Waist slimming belt work?

XOchocolate

Just purchased a waist slimming belt at winners for 6.99. I was recommended by a friend and she claims that it is suppose to help reduce water weight. There are claims online that people lost inches around their bellies. I used it today on the treadmill and did have a lot of sweat around my belly. I am skeptical on the claims but I thought 6.99 I would give it a go.
So just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Please don't tell me I just wasted 6.99...I already realize that I probably did.
Thanks a bunch on any input;)

Solar suits and stuff like that I know some fighters will wear them to help drop weight before a weigh-in but I'm not sure how valuable those are on a regular basis. When it comes to exercise equipment and supplements, typically if it sounds too good to be true it's typically not true.

Water weight is weight you don't want to lose. Then you're just dehydrated.

You ask for our thoughts, but then tell us that our thought is something that you already know...so what's the question?

This is silliness - wear a parka when you work out and you will lose even more.

Sorry to tell you what you don't want to hear but you've just wasted 6.99.

Sure you sweat the water out, then you drink a glass of water and it all goes back in. Want to lose inches round your waist? Keep logging on to MFP, eat well to lose body fat and get toning your midriff with exercise.

6.99 is not such a big loss. better than spending it on a big mac

Im actualy going to go against the theme on this thread, if it is like a back brace type of belt that holds your stomach in it cuold help reduce over eating, by holding your stomach in you could feel fuller faster

mine works for me i use it every time i work out.

Yes - this is sold right next to the "hand gripper" thing. That's a good workout too

Richdogg38

It works. Have one that I haven't used in years. Might go put it on. :-)

I like mine, but then again I don't use it with the hopes of losing inches around my midsection. I actually use it for my back. I have a lot of lower back pain and I sit all day, most of the time slouched. The belt forces me to sick up more and the pressure feels good on my back. sometimes I even put an cold/hot pack right on back.

Hey your belt may help to support the abdominal and back muscles which could decrease injury and thus increase the time spent in the gym for weight loss.

I used one after I had my baby and it worked well.... I don't know about the other ones like you are talking about though... I was thinking about getting a smaller one actually.

SeaChele77

I'm going against the grain here and say it works. Yes, you will lose water weight and you don't want to dehydrate so you'll put most of it back in. However, the one thing I notice while using it is how tight I keep my abs. Therefore, I engage all my core muscles so it helps tone as well as shed some inches. These type of belts are great for quick loss (wrestlers, boxers, going to the beach and want to wear a bikini tomorrow :happy: , etc), but not good for weight loss in the long term, but I think to have some benefit. For $6.99 - it wasn't a waste.

So, do you want to burn off your belly and “feel the heat” during a workout? Well if lactic acid build up and a naturally increased blood flow to your muscles wasn’t enough, you can use FJ’s following belly burning method to get even more out of your workouts. It’s called wrap to lose water weight!

Wrap your body with my special body wrap tape, hit up the gym do your workout and then go into a sauna and do jumping jacks till you pass out. Upon waking up, get on a scale and marvel at how you lost 5lbs in just a few hours! And for a limited time, I will send you the special body wrap for just $5 + shipping. And after 30 days, you’ll only pay another $37. And after those 30 days you’ll be charged something called a “stupid tax”. Important: Please ignore any wordings and brandings on the special body tape packaging


I just saw this on another web page and I figured I would post it for some laughs for another similar way to lose water weight. :laugh:

Just the one thought but thought you all may have more;)

Yeah! Too funny! I expected some wonderful people giving me wonderful feedbacks!!
Much love to everybody;)....lol

U wasted $6.99. Try to re-purpose the belt or throw it away.

I am and I am losing...thanks!

Sarahmeridith

I use one, my husband convinced me to try it he always used one when working out. I do feel it helps a little, it may be water but it definatly isnt hurting (as long as you drink enough)

FoamyRiver

I have one and I can tell a difference when I go several weeks without using it. Yes, it pulls out excess water and I sweat more in that area but, like others who've commented, it's helps me engage my core muscles a bit more. It might all just be some craziness in my head but I think it does have some benefits and will continue to use it. And if spending $7 on something that encourages YOU to work out because YOU see/feel some benefits then that is money well spent!

By the way, I've also heard of people buying multiples and wrapping one around their waist and one around each thigh. Hey, whatever works for you!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS

by wrapping around your stomach it holds in your stomach and you will feel fuller than you would otherwise.

I wear one at home but not at work since it would look silly under my shirts.

XOchocolate

Thanks for all the great feedback! You guys are the best! Honestly...I am not worry about the 6.99.
That's why I said don't tell me I wasted it...lol. Just didn't want you to waste your time telling me that .

Serenitytoo

I have 2 different styles that I wear when working out. The primary reason I use it is to control the bouncing of my tummy. I find that I can't work out as long or as hard if I don't have one on, just too much uncontrolled movement :laugh: . On the slim chance I lose any extra in that area it is a bonus, but I am definately not holding my breath on that :laugh: .

It has been working for me!!! Reminds me to hold my stomach in when i work out which is tightening it back up ( after two kids..lol.) ive lost 3 inches off my waist in 3 months! Try it for yourself instead of just doing what everyone says It might work for you!!
And hey I bought the one for $5 at walmart and it works great for me!! And yes make sure u are drinking at least 6-8 cups of water a day there is a smart app u can get on ur phone its called a carbo droid reminds me to drink enough water every day


Wishing you the best!!
