Re: Carolyn/Need advice/opinion on Ab definition

[Guest guest]

Hi Carolyn, nice to hear from you again. Sorry I didn't explain it

all, I did forget to mention that yes I'll still be exercising. I

just need that much more help with defining my abs. I don't know if

you remember me mentioning that I had a c-section, for my last

pregnancy.

I am very interested in what you said about vaseline. How does the

vaseline work, when applying it to your abs, while including that

with your exercise? Have you tried that before? Or did someone,

you know, tried that and it worked?

Looking forward to hearing from you again.

hugs, Anela

carolyn,

i've been looking at L'Oreal Sublime Slim Tightening + Toning

Treatment Gel. it would feel good even if it's not a permanent

thing--the illusion of a smooth tummy for a short time (until I ran

out of the stuff)!

ah, the wonders of caffeine!

hi anela - well, what i was saying was that, in my opinion.... you

could rub useless old vaseline (or for some other examples, water, or

eye cream, or salad dressing) and get the same effect that you would

get from cutting gel... which is nothing.

hi stacey - i dont mean to offend, really i dont... but it sounds

like a waste of good money to me.

I figured I'd chime in on this and just simply say that there are NO quick fixes for anything. Anything you go to do takes work, unfortunately.

carolyn,

i'm sure it is a waste of money! no offense taken. if i were going to

get it i would have to find it in a clearance bin and have a

coupon--until then I will be slathering on my regular moisturizer and

doing my workouts:)
