Got my Zaggora HotPants today, let the test begin!

I am a HotPants ambassador.  I've been waiting anxiously for my Zaggora HotPants to get here. What are HotPants? Well HotPants are type of pants/shorts that can be worn alone of under clothes daily or during work outs. They are have a specially designed Cellu-lite technology that helps to burn fat faster and decrease visible cellulite. They make you sweat up to 80% more during workouts or everyday activities. They are supposed to help you lose up to 2 jean sizes in 2 weeks by only doing 3 - 30 minute workouts a week while wearing the HotPants. The 30 minute workout in the HotPants are supposed to be equal to doing a 60 minute workout each time.


When I got home from work and saw my HotPants package sitting on my desk, I raced upstairs to try them on.  Through normal observation they look like a pair of black bicycle shorts.  The material is slightly thicker however and feel a little different.  To me it sort of feels like a foam sensation when I run my hands over it.  They zipper up the side and have a yellow HotPants logo on the left hip.  The pant are a high waist.  For me, the legs of the shorts end about 4 inches above my my knee cap when I stand. (I'm 5' 4" if that helps you).  I had my boys help me out and take a few pics for me.  I want to make sure I do this as detailed as possible for you. 


This first pic is me trying on the HotPants. 

Now let me tell you I ordered a small.  The small states it is for US sizes 6-10.  Depending on the clothing brand I fluctuate anywhere between a 6 or 10 so I figured this was perfect.  Though 6s are a rarity and are usually pretty snug if I can get in them.  Usually if I buy an 8 I'm pretty good.  I had to suck it in a bit to get in these and they are definitely snug.  I'm guessing they should be given the nature of what the HotPants are supposed to do.  They also helped tuck everything in so I don't think I'd mind so much wearing these out of the house.  They're actually rather flattering as far as a tight workout pants go.

The next thing I did was weigh myself.  I wanted to know what my starting point was to track progress.  I really don't know how comfortable i am putting my starting weight down.  I mostly want to trim down and tone in my abs (or lack there of), butt, and thighs.  Those are the areas that are keeping me from getting into my favorite pair of jeans right now.    My goal in all this is to lose just 1 jean size.  I have a pair of Blue Cult designer jeans that I scored a few years ago for like $30 (org retail for $100).  I think i can do it.

The next was to take measurements.  Oy, I'm gonna post them here.  I'm a bit uncomfortable doing this but I want to show real results (or no results but hopefully not) and I want to be able to prove it . I figured this was the only way to  show an honest starting point and ending point once the two weeks are up. So here it goes:

Ok first my pale belly lol.  I peeled down the HotPants to get a for real measurement since the hot pants are slimming. Also this is gonna be what's hanging out of my bikini I reviewed for Vivacious Swim. I think this pic and my bikini for our family vaca in August will be motivation.  Around the largest area of my belly I'm looking at about 34 " and 1/10.  Let me tell you, I did feel a littler warmer in the HotPants but I really didn't think I was sweating at all.  I'm not typically one that perspires a lot.  Even during workouts.  I had the pants on for about 45 minutes before i peeled them down.  I was definitely starting to sweat.  My skin on my belly was moist and the inside of the pants were slightly damp too.  I couldn't believe i was sweating.  All I did before that was sweep and mop the kitchen floor!

Ok then there's my bum.  The thing my jeans have to get up over.  Now I know I said the hot pants are trimming.  But I wasn't really sure the best way to take the measurement without maybe putting on the bikini bottoms.  If you can see, the measurement around the largest part of my bum in the HotPants is about 40".  

Last but not least I measured my right thing in the largest area.  The pants do a good job of hiding it but both my thighs on the outer sides have that kind of violin look to them.  The measurement on the tape measure for my right thing in the HotPants is 24 " exactly. 


Ok and two last pics.  I tried on the jeans i want to get into.  I was able to get them over my thighs and had to do a mini-workout to get them over my bum but I was not able to get them buttoned.  Even with them unbuttoned when I tried to go back upstairs to change back into my HotPants, it was difficult for me to step up onto the next step because of how tight they were.

I do have a little, what I like to call, kangaroo pouch left from having my 3rd son 2 years ago.  I wasn't able to make it go away like I did after the first two.  They are low rise jeans. I used to be able to pull them up over my bum completely and wear a belt with them.  I'd show you the back view to show you that they don't cover my bum but no body wants to see the top of my plumbers crack.  And then there's the front view.

I was looking for the size on these jeans.  Blue Cult jeans go by the waist line sizes.  I believe these were a 29 though. 

So I think this is a manageable goal. The bikini motivation is there too.
