Freezing Fat?

Has anyone heard of this freezing fat which is non surgical. Let me know your thoughts, just heard about it a few days ago.

Looks like it's for people who are thinner but have some problem areas, specifically stating "This is not a weight loss treatment" on The American Society for Aesthetic Medicine.

I've also seen that on the news. I am sure it does as little as all the other body contouring treatments that have come out throughout the years.

I think the machinery for this was invented at UMass Medical. I saw news stories on it when it first came out. My understanding is that it can remove 1/4 pound of fat (think a stick of butter). Do I think it works? Yes. If you were at goal and had a small tummy bulge this might fix that problem. I really don't think it's mean to deal with larger amounts like regular lypo.

Thank you...looks like I'll just work on the old fashion exercise until I hit goal. I have a good 50 pounds to go.
