It Works Body Wraps Review: Real?

Lately there have been some increasingly negative comments coming through on my review- most of which violated our Community Guidelines so you guys haven't seen them, but I see it all.  Yes I am thin and in shape, and I do have pockets of fat on my body as most women do.  I am fully aware that my fat pockets are isolated areas that aren't very big.  I'm not here saying I need to lose a significant amount of weight, because I don't.  However like me there are plenty of thin appearing women who have trouble spots that bother them.  BTW I've seen plenty of distributors claim these wraps are "perfect" for women like me.     I was asked to try these wraps by my employer and write a review of my experience.  I agreed and thought it would be fun.  All of this has already been mentioned in previous updates.  I documented my process in an effort to help our community.  I followed the instructions provided by the company.  I saw no results.  Let me be clear that I'm not only talking about inches lost or fat, I saw NO change in my skin texture/cellulite/laxity.  End of story.The windfall of negative comments about how I am "sickly" thin or that I didn't have anywhere to treat, that I did it wrong because I need to follow a distributor's instructions versus those provided by the company, that actually they only really work if you buy XY and Z too, are getting to be too much.  This is suppose to be a safe and supportive place for people to share their experiences.  I'm not sure why my review creates such an ugly reaction in some people, but before you post please keep in mind what RealSelf is about- and negative, hurtful comments are not a part of our culture.  If you found the wraps to work wonders for you then write a review and post your own pictures and videos, but please don't attack those of us who had zero results.   

I haven't updated in a while, life is a little nuts right now!  So thanks to my lady calendar, I opted to wait until Aunt Flow left the building to do the final wrap because I was bloated and didn't want to skew the results. Although now that I think about it maybe the wraps would have helped with the bloat!  Dang!I have the final wraps on right now and am doing a video entry for the whole enchilada, stay tuned for that :)

I had a busy weekend and didn't have a chance to update my review, but I did do a second treatment on Saturday night.  This time I cut the wrap in half so that I have the opportunity to do a third treatment in a few days, and since half the wrap covers my saddle bag no prob.I followed the directions, just like last time, and chose to wear the wraps overnight for 8 hours.  They moved around a bit because I toss when I sleep, but they kept my saddlebags covered no problem.  The next morning I had to take a shower to get ready for an event, so I just skipped the soap in an effort to keep as much of the wrap solution on my skin.I've added some pictures to show what the wrap looks like when it is fully unwrapped, and some of the application process.  I wasn't able to take video- it was really awkward to get my phone to balance and actually show what I was doing so I gave up on that, but the whole process is super straight-forward.I've noticed that the main It Works website has basically no information as far as how to get the best results, tips and tricks, etc.  However the independent distributor websites have a ton of tips for getting results.  So does that mean the main company does not endorse any of these tips but they let their sellers say whatever?  Also the main site says the wraps tighten, tone, firm and reduce the appearance of cellulite.  They don't mention rapid weight loss or losing inches.  Yet there are crazy before and after pics all over the internet that imply otherwise. Results:Oh and I should mention- I ate a ton of salt yesterday and my measurement today is 22.75!  WTF!  So I'm starting to think these multiple inches people lose after doing the wraps are really from them drinking lots of water and cutting out the salts.  Just my opinion.  I do think these wraps may serve as a catalyst for people to start living a healthier lifestyle, and they also sell green drinks and other more health conscious products so I get that these wraps could help people take the plunge and lose weight.  I've been pretty open about being skeptical about the efficacy of body wraps for weight loss, but I don't think this company is doing anything morally wrong or different than any other company out there (the weight loss industry is a multibillion dollar industry after all and their profits are on the rise at the same rate as obesity).  I'll do the final wrap on Tuesday and keep you posted in the meantime.
