    Default Been using a NIVEA product and it really works...

    I actually went to a CVS drug store to get something else and bought this product by mistake. It's called, NIVEA Firming Cellulite Gel-Cream. Q10 Plus... I've been using it 2 times a day for over a month and it really has helped my stomach look and feal better. It has firmed up and made my stomach feel softer/smaller. My stomach is actually not looking too bad from being fat for 20 years. LOL I heard some people are alergic to this stuff. But,it has really helped me. Just wanted to tell ya about it. Don

    I'm don't get my surgery until Thursday but I started using a firming cream about a month ago and already see a big difference in my skin. I've been using the Jergan's but it's almost gone. I'll have to buy more when the incisions close. I'll have to try the Nivea. I use their creams for my eczema and it does wonders. I like the scent of their products better too.

    Ahhhhhhh, Nivea! I'm from Germany and back when I was little, that was pretty much the only cream everyone used. My grandma had a huge blue tub of it and that's all she ever used. I still use it. I love all the different Nivea products they now make; my favorite is the body wash and Nivea Soft! I never used firming cream but will give it a try if it really works

    Will add this to my notes of things to get eventually. I am sure I will need it as the weight is falling off.

    I use a combination of products, here's what I notice, the more I massage (and I mean, like deep massage, really move "stuff" around) on my stomach and thighs, the more reduction I'm seeing inch wise....that's not so much the case with the muffin top thing - but other places I'm really seeing a difference.

    And I can't believe I'm going to admit this - but I've also started as I massage various places saying outloud - it's ok for the fat to leave - I don't need it, you're released. I wish I could say THAT was working, but I think it's working in my head as I'm noticing changes.

    LOL - I would probably advise to NOT let anyone hear you talk to your rolls - but you know I figure we've been friends a while, and I'm breaking up with them, so it's ok to tell them goodbye.
