I'm considering doing them once a month or something while i loose weight hoping to keep from being so flabby. Anyone done these? What is your experience?

They are very popular right now!!!

I was thinking about but they are pricey that's what's kept me from trying one. My co workers do them for weight loss. I figure ... I'm losing lol

Where do u get them?

never heard of it but would like more info!

I found them through my massage therapist. Go to the website www.itworks.com- you can find a rep and become a loyal customer to make things cheaper!

Amazon has them for a reasonable price, I tried it once and it definitely toned things up a bit!!

Temporary. Waste of money.

You can actually get the same results with bengay and plastic wrap. This technique is old school.. my mom use to pay top dollars to have her entire body wrapped.

Body wraps have been around for years and rise and fall in popularity. They are a temporary solution to the problem and you spend a lot of money on them.

The typical types of wraps are:

• Moisturizing, which uses a variety of lotions and ingredients
  
• Detox, which includes ingredients such as seaweed or mud that have more ''pulling'' action
  
• Slimming that use smaller strips of material wrapped tightly
  
• Cellulite, which typically uses herbal remedies
  

About all the wraps can really do is moisturize your skin. Any claims for detox, slimming or getting rid of cellulite are not supported by the medical community and are temporary solutions. While immediately after removing the wraps you will see some improvement, it only lasts for a few days. You sweat a lot during a wrap and lose Water weight, which gives people the false hope that it is helping them lose weight. In my opinion, I'm not stepping up to lose water weight when I already have a problem getting all my water in for the day. Also, the wraps can't magically suck the fat out of your body. The wraps squeeze water from the area getting wrapped up, which comes back later. And detox comes from your liver and kidneys, which the wraps do not have any affect on.

I'm not trying to sway anyone, one way or another, but I will give my opinion on them. It's a fad that people have been trying for longer than I've been alive. Another silver bullet people are looking for to lose weight and look better. I had weight loss surgery for a reason and it's a marathon, not a sprint. I'm not here for the temporary solution to my problem.
