    No total waste. I did them and fell in love with the relaxation part of it but did not see any change in my weight. Don't waste your money better off going to a sauna.

    Wraps and other spa treatments like that are typically only a temporary fix to losing inches. It's all water weight from sweat. It comes back in the end. I wouldn't waste your money!

    ^^I'm inclined to agree with this. I'd rather use the money and go get something indulgent like a massage or mani/pedi. It's good for the soul to pamper yourself once in awhile:flowerforyou:

    If you're not happy with your appearance I would try cutting back on cardio and hitting the weights and strength training hard!

    Here is an amazon link to the product:

    Grawrrr: Thank you for your input :)

    I tried one. It didn't make me lose weight but I will admit my skin was firmer, and it wasn't like that when I used an ab belt that is supposed to make you sweat the excess water out. It still looks good after the one treatment. It was worth it in my opinion, but if you want to reduce body fat lift heavy. I don't mean going crazy and bulk up like a pro competitor, unless that's what you want. But more than 5 pounds. Something that actually works, not tones. I swear I lost so much body fat by increasing my weights & lunging with a 10 pound weight. It kicks your butt & it works :flowerforyou:

    I've been looking into It Wraps by Jillian and debating on whether or not to get it. Does anyone know if it works or doesn't work? What is your opinion on it?
    The number on the scale is going down but I'm still fat, regardless of all of the jogging, elliptical, ab workout, push ups, walking, etc. Plus keeping up with water, protein, fiber, sodium, fat, carb, and calorie intake daily for nearly 3 months...I shouldn't still look this way, it's ridiculously depressing.

    No .. waste of money ..

    I suggest starting to do heavy lifting. Doesn't mean you're working to be a powerhouse bodybuilder .. but you need to burn that fat that's over that nice lean muscle. Muscle will increase your metabolism, burn off that fat .. and you'll lose inches.

    What you should do is take measurements. I don't know how far or how much you need to lose .. but measure things like your arms, thighs, waist (narrowest area) / waist (belly button), hips .. You may be losing weight and inches .. so be patient and give it time :-) :flowerforyou:

    You will start seeing results.. don't expect overnight miracles :drinker:

    Cutting out salt would probably make you drop water weight just the same, and is free,and healthier.

    From the Amazon link:
    Directions: Apply one Applicator to one area of your choice (such as the abdomen, back, sides, legs, arms, or buttocks) and leave on for 45 minutes. Remove and discard. Repeat after 72 hours

    The price ($21!) is for one single wrap, that you apply for 45 minutes and discard. Then you buy another one that you use again in 3 days. Sounds like quite the racket!

    Hi xxMyWeighxx
    Definitely agree with upping the weight training suggested by others, however, I think you should really focus on your diet. I was doing weights and bootcamp 6 days a week and didn't lose a kilo until I radically changed my diet. Eating proteins with veg or salad every 3 hours or so saw me drop to a size 8 straight away.

    You can also try accessing a sauna/ cutting out all processed foods etc to detox as your body won't let you burn fat if to do so would release toxins stored in the fat into your body.
