I'm interested in trying.... to see if it works for me. However; I too wanted to see what people had to say and if it worked for them. Just interested in something to get me jump started. the itWorks was cheap enough to want to try. I honestly, do not want to throw my hard earned money away. Were you able to find a comparable solution to a body wrap? Did you try anything else? And i agree with you on the "realistic photos". Some pics just seem to be taken at a different angle. Or one pic taken with the stomach pooched out and the elastic band sitting differently on the waist. Just curious. I'm still researching.

Actually went and got this done at a lady who promotes it in sydney. She was a sweetheart told me all about her clients sudden miracle weight loss and it didnt work for me. was totally bummed.
The cream itself didnt absorb - im not morbit obese or anything have a personal trainer etc but in the last few weeks alone have been caught up with work so much i needed the motivation and turned to this. maybe it works for some people, just not for me.
back to the gym - teach me to try and take a short cut for a flat stomach.
I would like to become a distributor..or host a party. There is not a distributor in my area that I know of.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to give a reminder that soliciting within the community (ie posting your email address, website, etc) is not allowed within the community, as it violates our community guidelines.
You are welcome to share any general information about the wraps that you would like, but we do need to ask that you refrain from posts that are an attempt to gain business. Repeated postings of this nature can lead to being blocked from the community, and we prefer that not to be the case for anyone. We want RealSelf to be a place to discuss products and gather information, and if left unchecked the solicitation posts can overrun the informative ones, making the entire thread much less helpful to those seeking information.
If you have any questions about this you are welcome to send me a private message, or you can contact our Community Support Center at anytime by clicking on the "Help" tab at the bottom of each page.
I used the wraps today and WOW they do work! I will be ordering a bunch more!!
· Besides showering prior to use or washing the area with warm water, exfoliating prior to applying the applicators is helpful. Anything that may be on your skin that could interfere with absorption such as moisturizing soaps/body washes and lotions could be a problem. These products leave a film and may stop someone from seeing results, one solution is to use It Works Cleansing Gel or another natural soap.
· If using the ItWorks Toner, spray it on the area they are applicating and allow it to dry, this prepares the skin for maximum absorption.
· Be sure to wrap the same area for several applications before moving onto another area of the body and drink half of your body weight in ounces per day to help eliminate the toxins from your body.
· Some people have smaller pores then others and some people have thicker skin so it takes longer to see results, the absorption rate is not the same.
· Tanning (Sunbathing/Tanning Beds/Sunless Tanning Products) can make skin extremely dry, thus making the ingredients in the applicator harder to penetrate through pores. Using Defining Gel twice a day for a week and then going back to using the Ultimate Applicators can help.
· Smoking can cause toxin buildups. Using Regular to rid the body of toxins in the colon can help to see better results with Ultimate Applicator .
· Sweating can interfere with ingredients from the Ultimate Applicator from being absorbed through the pores. This is why people should not exercise or do activity to make them sweat while using the Ultimate Applicator.
· Poor bowel elimination can cause excess buildup of toxins. Regular can help detox the colon.
· Excess Toxin Exposure (i.e. Salons/Dry Cleaners/Industrial Plants/Pest Control/etc.) can cause the buildup of toxins. Using Regular and the Ultimate Applicator consistently will help eliminate toxins.
· Avoid Soda Pop (both regular and diet) and Alcohol which have a lot of toxins due to the high sugar and artificial ingredients.
With use of the Ultimate Applicators, you are detoxing your body. I encourage you to continue detoxing because for many of us, it does take longer to see results. But, you will have to be diligent about it. Remember the Ultimate Applicator is continuing to work for 72 hours following application and for optimum results, try to wrap 72 hours apart as often as possible. Again, you may want to try adding the Defining Gel too, it can be used two to three times a day.
The first time I used a wrap was last summer. The second time was last Wednesday. My measurements pre-wrap were 30.5" (above navel), 33.5" (around navel), and 35.5" (below navel). When I measured immediately after removing the wrap, there was no difference at all. 48 hours after, I measured at 31", 33.5", and 36". 72 hours after, my measurements were 31.5", 34.5", and 36.5". Again, I drink 130 oz of water on a daily basis. I don't smoke, don't tan, and haven't had soda in three years. I exfoliated with sea salt and water prior to using the wrap, so there's no chance that a film was left on my skin. As far as using Regular and the Defining gel, I'm hesitant to buy any other itWorks products when the one I've used has performed so poorly.
