Review: Slim Couture

Hmm... How should I start this post?

Well..

I am a happy customer of Slim Couture. 

Wait, am I too straightforward? Anyway, all my post about Slim Couture are not sponsored or whatsoever. Have no regrets spending so much money on their treatment. Oh wait, there is only one regret. Why didn't I know about them earlier and wasted so much money on other slimming centre?! 

Ever since I started working, my weight have been increasing. To be exact, from 53kg to 65kg! Damn all the snacks and pineapples tart Working in office is good, have fixed pay, fixed working hours and also, bigger hip/thigh/lower body! Imagine a bottom heavy person like me have even heavier bottom! Sigh All those slimming centre that promise result after 1 session have cheated my feeling so many time. First, they pour you a glass of water to drink so you will weight slightly heavier before you start the treatment. Then after the treatment, they will ask you to go pee or what and they weight you WAALA~ a slimmer you!

To me, Slim Couture must be some magical fairy wearing white! After completing 11 session with them, I am finally a few step nearer to my ideal weight of 50kg. I weight around 58~59kg when I just started. And now, I am at my lightest weight 51~52kg.

Am I happy with my result? Of course. I feel that I made a right choice going to them. Even though I stopped going to the session for about a month+ to prepare for my exam, my weight didn't bounce back. In fact, it even dropped! It could be because I am stressed or the fairy dust is still working its magic that I am not sure. Now, I stopped my treatment again for work commitment. My weight is still maintaining around the 51~52kg range. Going to Bangkok soon before I continue my last 5 session. Hope my weight won't shot up in this food paradise.

So how is the session like? Basically, they weight and measure you every session without fail. Photos will be taken at the start of your 1st session, so that you can look at those lumps on your body without lying to myself. Well, I always lie to myself when I am in the changing room in front of the full mirror. The dress is the one making me fat and ugly, not me of course! When I see the photos they took, I know my problem area. Lucky for us, Slim Couture offer full body slimming for beginners and maintenance session is the targeted area slimming. After all the weighting and measuring, that's the pain part. I have tried Guasha and Cupping at TCM before, but this is nothing like it. After doing so many sessions, the pain is still there. Expect yourself to flinch or scream. =S

What is my favourite part of the treatment? The measuring and weighting part! I am a number-conscious kind of person. Everyday I weight myself at least twice, I know this behaviour is unhealthy. Very unhealthy. Being called fat by others, make me very conscious about my weight. But I forget no one bother to ask about my weight, they judge me as soon as they lay their eyes on me. Also, the staffs/consultants/fairies are super friendly and always giving me extra tips to maintain my weight. When I fall sick, they even tell me which home remedy will cure it! Where to find such attentive people.  

What don't I like? To be very very very honest, the staffs/consultants when I just started the treatment. They treated this slimming treatment like a test. As a part-time student, I am really stressed out by the way they comment on my weight and diet. It really feel like those marked presentation exam. They start to grill you to find out what you eat and why I didn't lose more weight. But after 3rd session, they are super friendly and offer so many good advices to me. I think they just want us to lose more weight, so that we can benefit more from the treatment la. Hmmm, the cupping marking. It is really dark and ugly at the start of the treatment, super contrasting against my fair skin! I keep asking myself why must I suffer so much both physically and mentally! But now, I am more used to the marking and it is lighter that before. Now I really enjoy my slimming progress! The staff are now fairies and guasha/cupping are fairy dust to me!

Any other things to look out for? Please be prepared to spend a lot of money on those lotion. Also, their diet plan is very strict. I didn't follow 100% (about ~90%) and look at the weight I shed!

Will I continue the treatment? I will, but not now. Study and work are occupying too much of my time. Maybe during June or December again during my school break.

There is a saying,"No Pain, No Gain". But for this case, it is
"No Pain, No Lose weight!".

    1. Hello Samantha, I don't remember how much I spend in total. The last time I checked each session is $220 and for the lotion, they are between $250 to $350? I bought 3 different lotion throughout my 12 session. According to the labels on packaging, the lotion is supposed to enhance the repositioning? of tissue and regain an ideal shape :)

      You can see how much I lost kg and cm on this post:
