Hello All,

So, I am due for my last child next month, “don’t see how but that’s what the Dr. says”
This will be number 3 for me and my hubby, he was snipped last month, so I know it’s the last.
I never really lost the weight after my first 2, I wasn’t Over weight, just not in shape, could stand to lose on average like 20 lbs. to get back to where I was. Now, I think I will need to lose close to 50. I am trying to get to 150.
Like I said, I never even really put toward much effort before, I went to the gym occasionally, but Never changed eating habits, and so on.
This time, I have no excuse to keep the weight on, I was using the ol’ excuse, well what if I lose weight and get pregnancy again and have to start all over… Stupid me.
SO.. This lady on my FB is selling “detox wraps” I have never tried anything like this before. I really just need to work on my calf’s and tummy area. My lower legs are really big, for some reason and my hubby always make fun of me for not having ankles, and of course my mid section.
Has anyone ever tried these before, or have you tried any “do it yourself” wraps, so I don’t have to spend all the money if it will not work. I am going to be doing other things, like working out, and changing eating habits, but I would like to try these. No I will not be breast feeding so I don’t have to worry about that.

What can I do next?

1It doesn't work! Trust me, so many fb online store sells like kinoki patch, slimming patch, didn't work!
However, in Indonesia old time, and some women still do till today( including me), we use long cloth wrapped very tightly around the waist for 40 days. Started right away after the birth. It was really hard to breath,but you can see the hourglass waist after that, I promise! My sister did it, she was patient and she is so slim. I wasn't patient because it was hottt, so I never lose baby fat.
This method actually was in one of Oprah Winfrey show. She had a video phone with one of Indonesian woman who show how to do it with her.
And buy this herbal, too. Special for after giving birth. You must ask someone to wrap and tie that very tightly right exactly under the breast till above the pubic hair.
I don't know if this website send this to US, but you can try. It is usually used by indigenous indonesian, but many chinese born Indonesian use this method, too.
Or if they can't, just buy good quality corsets. Good luck :))

Detox wraps are usually what women do a day before a wedding or high school reunion, just to take a few inches (if that) off the waist for the weekend. Aside from that, it doesn't do anything else. You need to eat healthier, portion control and exercise (including weight lifting) if you really want to lose the weight and to tone.

Most likely it will not work. You will lose....money. Try to become more active and eat more veggies and whole grain. Losing weight will take some time and there is no wrap or pill or patch that will change that. Good luck for baby #3 !!

Our company has a new healthy weight solution. I didn't recognize my friend from Illinois when I saw her at the convention. She is down to a size six and looks 10 years younger. She was unable to lose after her fourth baby until now. She got so tired of telling her story that she made us a video to show. Meet my friend, Marla. http://meetmarla.com
Let me know if you have any questions. My husband has gone from a 38 waist to a 34 since it came out in January. We were not in the focus group to get it early as Marla was. He is thrilled to look better now than when retiring from the airforce. Email me thru mamasource if questions.

Detox wraps are not a long term fix. It is my understanding that it is just water weight you lose. The only way to lose the weight is with hard work....exercise and nutrition. Our body is like a bank. You get out of it what you put into it. I put together 90 day challenge groups based on exercise, nutrition and accountability. You can message me if you would like more information. Congrats on baby #3.
