Body Wraps please stop the insanity

The wraps DID help with my skin after having my baby few years ago. They helped everything to go back how its suppose to look SKIN WISE. The weight I lost was from kicking my butt in the gym and dieting. I am a fan of some of the wraps(not all some are scams) but not for weight loss purposes, for helping to rehydrate my skin and I do believe it helped.

There's a member of a women's group I belong to that sells them, when we have our meetings, she'll pass out her cards, but if you were to look at her, she is not thin or firm or fit for that matter, she either does not use them or (more likely) they do not work. Suffice it to say, I have never purchased any.

Too many people really want to believe there's a quick fix...

I've been offered these too, no thanks. I am smarter than that. Also, with all this advocare stuff all over my small town. I don't want to use any drinks, powders or potions. I want to do it the right way. What happens when you stop taking it??? You'll gain it back and probably more. I'll save my money for a new wardrobe while they drink their sparks in their saran wrap.

I've done one, it was awesome, it is kind of like doing a wrap at the spa but a lot more work. And I do feel like it helped drain stuff from my lymph system, as one of the only exercises that does that is the rebounder. Yes I lost lbs and inches, and yes I feel like my skin was firmer and I over all felt better on the inside too after the treatment. The wrap also included a half hour in an infared sauna, this has a lot of health benefits as well.

So if you have the money to do a body wrap, I would say try it before saying a bunch of bad stuff about it. It is a spa treatment the same as any other but just requires more work from you then just lying there.

I think this is different than all of the "do it at home" gimmicks! I had a mud wrap at the spa, it was amazing for my skin, didn't lose any weight, but like you said, it's a spa treatment!

UGH! The wraps do the same thing as if you were to put preparation H on your stomach. It temporarily (key word there) shrinks the skin down, and in a couple of days it springs right back!

Diet and exercise people!!

exactly what i was goin to say.. huge investment to keep doing i dont know... forever!

I did it once. My inches reduced for 4 or so days. But then went back to what it was. This is a gimmick and really it's stupid.

I have a friend who has done it for about a year or so I guess, she went to the conference for these wraps and posted pictures...they're all over weight. LOL. YES! IT TOTALLY WORKS. hehehe.

I'll stick to kicking my *kitten* in the gym and in the kitchen.

I actually sell body wraps and I have noticed a big difference. It depends on the type of body wrap that you get. I agree some are just gimmicks and just make you loose water weight and only works temporarily. I sell the it works wraps. We actually don't claim that you should use it to lose weight. I have lost a good amount of weight but I contribute most of that to diet and exercise. However, the wraps are a good way to help. It does going into your system and breaks down the fat cells. However, its big benefit is to firm, tighten, and tone your skin. After a wrap people will lose inches. Not everyone, but most. I often have lost inches when I do them. It is not water weight! You are required to drink at least a full bottle of water while wearing the wrap and continue drinking for another 3 days. My parents have had it done on their chin to reduce the sagginess and they noticed a big difference. Not all body wraps work and I don't claim that my wrap works on everyone. However, my wrap does work on many people who have seen a difference. Check out http://bodyapplicators.com/body-wraps/how-it-works-body-wrap-works/ to see how they work.

so are you saying this is not temporary??
if its not water weight are you saying you are losing fat or muscle?? or what are you losing?

Also if this were not a gimmick like every other one.. you would not have to keep reapplying.. whatever would be lost would be gone and not coming back..

And yes all of these gimmick sales ppl use the same phrase its " not everyone but most"

While I am glad that you understand that it isn't for weight loss, it doesn't "go in and break down fat cells" either. I think the It Works wraps do soften and tighten your skin. So would Preparation H, because it's the same thing. I also have no reason to distrust their supplements, but I feel that people who sell the product should try to know what they are talking about if they don't want it to look like a gimmick.

I have several friends who are selling these but they don't market it as a miracle and say they work best with diet and exercise - it's more of a boost than a solution. It might be something I'd try if I wanted to fit into something nice for an event but they are too expensive for me to want to use any other time.
