Weight loss plus a horrid period. No way.

I tend to have horrid monthly visitor. Plus trying to stay positive about myself.
So here is what I do to make my life a little better. Hopefully some of you may have better way to go about it than me. I'm a stay at home mom.

I lather up some olive oil, roman chamomile, lavender, peppermint, and ginger oil. Slap that on my body like a wrap. So losing some water while aiding my symptoms. Wrap for 1 hr. Lay towel on top with heating pad.


I have homemade wrap recipes too and streetchmarks as well.

Let me know.

    If it works and it's worth it to you...seems like a lot of work. I don't have an hour to lie around in lavender to help with water weight. I got training to get done.

    I will drink some dandelion tea or take a little water pill if it gets very bad or if I have a date.

    Magnesium is supposed to help. Taking too much in supplement form can upset your digestive system but it is also absorbed through the skin. Good reason to take a nice long epsom salt bath IMO.

    Wraps don't work....

    A calorie deficit is all you need to lose weight.

    The subject is misleading but I think she may just be talking about keeping water weight at bay.
