So as I was waiting for BodyCombat to start, there were 3 ladies talking to each other. One says "If you drink cinnamon and water all day long then you can lose 3 lbs a week JUST by doing that and not changing anything else. It taste like apple pie. You can use the same cinnamon stick all day. Just keep refilling your water bottle."

The same woman says "On Saturday, I'm getting a wrap. You know a body wrap to lose weight". This woman looked to be in her late 40's. She should know better.

I just chuckled. I've never heard these statements before. They obviously weren't MFP'ers.

What statements have you heard at the gym?

    I heard someone talking about those body wraps a few weeks ago in the locker room. I almost told her it was bs but I didn't want to get into it.

    Wait. o.0 ... Cinnamon and Water tastes just like apple pie?

    I would have thought Cinnamon and Water would taste something like Cinnamon and Water.

    Another girl had asked "How does the body wrap help you to lose weight" and the other woman replied "I don't know, but it just does."

    My friend, who should know better, told me last week that she maintains her weight during the week, eats "too much pizza with 2 glasses of wine a night" EVERY weekend, follows it up by "eating almost nothing, like a handful of nuts or something" on Mondays, and is losing 2lbs a week that way. Since I am at a plateau, she suggested I try some pizza and wine!
