    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've seen more than one post from people who have blogged their success from hard work and dedication and have then been approached and offered good money by ItWorks to sell their 'before and after' photos and to say that they owe their success to ItWorks...

    Unfortunately, I'm friends with (we're growing apart) someone who falls into so many MLMs (5Linx, and now this ItWorks mess) and she has a before and after photo. I've known her for over 10 years. The before photo is from college when she gained the freshman 15. She doesn't work (she's a lawyer "with her own business"), works out a lot and she's a vegan yet she's displaying her college photo and her current photo side by side as if she really used this stuff to lose weight. I cringe everytime I see some idiot in her comments telling her that they want to use the products. I hate it...it's so unethical and awful..

    It Works doesn't work? How sad and surprising.
    This is more disappointing than The Neverending Story.

    At least the neverending story finally ends.

    The only people who say it works are people who sell it.

    Yep. That is the only time I have ever seen people claim "it works". Bunch of BS if you ask me....hate the "get skinny" schemes or any crap like that.

    But it includes one of the saddest scenes EVER in ANY movie.

    The horse dies because it is too sad. It has the sads. So it dies. How are we all not scarred for life because of that movie?

    Dang it, I've never seen the movie! Just assumed that since it was a MOVIE that it probably had to end at some point. Poor little horsie . . .

    No - the wraps do not work. I tried one 2 years ago and it did nothing. The consultant offered to do another one for me, for free, and that wasn't even enticing enough for me to waste my time on it again. You know what did work? Changing my diet and getting off my @ss. Go figure! ;)

    I'm attempting the product to see what it can do for the body on top of what I do for myself and I simply wanted to know peoples thoughts. quote]

    And that my friend is what you got.

    Oh Oh I was waiting to see this post again. So I had some extra cash lying around and decided to give this a try. WHat could it hurt? If it didn't work I was out a few dollars. I could afford it. One treatment is 4 wraps, 72 hours apart, so about 2 weeks. I took pictures of each wrap and myself from every angle possible before and after each one. I drank my weight in oz of water, no alcohol and no "dirty" food. I followed a strict "clean" eating diet for these weeks. Guess what!!! I lost nothing. After 4 wraps, my midsection was still the same size.

    I'm good. What I have notice is that he hasn't post since that thread. Actually I notice a few regulars who haven't post in a while. Sounds like they on vacation.
