Motivation Monday & Beauty hacks for WLS patients

  • Popular Post

I am 3 years out and I am at my all time lowest weight! I have fluctuated over these years 10-15 pounds. I am beyond ecstatic at this accomplishment as I have undergone an excessive amount of stress and emotional turmoil. This is the best decision of my life. Use your tool, to lose!

Highest weight: 237

Today's weight: 142

Height: 5'3"

New Goal weight: 125- 130

I drink about 120 ounces of Water daily. Lean meats and veggies. Recently started training again. Circuit training and strength training. I have not had any plastics whatsoever. 100% natural all around.

Beauty hack for WLS patients. These 3 things have helped tremendously to reduce cellulite, rippling and smoothing the surface. The Nivea works amazing! I've lost nearly 100 pounds and no one can tell. The Preparation H works to reduce cellulite and contour as well. It's also good for bags under your eyes. The wrap helps me tighten my tummy bulge and shape my waist. Seriously folks, reasonably priced and worth the time. I usually apply twice daily, immediately after showering. It helps if you exfoliate well and apply compression of some form. The waist band, saran wrap or under armor. You can find at your local drugstore or Walmart.

Serum. Concentrated.

Oooooo I love all these beauty tips! My new favorite is coconut oil. I was giving some to the dog on a treat and figured "what the heck?" and smeared it on my arms, legs, face. I'm a product junkie (when I die I hope heaven is a combo of a dog park and a Sephora) and have lots of creams and potions. Well don't you know my skin looked and felt better than ever with that Trader Joes coconut oil right out of the jar? Granted the dog kept trying to lick me for several minutes but it worked!! Keep the tips coming ladies!!!

awesome. I've heard great things about it. I will try that.
Dog park and Sephora, add a beach and that's a heaven I would love to be in.

I'm obsessed with products.

Ok ladies (and maybe gents?) I just got back from Walmart. I could not find the Nivea serum but I did find this firming cream. I will test it out and report by findings in a week. Gosh this is FUN!! post-77434-14629237512234_thumb.jpg

Sweet let us know!!!

I love the way coconut oil makes my skin feel. I add a few drops of lavender essential oil and it smells wonderful.

That sounds like an awesome beauty hack. I'm going to try that. Oh yeah and did you all know old coffee grinds can be used to exfoliate your skin and reduce cellulite?! Try it.

I did the coffe scrub yesterday and my skin is baby smooth with this spectacular glow. Seriously to die for. Definitely worth a try.

@@missjaded44 I was looking at the prep H, to try your suggestion, and found there are a few different types of that as well (I had no idea!). Anyhow, which one do you use?
