Marie France Bodyline: Slim for Free Contest
Ivy Thong, 30, accountant
I used to be quite fit and toned, but as I began to put in more hours in my job as an accountant, I found my lifestyle getting more sedentary. I just didn't have the time to exercise, until three months ago, when I started aerobics classes." I also tried to watch my diet. I'd cut down the amount of carbohydrates I ate; my only luxury was a slice of bread with peanut butter and a cup of tea during breakfast. Sometimes, I even skipped my meals. But I didn't enjoy these 'diets', and each time I went on such a diet, the longest I'd last is three weeks. At the end of the three weeks, I'd lose about two kg, but they came back quickly." "My wedding will take place in June 2005, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed." 1 December 2004: First Consultation "The consultation took two hours, so you can imagine how thorough the Marie France staff were. They explained the various treatments and how they work, and performed a string of tests such as fat percentage and Body Mass Index." "My problem areas were the tummy, hips and thighs. I was recommended the Fat Diminishing Therapy, a weight-loss technique developed in Switzerland. According to the consultation, it was an effective program that helps a person slim down naturally without the need for dieting, medication or even strenuous exercise." "My other program was the Seaweed Mask Body Therapy. I would be given a body mask of seaweed packed with minerals and a specially formulated slimming oil. It is supposed to break down the cellulite and fatty deposits on my thigh areas, while eliminating toxins from the tissues. The result? Improved blood circulation and a healthier body." 8 December 2004: First Session "I liked the place as soon as I stepped into it. The Woodlands branch which I went to was very cosy and the staff were very polite and helpful. "The session comprising of warm wrap, massage and cold wrap. I liked the warm wrap - it's actually a Velcro wrap with little wires stuck to it - which means I basically don't have to do anything to get my fat to move! Plus, the staff kept the temperature comfortably warm. I didn't have to worry about getting scalded." "This was followed by a massage, which lasted around 20 minutes. The therapist explained to me that it could get painful when she worked on my tummy and thighs, in order to break down the cellulite. I was grateful for the warning. Except for once or twice when I had to tell her to 'go gentler', I was fine with the massage." "After that was the cold wrap, where they covered my entire body up and gave me the cold treatment. The chemical solution the wrap gave off a pleasant mint fragrance. To ensure I was comfortable throughout, the therapist handed me a hot water bottle." "The session ended with the Seaweed Mask Body Therapy. The paste is supposed to contain a slimming oil which can help weight-loss. I liked this since all I had to do was just lay there, and let the therapist apply the paste all over my body. Yippee!" "I'm not sure how much weight I've lost. The therapist told me that the weight-loss process would be gradual. But yes, I do feel different. Some people may say it's psychological, but when I put on my jeans nowadays, I find they've become less tight." Be back here next month for part 2 of Ivy's diary!
