Hello All!
So, my cousin just recently became a distributor for the "it works" products, and has convinced me to get wrapped tomorrow night. I'm really excited about it, and have heard great results from others who have tried it. However, I was wondering if anyone on FS had tried them, and, if so, what were your results? Did you need to get wrapped more than once to really see results if you're bigger? Also, if you've tried it and got results, how long did the results last?
Just trying to figure what I should expect tomorrow. Thanks everyone, so glad I have ya'll for support!

^ Not exactly about the It Works wraps, but addresses the concept. The only way fat is going away is by burning calories or some form of actual fat removal, period. Whatever you do, don't pay your hard earned money for this woo.

I am an It Works distributor. When I signed on last year and started using the products (LOVE the supplements!!)and following their food plan, I lost 42 lbs in 3 months and felt better than ever. (long story but major family issues and fell off working/taking care of myself, etc.) I started back yesterday. The wraps are not like anything else on the market. The herbals on it actually help detox you. It helped me *immediately* get off caffeine and not crave junk food. For it to work well, you have to drink plenty of water. The water will flush the toxins out. The detox will work regardless of inches lost. Inches lost depends on alot of various factors - if you smoke, tanning beds, moisturizing soap can clog cells, periods, etc. Hopefully your cousin will know to explain all of this and help you maximize your results. Since you are obviously already on a healthy path of life, your results will be permanent. Even if you are "bad", it will take 3-6 months to get it back. It took 6 months before I started gaining any back. You will notice a difference in the way you feel regardless of inches lost. And inches lost can happen up to 72 hrs later. If you are toxic, it is common to actually bloat a little at first. Results vary but my record so far is a lady that lost 12 inches in 45 minutes. The tape measure did not fit around her waist and when I measured her later it actually overlapped. We both cried. I love the products and can give lots of testimonials on health issues my customers have reversed but don't want to turn this into a commercial
If you have more questions that your cousin might not know being new, feel free to send me a private message.

As we all know, the way we lose FAT (not getting detoxed, getting dehydrated etc.) is by having a general calorie deficit.
Please explain to me how this burns calories for you?
I'm always very leary about ANY weight loss product that states that it works optimally if you combine it with lots of water, a healthy diet and exercise.
Well, duh. If you drink your water, eat healthy and do regular exercise, then you really don't need the miracle product, do you?

...and losing 12 inches in 45 minutes? Hmmm... I'm pretty sure it's not a fat loss.

My diet
Adding to what thinner said.... the grilled chicken is a blessing. I've taken to marinating boneless breasts overnight then give them a quick cook in a skillet or griddle. I too worked in a school ...

Craving
Well good luck with those challenges. There must be a good reason you feel you can't have just one of the carb, lower calorie beers. I admire your discipline and determination.

weigh in
Good luck! I weigh in every day which has to stop. It is too easy to get caught up in the excitement of seeing the scale drop so much in a week-that is because of water weight I am sure.
