I've got Epsom salts and regularly use them.

Ok so school drop off and straight to boots as I'm not doing my spin class now. I am too impatient to lose three inches so need to get cracking.

I told my mum. she's struggling to get to grips with it. honestly - old people! it makes sense to me!

I've located the tape measure too

Good luck JC. Grin

Good luck, if it works I may have to try it too! My stomach is a disaster area! Grin

Decided to throw myself into the whole pampering experience.

I'm lying on my bed with an entire tube of Anusol smeared over my stomach and god knows how many metres of cling film wound round me. I've made a nutri blast in the nutri bullet so today is all about HEALTH!

The only thing I'd say is that I'd like to have wound the cling film a bit tighter but it's kind of hard when you're doing this alone!

Anyway, there's no stinging or burning or any sensation at all really. I'm going to leave it on for another twenty mins and then wipe it off and have a bath in Epsom salts. I shall then re measure and report back

I have to leave for work at 11.30 so can't spend too long on this utter madness Grin

Ok let's get bets in I think 1 1/4 inch loss.Smile

TheOneWithTheHair · 14/07/2014 10:03

I think bugger all. The only loss will be in her purse!

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 10:05

I'm thinking an inch?!

The Anusol was 3 quid exactly and the cling film was already in the drawer so I can take the cost Grin

I'm booking this lipo sculpt thing tomorrow when the salon opens. It's laser type lipo and is pricey but who knows? Maybe Anusol and salt baths will work first

Anything yet? I'm sitting with my car keys in hand ready to bolt to boots before the rush.

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 10:25

Ha ha, very funny! I actually bought the Anusol in Waitrose in the end.. There was a choice of a tube of cream and suppositories so made the decision easy for me.

I've just got out of my hot salt bath and will dry off and measure in a few mins.

I'm feeling .... Sleeker! This may be in my head however

The tape will not lie

I have no idea what you are talking about but health isn't the word that springs to mind! Just drink some water have a salad and go for a nice run!

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 10:36

OH MY GOD !!!!

Guess how much!

I took one measurement only around the fattest part of my stomach.. Like I said, I'm not overweight but I have that dreaded apron of fat thing going on and it's just pure revolting ' overhang ' that I hide in jeans usually.

Go on ... Guess! I've re measured in exactly the same place

3 inches?

Namechangearoonie123 · 14/07/2014 10:38

2 inches?

ihatethecold · 14/07/2014 10:39

You're so funny

KatoPotato · 14/07/2014 10:40

This is like the thread where the OP was adamant she was going to use the pressure washer to clean her bathroom! She would not be told!!

Go on, how much??

TheWorldAccordingToJC · 14/07/2014 10:40

TWO inches !!!

I've done the exact same measurement in the exact same place.

So , Anusol plus cling film followed by a heavily salted bath has resulted in a two inch loss!

Obviously I know this is temporary and will all be back when I drink or whatever. BUT for a special occasion - why not ?

I can just see my OHs face when I announce I'm doing it on the morning of our wedding!

Onto lipo sculpt next... I'll report back!

Happy Anusol- ing!!

This is like reading a bad chapter in a Bridget Jones book...

NannyPlumForPM · 14/07/2014 10:41

Oooooh erm...... 0.5 of an inch??

KatoPotato · 14/07/2014 10:42

So I presume you won't be drinking a thing at your wedding?

You'll FAINT!

RunDougalRunQuiteFast · 14/07/2014 10:42

You can use Anusol to tighten up under eye bags as well ...

Oi! I am not Bridget Jones. No pants of steel for a start.

I took several pics .. One of the conveyor belt in waitrose showing the cream being purchased and one of me wrapped up. Trouble is, it's just a revolting image. And I ' look' no different to the naked eye. The apron of fat is still there , obviously.

But I feel... Sleeker! That's the word! Lighter maybe? Skin feels softer.

It's not a miracle worker but the tape measure does not lie!
