Kim Deck: I just say no matter how much I workout, no matter how many squats. No matter how many crunches I do just it just sort of feels like my stomach and my thighs just don't ever really slim down in a way that I am happy with. I work and so I really don't have the time to take off a lot a time so it was also nice to know that I could attempt something that was noninvasive and holistic all at the same time. Dr. Robert Applebaum: So Kim we're going to do a couple of pretreatment and measurements just so we can follow your progress. Why don't we go ahead and measure under the bra line here. Okay, so 32, across here and right at the umbilicus we're going to measure and were 36 and a half. If The Body Fit Program is really a teared approach looking at exercise, nutrition, and also combining it with a Zerona Laser treatments that will alter fat cells usually areas that are very diet and exercise resistant which are the tummy, the thighs where people would have to really work hard and loose a lot of weight to get that, but what we're really focused on is slimming in these areas. So, here is the laser it's got four arms and a central laser that it actually emanating from the central part of the device here. What we'll do is we'll turn down the light of a second so that you can actually see the circulating beams and each area that's being covered, is being photostimulated by the laser. Kim are you comfortable? Okay, so she is not feeling any warmth or heat. Elissa Goodman: I'm really interested in finding out from you how much you are aware of nutrition? Kim Deck: I think I eat okay, but then I must be doing something wrong, because I still don't really get the results. Elissa Goodman: When you describe something on the run like you were saying is that usually something like something with sugar, something packaged? Kim Deck: Well, no it's not package, but sometimes I get busy I'm working mom and I get on the run and so it sometimes just grab what I can grab and that could be obviously sometimes of the greatest thing. What's the hardest part of that is doing what we'll all know to do which is we have to work on our nutrition and exercise more and doing that in concert together to really kind of, achieve the results that we want to achieve. Linda Grasso: Okay, so here we are a month later, but more importantly seven treatments later. Talk to me about what's happened here? You look fantastic. How many inches have you lost? Kim Deck: So I have lost 8 inches which is really exciting. My pants are loose and it just feels great. Linda Grasso: Where would you say that you lost the majority of the weight? Kim Deck: Also in the back here on the back so these I had some flaps kind of rolls on the back and slightly flaps. And those are they've diminished a lot. Linda Grasso: So in the back, let's spin around just so we can see, so this area and it does it looks fantastic. I mean, I don't remember it being a huge flap it looks very trim. Kim Deck: Good. And then I lost some inches in my thighs and then around the midsection here. Linda Grasso: How your cloths, are they feeling what you want to - Kim Deck: My cloths are really big.
