    Waist training won't probably won't have the effects you're hoping for. You can 'train' your waist to fit a smaller corset over time, but it won't really show if you don't have the corset on. I know Kim Kardashian or someone has a corset/diet program, but the corset only simulates a smaller waist. It wont give you one permanently. Waist training also comes with some hazards, so it's important to do research and go about things carefully if you decide to do it.

    Your best bet for a smaller looking waist is dieting to shed excess weight on your waist, and toning your midsection. It sounds like you might be planning to do that already though :)

    after i had my first baby, i wore a very tight girdle and it helped tremendously with getting my uterus back into it's original size. but it did nothing for my weight loss. i did it again after each pregnancy, but like i said, it won't help with weight loss or even with losing inches. i simply found it helpful for internal stuff.

    OMG - that is the most terrifying thing I have seen today. And here I was thinking the OP was just talking about doing planks or something.

    That's what I thought she was talking about to! :( Or like... exercises to shape your waist! Not wearing a *kitten* corset.

    OP is asking about wearing tight corsets to become thinner by squishing all of her insides into different spots.

    Not sure what exactly you mean by "waist training," but if you're talking about ab exercises in conjunction with an overall fitness program then it would be helpful. On the other hand, if you're trying to target your weight loss to one specific area, the consensus seems to be that this will not be as effective as you hope. Our bodies, it seems, will burn fat from wherever they damn well please.

    Personally, I work in ab exercises with my normal weight training program, three times per week.

    No, they do the opposite.

    Most people are upright at least a few hours during the day. During that time, the abdominal muscles are engaged to keep you upright. When using a waist trainer (or TLSO), the core muscles don't have to work as hard and can atrophy.
