    I've tried them twice. I didn't see much shrinkage, but it REALLY helped my stretchmarks. Totally worth it in that regard. I'm definitely trying them again, if only for that one reason (they're almost gone!).
    Plus, I failed to drink the right amount of water both times.
    I've heard this from a few friends as well, turned then from bright red to the faded look over night instead of it taking months...

    I've tried a few products for stretchmarks, and nothing seems to work better than these wraps! I mean I moisturize too and that obviously is helping, but the wraps are an awesome jump start.

    They encourage you to drink water while you're wrapping, it's not water loss. They promote lipolysis, which is basically a detox of your fat cells, the skin tightening properties of this product are awesome!
    You've been scammed.

    I gave it a go, just for the "what the heck, let's experiment" factor, and made some notes about it in my MFP blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/hdsqrl

    I never followed up on my last post, though...I should do them again (maybe will sleep in one tonight) and see if I notice a difference. Granted, I've been on the MFP train for close to a year now, hit the gym regularly, and eat pretty cleanly, so if these things really are ONLY water loss, that would explain why I didn't see any difference after the first try.

    If you have the cash to spend and don't mind if they don't actually work for you, it's a fun experiment. Just don't count on it for long term (or possibly ANY) results. :flowerforyou:

    Hoax. Sweating in saran wrap is not a new thing. If it worked, there'd not be a fat person left in America.

    Also, drinking water does not mean you don't lose water weight. It's not an instant "I take in 8 oz, so another 8 oz is going to flow right back out."

    Unfortunately the kink scene in my area can attest to the fact that saran wrap is a terrible fat loss tool.

    But losing water weight temporarily can be kind of motivating. It shows what you could look like in a month or so of working hard.

    As someone who is using the product as I type, I can say yes they do work but..............with everything in fitness and weight loss their is no easy fix. EVER!

    As I see inches come off at a rapid pace, I still eat right, exercise and drink TONS of water. You can refer to me as PEE wee Herman as I can't stop going to the bathroom!!

    If anything it is great motivation to continue on the path of healthy living. It's a great detox and yes my stretch marks are starting to become less visable.

    I would endorse this product for sure. I would tell everyone who is struggling to lose weight that you should try it, but continue living healthy and keep doing what your doing!

    The personal trainer who does my boot camp class, don't get him started on how awful these things are. I can't remember all the things he went into but it was quite a rant! Lots of technical scientific stuff about how they don't work. And I have some at home, tried them, they really don't do anything but make you cold while you wear them for the 45 minutes your supposed to!! Plus a waste of almost $100 dollars for the wraps and some pills that are supposed to get rid of fat if you take them when you eat. My guess is those are bogus too. Like other's said if it was this easy everybody would do it and be skinny for it! :-)

    I know this is an old thread but I do have quite a bit to say on this topic. I was skeptical of this company for a long time. I watched friends who were in the business for OVER a year. I decided to give it a go and try them out. Do some research , in depth research before you knock it. The company promotes healthy eating and exercise AS WELL as the body wrap, not an alternative to a healthy lifestyle. EVERY product they carry is made from organic natural ingredients. The body wrap specifically you are supposed to wear for 45 minutes, not sweat in it, and drink at least half your body weight in oz of water a day. Yes the results are temporary as in you do 1 wrap it lasts 2-6 months. 1 full treatment is 4 wraps not 1. Check this out. If you stopped eating well and exercising and turned into a couch potato would you not gain your weight back ? Guess what sounds like a healthy lifestyle is temporary too. Also the wraps when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle is pretty permanent. Do me a favor, google rusty lackey, or Amanda Arlauskas from season 8's biggest loser she used them to tighten her skin while working out and eating healthy. The wraps are not for WEIGHT LOSS, it is for detoxing the fat cells, tightening skin, and minimizing scars, cellulite, and stretch marks. For the record the wraps aren't the only products sold. There's greens that are a probiotic that also give you 8 + fruits and veggies servings a day, there ProFIT the protein shake that has only 100 calories and 14 grams of protein thats all natural not chemically laden. Theres the carb inhibitors that work in your stomach not your bowels that helps to pull 38% of fat and 70% of carbs out of a fattening meal. Think fat loss not weight loss. We all want to achieve a lower body fat percentage. Theres skincare like facials, lip and eye creams. Most of you who have tried 1 wrap used it for the wrong reason , not to get healthier but for a quick fix.

    Yeah, totally.

    And, can we get off the "detoxing the fat cells" schtick already? What a load of BS.

    Uh no. Wrapping the body wouldn't do this. The complex hormonal response to it is much more than just a topical solution and wrapping something around the skin. There is no such thing as "detoxing" fat cells. Misinformation like this is why people are spending their hard earned dollars on products that DON'T hold up to clinical study.

    I've used a saranwrap/lotion/heating blanket combo for a quick fix, say I want to go to the beach or an event. It'll lop off a couple inches at the very most and it's definitely not permanent. Look up making your own at home, they're just as effective as the expensive crap.

    I actually can say they are a quick fix (kinda motivational haha its like HEY nice!) The person i know that sells them uses them with their other products, that i WILL rave about. When using their greens drink I cut out soda completely, I didn't get sick in a 6 month period. MY immune system was as strong as it had been in a very long time. The shakes are also good.

    One effect I still am thankful for from the wraps is i had PURPLE stretch marks. they were horrifying. after the first wrap they faded significantly. So though for weight loss I don't contribute much to them they did help me. I wish I had my before and afters to show ya.
