Has anyone used this? Results? ........ I went to a party tonight and I will say the photos were amazing. I wore the wrap around my stomach for close to an hour and lost 3/4 inch. They say you will lose up to 3 inches total in 72 hours (after removing the wrap) I bought some stuff so I can try more ........... and going to re-measure myself in 3 days to see the total inches lost. Anyone else tried this? It's so intriguing!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Apparently you wear the wrap minimum 45 minutes, max 6 hours (over night) ....... then after you take it off, you still continue to lose inches for 72 hrs. It's not a "weight loss" thing, they say it's really just like tightening your skin and shrinking the fat cells, which makes you lose the inches. I don't know.......... I just tried it for the first time tonight, lol - and yes I'm eating well and exercising but a little boost is always nice. I read reviews online just now, it's such a mix, like literally 50/50 people either love it and say it's awesome or say it sucks and didn't work. I guess I will find out for myself :-) Oh, also they said the results will last anywhere from 1-3 months, then you re-do it ....... so it is an ongoing maintenance thing.

My cousin's wife has been one of their representatives for several months, both using the product and hosting many parties. I can't say that I've noticed her body benefiting from it in any lasting way. Her bank account, however, is doing quite well since she's selling a ton of it.

If it worked, no one would be fat. Lose weight fast gimmicks don't work. In the long run, you gain everything back and then some. Science has beyond proved that, but it won't stop companies from preying on people who are desperate to lose weight.

3 DAYS is not a good measuring stick. Try 3 weeks, or 3 months. I bet anything in 3 weeks, you will still be wanting to lose the weight...and the inches will be there. Not to be a debbie downer, but to keep weight off you have to change your lifestyle. Not wrap it away.

I think I've read that the inches lost is due to water loss, i.e. sweat.

WebMD has an article about wraps that says there is change but it's temporary due to water loss. http://www.webmd.com/beauty/spa/body-wraps-what-to-expect

There is also a clip on You Tube that tells you how to make your own body wrap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-4uDsbCp0s

You wear the wrap for 72 hours or you mean in 3 days after you remove the wrap you'll check to see if the 3/4" is still gone?

It is a gimmick and I am sorry you fell for it. Another one of the MLM schemes going on in the marketplace preying on vulnerable people.

You might lose a little water weight but if these were a magic potion for people to lose weight, you woldn't see all the overweight people out there trying to lose weight.

If you want to lost weight/inches..... eat healthy, drink a lot of water and exercise. Be consistant with your good health habits.

The people who insist it works...are selling them. Just saying (yes, I totally just said "just saying").

One of my good friends has tried it and purchased more. She says it works TEMPORARILY. Don't expect permanent results. It's like putting Preparation H on the bags under your eyes. It tightens the skin.

You can do this for free by wrapping yourself in some saran wrap and exercising or going to a sauna.

Does it work? Sure, if you sweat off a bunch of water around your waist, it will temporarily shrink you. Then you will be thirsty and drink water and gain it back.

There's nothing wrong with it -- I lose that much water almost every day, when I exercise, wearing multiple shirts and sweating profusely. But then I need to drink a lot of water and replenish electrolytes.

Gimmick.

The wrap did not work for me but my body type is just not right for it. I did order the greens the stress formula, the face lotion and toner. It's all fine. Nothing more spectacular than other similar products. Not bad though.

Yup, they totally work :-) I use them & I'm a distributor. Awesome that you saw results in 45 min.!!
As another poster pointed out - you can't wrap your way skinny. they can be part of a healthy lifestyle.They do tighten, tone, & firm in as little as 45 min. Results vary from person to person, i.e. my husband sees results quickly & I take a bit longer. The company offers a ton of other products too; everything from facial cleansers to vitamins & supplements. My absolute favorite product we offer is the Greens - were you able to sample those at the party? If not, try to get some...they are our second most popular product & awesome!
I'm happy to answer any questions or give more info if anyone is interested. PM me :-) mucho blessings
