for the kids and daily chores around the house. The ladies at Play Group have all started to notice and want to know what I am doing. 4.6 Kgs / 41.5 cms Lost in Three Weeks – I feel like I have lost much more than the 4.6 Kgs. I feel great! WEEK 4 Comments: Stretch marks still improving, no noticeable dermatitis and spotting on my arms. Didn’t get to do much exercise this week as the kids have been sick. My energy levels are great though – I have been able to cope well. I am so excited because I fit into my Ripcurl pants I bought 12 months ago; I desperately wanted to fit into these after my first child was born but the second pregnancy stopped that. Achieved all my initial goals – time to set new ones. I feel great and a lot more confident. 5.6 Kgs / 59 cms Lost in Four Weeks – I look great in clothes again – My new Goal: Lose another 15 Kgs – I have just booked my next series of Body Wraps. |
