I'm a Tiger Who Reluctantly Earned Her Stripes

     Like many of you, I am a mother. Very likely, like many of you, I have stretch marks. And I don't care what anyone says about being a tiger who's earned her stripes, those marks make me very self-conscious about my appearance. If you had asked me 3 years ago, 2 years ago, or even 8 months ago if I thought that I'd ever wear a bikini again, I would have said, absolutely, positively, no way in... well, you know. Not a chance. Today, although the summer of 2012 is at its end, and my next tropical vacation is still several months away, and I'm certainly not wearing one today... I think that a bikini might be in my future.
     How is it possible? Science hasn't yet developed a way to rid the body of stretch marks, you say? You might be right, but you might be wrong. I'm sure that my stretch marks aren't gone (I can still feel them somewhat) but when I look in the mirror, I don't see them! And guess what? That means that other people can't see them, either!
     A couple weeks ago, I actually posted a picture of my tummy on my Facebook page. Which means I let some 700 people (more if it happened to go viral) see my stomach. That is crazy! I mean, I post before and after pictures of other people's tummies all the time, but my very own? Wow, either I've gotten very brave these last few months, or I am much more comfortable with the appearance of my body (it's the latter, I'm not brave).     I started using the It Works! products in April. In June, I took the leap and became a distributor. By the end of July, I had gotten rid of twenty pounds (twenty pounds that didn't want to go away before, no matter what crazy diet or new workout routine I tried). As of today, I have lost thirty pounds! Because of the wraps, my skin is tighter, and the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks are greatly diminished.
Support For Colon FunctionAlkalize, Balance, Detoxify      Now, I don't just use the wraps. I only wrap once or twice a month - but I use many of the supplements daily. Six It's Vital (three am, three pm),  ThermoFit (two with breakfast, one with lunch), two scoops of Greens in my water mid-afternoon, FatFighter every evening after dinner (consistently my biggest meal of the day), and a combination of our Stretch Mark/Anti-Aging Cream and Defining Gel (sometimes called a "Skinny Massage") twice daily, and two Regular every night.
     This regimen helps my body detox - we are subject to an assault of toxins everyday, in our food, in the air, household cleaners, personal products, you name it - it's probably toxic. By giving my body the nutrients it needs with It's Vital & Greens, I help my body bulk up its defenses and rid myself of toxins. ThermoFit accelerates my metabolism with vitamin B12, acai berry and raspberry ketones. It gives me a ton of energy to get through my long days as a student, an entrepreneur, and the mother of a very spirited toddler. When I take FatFighter up to an hour after my largest meal, it binds with 30% of the carbohydrates and over 70% of the bad fats in the meal I just ate - this helps my body not create new fat! Regular is a supplement for colon health, cleaning out little bits that get stuck, but with no urgency effect. It's really important for the detox process.

     The combination of Stretch Mark/Anti-Aging and Defining Gel - which when I'm a millionaire I just might bathe in - I apply from my chin to my knees twice a day. This helps deeply moisturize, tone, tighten and firm my skin. Not to mention the skin care products (which I will save for another day, another post) - I will look 27 forever!
