My dad who is trying to lose weight as well bought one of these "slimming" belts about a month or more ago and never has used it. So, today I gave the thing a try and used it only to exercise in. I do power walking on my wii fit board lol (for 30 minutes) does anyone have anything good/bad to say about these belts? If its unsafe or beneficial at all... Thanks in advance for any replies...

    There is no such thing a spot reduction. The only thing it might make you sweat a little more.

    sweating doesn't mean anything other than you are sweating
