maybe she was trying to beat a drug test
Or a hangover0 -
garbage bag? rookie! I get one of those inflated sumo wrestler hallowen outfits, works more better.
Kidding aside, a friend's wife does this often. They have their stationary bike out in the garage, which isn't air conditioned (so it's always 100+ degrees in there this time of year), and she'll go out there and do an hour on the bike in a plastic sauna suit. Whatever.0 -
Wrestlers use it for cutting water weight, that or vinyl suits. Why someone who doesn't do competitive sports with weight classes would do it, I couldn't tell you.
Maybe she does. Maybe she's a boxer or wrestler? They weigh us in for pro cheerleading each week...
Or a fitness competitor?? I'm sure she had reasons even if they seem silly0 -
It doesn't work! I have done it plenty of times for weigh-ins but the water weight will always come back. DOn't do it it's a false reading on the scale. I don't do it any more and i'm trying to do it right this time.0

Yup in high school, my fiance and all his wrestling team would don the garbage bags under their sweatshirst and run to make weight. It's only temporary.0

Only if you drink water again. If you can do this and never drink any more water the weight will stay off forever.0 -

different strokes for different folks!!! There is a lady at my gym also that wears a trash bag thingy (homemade thing). Sweat away baby! Whatever floats your boat!!!0

Today at the gym I saw a woman working out. She used the weights first. Then she goes over to the shelves where people keep stuff (cubbie boxes instead of lockers) and pulls out a black garbage bag. It has arm holes and a head hole. She puts it on over her t shirt, puts on a long sleeve sweat shirt, and puts on a knitted winter hat. (It's summer here btw) Then she jumps on the treadmill. That can't be a good idea. Thoughts?
She may be trying to shed some water weight. Maybe she's a fighter, or a body builder/fitness model. Maybe she had too many cocktails over the weekend. Cutting water weight is a science, and isn't dangerous when done properly.0 -
Standard operating procedures if you need to make weight for wrestling, boxing or MMA. Other than that, you are one drink of water away from putting all "the weight" back on.0

Well a regular bag would be stupid but if it was a blue recycling bag that would be kewl.0
-
or a red hazmat bag0

I've seen people do this. Usually overweight middle aged-elderly people at the gym. I feel bad for them, but I think they'll get offended if I tell them they're doing it wrong.0

Putting the bag over your head is probably more effective.0

Preach!
When i first started working out, my mom suggested this and of course I went along with it like an idiot. It seemingly worked for a neighbor who was struggling with her weight some many years down the line, buuuuuuuut no. It gives false hope. XD0 -
To Each His Own....or in this case Her Own...lol0

Some of these comments seriously had me in giggle fits. Made my night.
But I've heard a story of a girl in my area that wraps her tummy when she walks. Kinda like those rip off wrap parties that you pay $40 to attend and lose water weight. They were all over my Facebook. But once I posted the truth with a couple links their popularity dropped drastically.0 -

I knew wrestlers in high school who did this. But it does not help with the long term.. perhaps she thought she looks better in black plastic.0 -
She sounds trashy.
How could you litter do that?0
