I'm looking for a good weight loss booster and supplement. I have been told that Greens on the Go helps. Has anyone had any success with these products?

Supplements don't really do anything. If you want a good booster, exercise is going to be important, especially heavy weight lifting. The few people i know who are doing ITworks (and other MLM crap) are still over weight and can't figure out why.5 -
The only thing you need to do, in order to lose weight, is to be eating at the correct calorie deficit for your weight goals. No expensive fad gimmicks necessary

Also wanted to add, if you want to improve the chances of weight loss, get a good food scale and track daily. Typically, both of those are the biggest reasons why people fail on MFP.3

The only legitimate "booster" there is, is regular exercise. Certain supplements can help you hit certain nutritonal targets, but none of the provide for magical weight loss or "kick start" or "boosting", etc. Itworks products are just more snake oil on the market...I'm sure they do very well this time of year.1

Good advice psuLemon. However; many individuals on this site are no longer young and heavy weights may be contraindicated. I would augment this advice to say strength training (rather than heavy weights).
Supplements will not do the work for us, but don't rule out the virtue of vitamin and mineral supplementation. If not found in our diets, a multiple vitamin is highly advised.
"Weight loss" boosters are many times overstated in their effectiveness. Keep in mind that the goal of MLM (multi-level marketing) is to sell products! There are few, if any, supplements that cause weight loss. Several may induce anorexia, therefore, acting as an appetite suppressant. Scientifically, no supplement will "burn fat": you knew this, as you are a moderator.
In your role as a moderator, should you be saying things like "MLM crap"? You have been given an opportunity to lead and educate, don't use it to demean. I would investigate ITworks more in-depth than "the few people I know who are doing [it]".

As a moderator, I enforce the rules. I am not paid by MFP and therefor, I am also allowed to provide an unbiased opinion. MLM's generally provide inferior products, use dosages that are not inline with actual science and are not proven (at least publicly).
I would also argue, that anyone an lift heavy (outside of those with bone disorders), as heavy is relative. If moves are done with good form, it shouldn't matter if you are 20 or 60, it can be done. In fact, there are many 60 year olds on this forum that have done quite well. But the key is, focusing on correct form, starting like and progressing slowly. If you follow a structured program (like one of these) and do not allow ego to get in the way, then almost anyone can do it. Not only that, strength training has a plethora of benefits, especially as you age as it can help prevent osteoporosis, improve body composition and maintain metabolic functions.7 -
If ItWorks really worked, then the person I knew who peddled it would have actually been talking about her weight loss with it rather than pushing how great the products were and how badly she wanted to get to the next sales level.6

I take advocare line. Kinda pricey but really good products.0

No "coach," we haven't. But we do see this same question/sales pitch every January from a multitude of new users.
HTH, happy new year!5 -

I was approached by one ItWorks seller and she was overweight, while I was not. The whole conversation was quite ridiculous

I'm not a moderator.
Itworks, simply put, doesn't work at all. It truly *is* MLM crap and long-time members on this site (including the moderators) will warn newer people about this. Every. Single. Time. 6
