But does it really work?

It sure does!

Wow! So, I have a trip coming up. I'll be heading back to Florida for another PAYcation. We'll be staying at a resort with it's own private beach. That means I'm going to want to pack a bathing suit to soak up some rays. 

All the swimsuits I've accumulated since becoming a mom are very...well, blah. They are designed to hide the traces of how motherhood changed my body. Since kids, I've hated shopping for bathing suits. It was a chore to find something that
A) covered up my stretch marks and mommy pooch,
B) didn't show too much of my newly expanded thighs, and
C) looked somewhat cute.
That all translates into BLAH!  Nothing special. Just something to wear IF I got near a pool or beach (which I've kept to a minimum). 

March of last year, we were in Dallas for the ItWorks Bootcamp. The hotel we stayed at had an indoor pool and hot tub. Friends of ours sent me a  text inviting us to join then in the pool one morning. We hadn't packed suits, so my husband and I made a quick trip to Walmart to find something to wear by the pool. I hadn't wore a bikini in 12 years. I wanted so badly to get back into one, and since my tummy had changed so much since using the ItWorks wraps, I was confident I could rock a bikini that day. Suit after suit, I finally settled on one. I wasn't 100% happy, but crunched for time and a limited selection, I bought a bikini. By the time we made it back to the hotel, our friends were finishing up at the pool, and wee needed to get ready to head to the next training session that was about to take place. So, that bikini got tossed in my suitcase. 

The next month, I ran across the bikini again. I decided I wanted to try it on again. I was so happy with how I looked, I took a selfie and text it to my husband. Then I realized what a big milestone I had reached. I was happy with how I looked. Happy with my reflection in the mirror. I text my husband and asked if I could share my results on Facebook (that's how confident I was...I wanted everyone to share in my accomplishment). Before he'd given me approval, I was posting. 12 years! Back in a bikini for the first time in 12 years and after 5 pregnancies.  This is the picture I was eager to share:

That was April 2013. That leads us to today. The kids and I made a trip to the zoo. After we finished there, we headed to the mall because my oldest daughter wanted to spend some of the money she had left over from her birthday. While at the mall, I got to thinking that I'd like to give bathing suit shopping another go. This time I wouldn't be crunched for time. We browsed the racks in a few stores. I wasn't seeing anything that I felt would work. My poor kids try so hard to help me search for the right suit, but it just didn't seem to be anywhere we looked. I told them, "We'll look in this last store. If I don't find one in there, I'm done today."  The store we went in actually had something that I could tell was a possibility. I thumbed through the tops to find my size, then we made our way to the dressing room. I tried it on, and OMG, it fit, AND I actually liked how it looked on me. There I went again taking a selfie to send my husband. Even my kids were excited that I'd found "the one."  I paid for my new bikini and we made our way home. 

After getting the kids in bed, I went back to my room to unpack my purchase. I figured I'd try it on again just to see before I removed the tags. Wow! Again, I'm so pleased with how I look. I took another picture in front of the mirror. Then ...déjà vu. I realized it was a year ago this month that I had reached such a big milestone. I flipped though the pictures saved on my phone to find the one I took last year. I had to compare. This time, I'm even more happy with what I saw. See for yourself:

My wrapping journey started in June 2012. I never want my tummy to look like my Before picture again. I've routinely wrapped my stomach once a month since I first began. I do not diet (are you kidding me? I love food), and the most exercise I get is pushing a shopping cart while I walk around the grocery store. I'm a busy mom. I need something that works, works fast, and is easy. And I found it. It's called ItWorks for a reason. And it's made me one happy, happy lady.

I'm bikini ready for my trip to Florida.  Are you?  I can and want to help you get there.  It all started with one wrap for me, and my life has been forever changed.  Click on the link to check out my website and visit my Facebook too.  I have lots of other success stories and pictures.
