"It Works!" NOT!! Rip Off! Don't Buy It! - Georgia

Not Worth It
Cost: $300
It Works! (Georgia)

I bought the "loyal customer" 3 month...

28 Mar 2012

I bought the "loyal customer" 3 month package and used it exactly as it instructs. I even left the wraps on an additional hour each time to maximize the results. I wrapped the same area 3 times in 3 weeks and... NOTHING!! I really wanted to see some positive results, but was very disappointed. I was also told I would "feel great" after the treatment. That didn't hold true either-- no difference.

Great review?

i am trying one this weekend just to see

I lost almost 4 inches in 2 weeks, but I also eat berries, cheese, yogurt, lean meats (baked) and nothing high in carbs or sodium! I drink water all day about 8 bottles of water. I also exercise 4 times a week so I am curious if I maximized my results.

Congrats - please make sure you are taking before and after photos - pictures are worth more than you can ever imagine. It's interesting how some can use the product and not get any results at all but I guess everything is not for everyone.

Derek C 29 Apr 2013

Well 4 inches in 2 weeks sounds excellent - I would continue to do what you are doing. Take the Defining Gel in between Wraps and look at some other things you can do naturally to increase your metabolism.

That is great you really can see some great results. I have lost 10 inches with 2 wraps. I was so amazed.

Hello Raynie, From time to time I always here someone start a program to lose weight and get less than desirable results but the common theme seems to be lack of details. ItWorks is a cheap product but very few good products are. Can you please explain all what you have done to lose weight? # 1 - Have you stopped eating fried foods, items that are high in sugar, salt, etc. # 2 - Have you cleansed your body? Using something like The Regular # 3 - Are you drinking water daily - 1/2 your body weight in ounces (if you weigh 200 lbs. you should be drinking 100 ounces of water throughout the day # 4 - Have you started a workout routine? Treadmill, walking, yoga, etc... # 5 - Have you start eating only fresh items - shop around the outer edges of the supermarket for fresh fruit, fish, chicken, turkey, low fat yogurt, etc... You should be able to wrap your body every three days and in between those days you can use the jell but before all of that have you flushed your body. It's not abnormal for one's stomach to actually expand the first time especially if you have toxins that may bloat your stomach... Nothing is magical - I think we all have to develop new habits and lifestyles when we are ready to improve our health. ItWorks is a supplement to assist you with your lifestyle change - it's not a magical pill or powder that allows you to puff your body fat away. Arnold famous statement that's so true: No Pain - No Gain - it can be painful going through a lifestyle change and it normally takes approximately six (6) weeks to develop new habits.

This is such a scam, an old scam as well. It is not medically or scientifically possible to shrink your fat cells or bind to fat cells. Ask a doctor. Sorry to break the news, but these people are making a mint off all of you.

you have to drink at least 10 glasses of water a day for it to work. i have watched one wrap work for more then one person but they drank the necessary amount of water

Your results wont be as good when you leave them on longer then your supposed to. I am actually a Itworks Distributor and have had wonderful luck with all of my clients. Your first wrap your only supposed to leave it on for 45 minutes after that no longer then 8 hours... Your maximum results would be to only leave them on for 3-4 hours.

Christy_mitchell2006 11 Oct 2012

Full treatment is 4 wraps! I would ask about your diet. Do you drink diet soda? No artificial sweeteners! It's all about being consistant. I know it works and you should really think about trying again with drinking nothing but water and using product to help clean waste out.

Congrats on your weight loss and your diet changes - that is quite an accomplishment!! If you do decide to try the wraps please come back and share your experience. We would love to know if it worked for you or not.

nobo1211 2 Mar 2013

Megan It is obvious that representatives of Itworks wraps are posting all over this forum praising their product. On almost every negative review some "knowledgeable "reviewer" gives an excuse or recommendation. I have been using this website for the most accurate real people stories and have never come across such a marketing bliss. I am truly disappointed this is being allowed because it is ruining the validity of this site. Those comments that are marketing related should just be deleted. Thanks for listening.

Well I just bought my first wrap last week and tried my second today. It's AWESOME

Im on anti anxiety medications Zoloft and Buspar. Is it still ok to do the wraps and take the greens along with Fat Fighter and the New You pills? Is there any side affects or anything I should be worried about?

Megan P (Community Manager) 7 Aug 2012

Holly C., I would encourage you to check with your doctor before doing this. You could also post your question in our Q&A section to hear some of the opinions of the board certified doctors who volunteer on here.

tropicalparadise 7 Aug 2012

Thats good advice. Anytime you start any kind of plan, it would be great to consult with your doctor. One important rule of thumb is the fat fighters are binding so you do not take them with anything else. They clump together 19% of the fat content from foods and moves it to your waste system instead of being redeposited into your body and tissues. This is not like ALLI. I heard the horror stories like that.

Derek C 29 Aug 2012

Agree - please check with your doctor to avoid any unforeseen harm to your body, mind, soul and / or spirit.

Our goal should be to help you achieve a healthier life not to sell at the mercy of your life.

Holly C.; I had to ask similar questions, for several different medications. I was told there would be no interactions or contraindications.

Derek C 7 Jul 2012

Hello Thickinthemiddle, the loss is permanent but if you are not making an effort to eat healthy (and I'm not referring to portions) exercise, drink your proper amount of water your body will create fat.

Look at it this way - you treated your car engine like crap - you finally took it to the shop, had your engine rebuilt but you continue to treat your engine like crap, guess what will happen to your engine over time?

Now let's say you learned from your mistakes of not properly maintaining your car and now you change your oil and follow the manufacturer's preventative maintenance guidelines - more than likely your engine will last for a very long time.

Our bodies are like machines - we need to give it good gas (bad gas will have your car back firing) bad food will give us bad results too.

So is IT Works! the magic formula - I love watching magic but there's a lot of work in order to give the show:)

Thickinthemiddle 7 Jul 2012

I'm typing this comment while laying in bed in my first wrap. I've had it on for 4.5 hours and have lost several inches. I'm not sweating so those that state that it's simply temporary as water is purging from my system cannot be right. I will leave it on for the next couple of hours, drink the water etc but my real curiosity is how long the inches will stay gone. So far though, I'm pleased

The water doesn't leave via your sweat glands. The toxins would leave the system via bodily eliminations, ie, urination and bowel movements. Also, they claim that the fat cells are actually reduced in size. I'm not a die hard. We'll see. I've got 11 wraps left, so I'll certainly use them and let you all know. I will be one unhappy customer is that $220 was a waste, flushed with the 'toxins'.
