My Story:

Recently I was offered a awesome opportunity to review a It Works! Body Applicator Wrap thanks to "It Works! Wrap & Tone in 45!" Distributor: Amy Bomberry. She was wonderful to work with! I have struggled with my weight after having my first born and going from a happy 149 lbs. to a ballooning 209 lbs. being only 5'3 this was a HUGE difference! I managed to lose 30 lbs but continued to struggle to lose the weight, then it just became a roll coaster... I finally managed to get back down to 169 lbs. , but even with this big weight lose I still had a "gut". I could feel my muscles tightening underneath and I "felt skinny" but did not look it. Then shortly after I became pregnant with my second child and again ballooned to 216 lbs. I managed to lose 35 lbs. but was FAR from my goal of 135 lbs. and being fit and healthy... I soon became discouraged and gave up and slowly began to gain it all back... I hated my body and found myself constantly trying to hide my body... Shortly after, I connected with Amy through my Facebook Page "Money Saving Mommas and Poppas" who like a said offered me an amazing opportunity to review the It Works! Body Wraps. So here I am to review this product for you all and for those of who struggle with your weight as well hopefully y encourage you to contact Amy and try one as well, and begin you weight lose journey! I hope to begin mine and take you with me! Let me tell you it is HARD to put myself out there like this and show my faults and my body to the world. I have very little self esteem and self motivation, so if I can do this you can too! Lets do it together!
What is It Works?
"The It Works body wrap is a detoxifying wrap that works to target the areas YOU choose in a 45-minute application. The body wrap is approximately 21″ long and 11″ wide at it’s widest point. It comes pre-packaged and ready for use right out of the bag. There is no need for a messy application process. Simply pick the area you want to get results in and place the applicator smoothly on your body and use saran wrap or an ace bandage to keep it in place for 45 minutes."
You can achieve better results by drinking lots of water during your wrap day and for 3 days after, since the product continues to work for 72 hours after you remove it.
So take an hour for yourself, relax and lose. "
There is a whole It Works system! For more info or to order your own visit Amy at" It Works! Wrap & Tone in 45" on Facebook.
Wrap Time:

Starting Weight : 207 lbs. :(
Goal: 135 lbs.
Tips and Instructions
1. Take a hot shower right before applying the wrap (helps to open pores). Do NOT use any soap or lotion as these can block pores and keep formula from properly absorbing.
2. Apply wrap to desired area and wrap with glad wrap or something similar (to hold into place). Leave wrap on for a MINIMUM of ...45 min ( I recommend longer, can wear overnight if desired).
3. While wearing wrap, drink 1-2 bottles of water. After removing wrap drink ½ your body weight in ounces of water for the next 3 days. (if you weigh 200, drink 100 oz of water per day, which is 5 bottles).
4. Limit fatty foods, caffeine, sugar during this time also.
5. Do not shower immediately after removing the wrap, give it a few hours to make sure properly absorbed.
6. Exercise and healthier eating also can better your results. Smoking, fat, sugar, and caffeine (among other things) can slow your results down as these put toxins into your body.
7. Medications can affect your results, also if you are female and use the wraps around the time of your period it can lessen your results as well.
8. AVERAGE results is 1-3 inches loss (this can vary). This is total inch loss from the 3 measurements you take (belly button, 1-1 ½ inches above and below belly button).
First Hour:
I followed all the instruction to a "T". (Except the shower part, I just washed the area well.) I applied the wrap and wrapped myself tight in plastic wrap. It feels like Icy Hot on your skin, but I liked that because I could feel it "working". With the combo of this wrap and drinking lots of water there was lots of "potty breaks". I suggest you do it at a time when you can lay down and relax. I found trying to do this and stay still and go about taking care of kids and housework was hard. I also suggest you have someone wrap you in plastic wrap, it is hard to do yourself. I wore my wrap for a little over a hour. I did see results but nothing EXTREME at first. I also suggest if you do this to buy 3 to 4 wraps to see MAXIMUM results. If you're like me and very unhealthy it will take a few to completely detox! I will say my stretch marks looked 20x better!!!! That I LOVED!
Results: Nothing Extreme maybe 1/2 a in.
*Stretch marks looked 20x better!
Stay tuned to see my results.......
24 Hours After:
Results: I have lost about 2 in. total so far, but I do not see much of a difference picture wise....I slacked on my diet a bit today because my mommas fixed a awesome meal :/ other then that I have stuck to it! Another factor *ladies* is "aunt flow" they tell you to wait till after because naturally you hold water and bloat and will not see full results... Aunt flow decided she would pay me a visit right in the middle of this review :(....So my results may not be as good as expected...poooo
*Reminder: Eat well while doing this no fatty, sugary, salty foods, and drink TONS of water!! I'm also take a Green Tea dietary supplement (I already was) you DO NOT have to!!
48 Hours After:
Results: I have lost about 2 1/2 in. total and 7 lbs in 2 days!!!! I wish I had the nerve to put the "skin tummy" shots up here I have sent them to a few people..I am a true believer now that is for sure!
Here is a side by side:
72 Hours After:
Results: About another inch lost! So excited! I am a true believer now! You be the judge.
TOTAL:
Results: Overall I am SOOOO HAPPY with this product. I lost weight, inches, and feel better about myself! It even made my stretch marks look better! I would love to wrap again. I am a true believer and will be telling everyone to try it!
Inches: About 4 in (maybe a little more) lost around belly button area.
