Phoenix La Beaute: jelly belly + thunder thighs + bye bye arms ):

I've had enough and I'm saying this again- I'm tired of feeling FAAAAAAT!

Dejavu. i was feeling this very same way 2.5 years back, looking over at my photos from my 21st birthday party and i was like.. what the s***, why am i so CHUBBY?! and thinking to myself "NAH-UH I'm freaking 21 and it's my PRIME!" I SHOULD do whatever to lose all this weight and look slim and feel good about myself man.

So i kinda did the unhealthy way and did a total yo-yo diet, I'd eat 1 grapefruit and have a soupy lunch with maybe half bowl of rice and nothing else for the rest of the day. No snacks, no soda, only water. Haha i would imagine any nutritionist looking at this would be shaking their heads big time now. BUT! I managed to lose about 12kg in about 3 months! Which to refresh your memories.. i looked like this:

No, I wasn't stick thin nor was i "OMG I HAVE THIGH GAP!" thin, but i was in a size/shape that i was very happy to be in! I DID get what i wanted, but in a very unhealthy way. I miss wearing the above dresses.. the kind that clings on your every curve.

Well that being a YO YO DIET, means YO YO WEIGHT LOSS too haha I managed to keep the weight off and maintained for maybe for a year or so, then errrrr.. Leon proposed and now after 2 years i have steadily gain back 10kg. TEN FREAKING KILOGRAMS silently crept back onto my body!

May i present to you.. +10 kilogram later:

LOL WELL HELLO AGAIN JELLY BELLY THUNDER THIGHS BYE BYE ARMS, I SEE THAT YOU'RE BACK. FML?!

Hahaha for one I'm big on denial and a queen of procrastination (on exercising + dieting of course) and my smelly fiance simply loves feeding me! It is soooo hard to resist his temptations! haha It's not like I'm prepping for our wedding already since it's still quite some time before the wedding, but i don't want to feel HUGE anymore!

So I was BEYOND RELIEVED when Phoenix La Beaute, a boutique salon located at Palais Renaissance (near Pan Pacific hotel), which specializes in sustainable skin health and weight management treatments, reached out to me and offered to create a slimming programme just for me to help me attain my ideal weight loss without the YO YO effect this time! :D

Came for my 1st slimming treatment with nadnut because she's interested in firming up as she has lost a whole bunch of weight herself (ENVIOUS MUCH) the past year and to prep for her upcoming wedding in March!

We were served a nice cool glass of water and asked to fill out a form since it's both our 1st time here!

My 1st weigh-in!

Walkway to the treatment rooms

Since we were here for a treatment together, we took the "couple room" so we can chit chat hehe girls doing what girls do best! (the partition can be moved away if you wanna see your darling/friend or whoever you're there with during the treatment)

Left our belongings and shoes in the locker and personal shoe cabinet before we start the treatment.

There was a personal shower + body wrap room + m-Pulse machine + treatment beds for 2 right in the couple room.

so we both 1st went to change into our robe, I was doing the Phoenix Lipolysis Program which helps to breakdown stubborn fat around my jelly belly + thunder thighs! This 2 problem areas, always a huge issue for girls like me! Tsk tsk tsk.

So nadnut went to shower in preparation of her treatment (She's doing the Universal Contour Wrap, which guarantees a 6 inch or more loss for every wrap omg! I'm doing this treatment on my next visit, but for this visit, they must breakdown my stubborn faaaaat 1st!)

So while she showers, my therapist applied an ampuoules ( for fat burning / reduction of cellulite / reduction of water retention ) all over my problem areas!

Followed by this machine where the pads of the machine is strapped to my belly + thighs- this machine is damn power! It uses electrotherapy which stimulates the muscles to break down fats on the padded areas while using infrared and penetrating active ingredients (the ampoules) for fat burning purpose!

There's a call button so in case of anything i can call for the therapist immediately, feel very safe throughout the treatment! (:

I was asked to increase the intensity on my own (and of course they advised on the recommended maximum mode so i don't exceed the norm) when i feel like i can handle more, lol it's really damn power, i feel like i literally did like 2000 sit ups with my muscle twitching and tensing up for that whole 20 -30 minutes.

Then i was in the M-Pulse Sauna for 20 mins, to speed up my metabolism rate and blood circulation, it didn't feel uncomfortable for toooo hot as it's not the conventional water steam sauna and it reminds me of ganbanyoku, they provided me with magazines too so i wasn't bored at all the entire 20 mins i was in there since i couldn't bring my phone in, heh. Sweat sweat sweat more better! Apparently there are many other benefits for the M-Pulse machine as well such as reducing blood pressure etc.

lol it's quite funny too cos being in the M-Pulse it's like a very chill-out disco or something lol, there's music playing in there and the light will pulse is all sorts of pretty colors! heh

After M-Pulse i was given a sea salt body scrub and covered in the FIR thermal blanket to aid in the increases of metabolism (burn fat buuuuurn!), blood circulation and eventually weight loss while reducing water retention and free fatty acid through pores!

hahaha nadnut snapped a pic of me in the FIR thermal blanket, laugh while you can! LOL

Did a weigh-out and i left Phoenix La Beaute about 1kg lighter!

I know it's definitely water weight but my therapist explained to me that after this treatment, i was encouraged to drink about 2-3 litres of water the next few days after treatments to continue the detox and cleansing process as the electrotherapy padded machine works to breakdown the huge fat molecule to small fatty molecules which will be flushed out of my body by drinking more water.

★ After the treatment:

the next few days i was really good and i tried to drink as much water as i could manage and i felt that my jelly belly did become relatively flatter! In fact i had 2 church members + a girlfriend asking me if i lost weight especially around my waist area actually looks slimmer too!

It was really motivating and made me want to quickly go back to Phoenix La Beaute for my next treatment. hehe

My therapist also spent some time finding out how i usually take my meals + what does my meals usually consist of and advised me on making some small changes like taking lesser carbs during dinner time and let my lunch be the more filling meal and she also gave me a meal plan which was very easily achievable, basically not making too much change from my current diet as they believe in this method where it's easier to achieve ideal weight/inch loss goals and so no extreme and drastic changes so after losing weight it's not that easy for the weight to bounce back too! *thumbs up*
