Week 2:
By the beginning of week 2, sliding into my corset was easy, breezy. I knew just how much to eat, when to eat it and what exercises worked while training.
Although I hadn’t reached my 8 hour/day goal just yet, I was halfway there. I could feel my abdominal muscles pulsing underneath my garment and upon removal, I saw the results of my labor: sweat, sweat and more sweat. So caution ladies, you’ll drip, drop, drip, drippity, drop – the activity, that is: running errands, sitting in class, hitting the gym. So, make sure your outfit choices breathe.

Week 3:
After adjusting my diet: eating smaller portions, lean meats, fruit, veggies and taking a 30-45 minute walk each day, I was able to reach my goal — 8 hours/day. In addition, I was able to tighten the cincher! While I was filled with glee over reaching my goal, it was like beginning all over again. Only this time, as I tightened the cincher, I felt the boning pressing against my ribcage, as if tiny little men in heels were tap dancing on my chest.
This is why ensuring your measurements are correct before placing your order is crucial ladies! I definitely feel I could’ve ordered a size up and avoided this annoyance altogether. As luck would have it, I was able to curb the pinching by wearing a small tank top underneath the trainer. At times this created a sticky feeling underneath my clothes, but it made my overall experience much more pleasant.
Week 4:
Pimp walking into Week 4, I felt satisfied with my experience. I sweated through just about everything I own, but I was rid of my “back boobies.” I also dropped 10 lbs. and lost 3 inches around my waist.
Overall, I don’t think waist training is for the faint of heart. Nevertheless, it’s my opinion, that when combined with eating clean and training dirty, it works! My advice? Know your size and commit – in the end, you’ll see results.
