I went to London Weight Management!

This is the 2nd time I grab a free-trial on the slimming program and last weekend, and this time at London Weight Management.

It was a Saturday and I am supposed to be there for 3 hours. After putting the kids to sleep, I thought I could sneak out easily. Unfortunately, QQ refuse to let me go, so I let her tagged along (while I kept scolding her inside the car until the outlet at The Mines).

Since we were already late (negotiating with her at home), we reached late. Finding a parking wasn’t easy on weekends,  then we had to lined up at Mc Donald to buy her a lunch, I was so burning furious to find out the line we waited was a pick-up line! Not wanting to queue again, we went to KFC, but too bad, very long queue too. Not wanting to waste more time (since I leave the boys at home), I dragged her straight to the slimming centre, and asked one of the consultants there to go buy for me.

Just like Mayfair I visited sometime back, my first free trial at London Weight Management consists of
(1) A one-on-one consultation -40 mins
(2) Body analysis -20 mins
(3) 1 customised London Full Body Slimming Treatment- 2hours

Unlike Mayfair, I like them as they do not hard sell. After the first 2 parts is done, they start treatment on me. So what do you think they do in slimming program?

First: Steam sauna (10mins ) -to force the body sweat out the excess salt and toxins and thereby reduced a great deal of your water weight. I was lead into single room, and QQ had to wait at the dressing area. Although first few minutes were rather relaxing, I find it so boring and can’t wait to get out from the steaming room. So hot! I almost dying inside.

Second: Dead sea salt scrub 5 mins and Hot blanket wrap (20mins)

I had to lie on a bed and the consultant scrub dead sea salt all over my body, meaning you have to remove all your clothes, wearing only a disposable panty provided. Why sea salt? ( Sea salt is applying it on skin also increases our metabolism rate so more fat will be burn in the process). After that I was lightly wrapped with a plastic and then covered with a hot blanket for 20 minutes. This part was the most unbearable. Same goes for slimming treatment at Mayfair. I almost lost consciousness until I had to keep on asking QQ to blow some cool air on my face!

Third: Using machine with vibrating pads (30 mins) -vibrating pads to raise your metabolism and suggest special massages for inch and weight-loss for specific areas of your body. This was the most relaxing part of the whole session and I kept asking QQ to increase the speed!

Result: Loss of 300g and 5.4cm (total up from many areas from the body like arms, waist, thights, buttock). Although I believe it is more to lost of water from the body than the weight.

So, although I wish to get rid of my 5-month-look tummy, do you think I signed up? No, I don’t. With the tortured in that 2 hours, I rather die. I would rather cut down my calorie (eat less rice and white bread), do some simple tummy exercise, or have the urut makcik (malay massage lady) to come over weekly to help me rub down the stubborn fats.

What a torture session through such slimming program!
