    To anyone who uses the itWorks body wraps - I want to know your thoughts! I just ordered the package of body wraps, defining gel and confianza (stress reliever and energy). What do you think of it?!
    Stop looking for shortcuts.

    I sell it and I believe in all the products. They are not intended to replace diet or exercise for the products that are for weight loss. They're great additions. I use our protein powder, natural skin care as well as Thermofit for my pre-workout. I also love the defining gel for my cellulite and stretch mark cream. The wraps I do occasionally but I've lost enough weight to where that's not my biggest concern.
    How are they additions? What do they do?

    Multilevel marketing is not the same as a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme does not have a product being provided. Also, all the customers who offer their testimonials and pictures also believe it works. It's called It Works for a reason. All my customers have had great results and could testify to that. But if you don't believe it, fine, don't ruin it for someone else who wants to try it.

    I mean if that was my job I would be doing the same thing you do. Sell it. I would also hate life trying to sell it though.

    I think PT Barnum overestimated people.
    Sadly, I couldn't actually place a quote with PT Barnum. After a quick google, I found the one you're referring to, but I also saw this one, which I think is also applicable, and I feel like the analogy works in more way than one...

    It's called It Works for the reason that if they called it It Doesn't Work But I Want Your Money, sales would be hard to make.

    And when you're parsing language to try to distinguish your business model from a pyramid scheme, that should trigger some introspection.

    1. Try self-hypnosis...It has worked wonders for my stress level and it's FREE.
    2. I saw you posted that you sell the stuff, and we are not to advertise on these forums, so I consider it as SPAM.

    @aippolito1 When someone asks people's opinions on something like itworks (or Plexus, or Shakeology, or Herbalife, or Visalus - they're all the same), people with negative opinions are just as welcome to post as people with positive opinions. You keep saying "my customers," "our company," which leads me to believe that you have a vested interest in the product, and that severely lowers the credibility of your opinion.

    And I view all of the health and weight loss related MLM companies as on par with pyramid schemes because they all make bogus and misleading claims that misel people into purchasing the products, they are WAY overpriced, the marketing tactics are just sleazy, and the products just don't work in the way that they are advertised to. At least some other MLM companies, like Pampered Chef or Avon, provide quality products that actually live up to their claims and that can be useful for consumers. Itworks and similar companies do not provide anything useful and should not be supported.

    Do you get money from people's sales if you have introduced them to selling this garbage product?

    She admitted she sold it upthread.

    Tho personally I'd be ashamed to show my face in public again after such an admission.
