Slendertone and me – Challenge finished
I have completed the challenge I set for myself – 6 weeks of Slendertone.. For the last 6 weeks I bared my flabby tummy for the world to see! I did not do any extra exercise or diet any less than I had already been doing. I did not go into this challenge to lose weight. I went into this challenge to tone up my flabby tummy, that had never had exercise before, that had been stretched through two pregnancies, rapid weight gain of 20 kilos in both pregnancies. Stretch marks on my stomach are terrible! I wear what I call my “Fancy Pants” the ones that go up to your boobs and hold in all that flab, to make you look slimmer.. though with my round tummy, it made me look like I was a few months pregnant!
So after dieting to get to my goal weight for my wedding in March last year.. and maintaining it ever since (flutating between 57 and 59 over the last year). My ultimate goal weight was 55 kilos. Please note that I was 49 kilos when I fell pregnant in 2009 and went up to over 70kilos within the 9 months of pregnancy. I have always been a naturally skinny person – until I fell pregnant.
I was desperate to lose the tyre around my tummy, but didn’t know how.. I am hopeless at situps! Thats when I contacted Slendertone and bought the Ab System. So to those a little skeptical of gadgets.. below is the proof of my results. Week by week over the last 6 weeks.
Lastweek I mentioned that I realised these childbaring hips are here to stay. I have accepted that my body shape has changed and I need to figure out how to wear clothes that accentuate my now hour glass figure (any clothing brands want to help me out there?? hehe)
I think the ultimate question on people’s minds was did I loose any weight.
At the beginning of the challenge I weighed 58.2 kilos. 6 Weeks later I weighed in at 56 kilos (I hope it stays there!)
The results are in. Day 1, Day 7, Day 15, Day 22,Day 29, Day 36 and the final Day 42!
(please ignore Day 29 as I was severely bloated thanks to a late night fish and chips dinner – but I still took the photo!)
I have lost 14.5cm around my waist. Thats 6 inches! I am blown away with the results.
I love the fact that my tummy is tighter, that when I have a meal my stomach doesn’t stick out like I am 6 months pregnant.. and that my clothes fit me (and some are a little loose!)
I will continue to use my slender tone. I honestly think its a great way to help those who struggle with toning their tummy. I wasn’t looking for my Abs. I was looking for a flatter stomach so I didn’t feel self-concious when I went out and I now have that!
Oh.. one last thing.. YES every time I walk past a mirror or window and take a look at my stomach… I go “YES!! Its awesome.. I love my body!”
I am proud of my body and my achievement.

Leanne @ Deep Fried Fruit
Great results!
Yay!!! Great results. Good on you for sticking to it. Well done xxx
I think I might give it a go because as soon as I eat anything my belly pokes out and it looks like I’m pregnant, after 3 babies very close my tummy has stretched a lot and definitely out of shape! And congrats, 6 inches is massive!
Good for you! just clicked to see what slender tone actually was… love any product that works without rigorous exercise and diet!
Congratulations! You should totally be proud of yourself
Well done! How fabulous for you….having lost weight and maintaining it for a couple of years, I know how it feels to be impressed with yourself – tee hee!
Keep it up

Great job Yvette!
I’m a fan of excercise and sit ups myself, so I’ll just keep plugging away at them
Well done! Congrats on the results!
great achievement! Well done!
Is it really that simple?
Wow!! Good on you, and such great results
Looking good Mama!! Great results, the best part being that you are feeling good and confident!! X Karen
Seriously mate I am so bloody impressed! I am almost wishing I wasn’t pregnant so that I could give this a go now!
I hate my flabby tummy.. I am going to go and check out their prices now!
Well done! I have fancy pants but they are too hot in Summer! Looks like a great way to lose some of the ‘tyre’!
Fabulous Yvette, you should be so proud!
thank you I am!!
Gosh that is just amazing huh? So much difference in only 6 short weeks, well done lovely
its definitely boosted my confidence!!
That’s a fantastic result! What a big difference. Thanks for sharing your experience. Rachel x
thank you!
Fantastic results. Congratulations on your hard work
thank you!
Hey – your results are fantastic – well done! Just wondering – do you need to keep using the belt to keep your stomach toned?
Thank you! Yes keep working at it.. but more 2-3 times a week rather than daily
6 inches is amazing! You must feel like a million bucks with your new flatter tummy. I have just started to lose the result of two kids and bad eating, however that flabbyness will still be there at my goal. 55 kg would be ultimate for me, but it is very hard to maintain, so I am going for 60, and then see how I go. I was 57 when I got married 5 and a bit years ago, and before I got preggers.
I do!! Keep working at it.. You will get tehre!!
