Comparing your "lazy quick fix" body wrap to eating right and excercising is absurd.Sorry, let me re-phrase. The wrap I tried improves skin texture (tightening and toning) and reduces the appearance of cellulite with it's deeply hydrating formula. Its like 13 x 21" and it's considered a cosmetic product so it doesn't claim to make you loose weight. Actually they're really not that pricey at all at around $15 each. Results last 2 - 6 months.
Even loosing weight and gaining muscle can be considered "temporary" if you're not keeping up with a healthy lifestyle.
I lol'd.

I just LOL'd.
My SIL has given me a few for free, I don't even know why. The first time I was a normal weight and it didn't do anything. The second and third I was obese by BMI terms and it still didn't do anything.0 -

Oh wow, I would never actually suggest to anyone that using a body wrap would be better than or substitute living a healthy lifestyle, and from what I've read up on the It Works company, that's not what they intend it for either. I apologize if my previous comment was unclear. What I was trying to say was that a lot of things in life are temporary if not maintained. I have lost 30lbs twice after both my pregnancies by good old fashion exercise and calorie counting and felt great! But sometimes you still end up with a little loose skin in areas and no matter how much ab work you do you just cant seem to get rid of it. That's where I would implement the wraps. If some loose skin doesn't bug you that's great, but I know a lot of people who would be willing to go under the knife to get rid of it. So if your considering spending thousands to tighten up, I don't see any harm in trying a wrap that claims to do the same thing.0 -
It's not considered a "lifestyle" if you don't keep it up. That would be called a fad or quick fix..................kinda like the wraps.Sorry, let me re-phrase.

Loose skin is TISSUE. A wrap doesn't cause it to disappear nor to reduce the amount. Any licensed dermatologist will tell you the same.

All I know is that it's worked for me and a ton of others, and that the ingredients are botanically based, extremely hydrating and nourishing to the skin and help to improve the skin rejuvenation process.

Don't some people put preparation H around their eyes for a quick eye lift fix

Wish i could figure out how to post my before/after pics on here
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1041112/need-help-adding-pictures-look-here-tutorial-with-pics/p1
Try this. I'd be very interested in seeing your before & after pics. I've considered using wraps a couple of times before if I've got an event coming up that I want to look my best for, would be interested in seeing how much difference they made for you and knowing how long the results lasted. 2-6 months is WAY longer than I expected, I only need the results to stay for a day or two, but I've also heard people say you go back to how you were before as soon as you drink something.0 -
Before i signhed up here i did a wrap i lost 15 pounds ( as in currency) that is all!!!0

Here is my results after 72 hours of an It Works Body wrap. No I do not use it as a replacement to proper eating and working out. I added them into my life to reward myself with little victories throughout my weightloss journey. I've lost over 30 lbs thus far and have quite a bit more to go, but these wraps really help to tone the skin that isn't tight and toned. I have not see the results leave as I continue to live a healthy lifestyle.
