Slender wrap

  • Just wondering if this worked. I was thinking the other day, i weighed this amount in high school but yet, i was 4 sizes smaller in high school. That makes NO sense to me. Slender wrap claims to wrap you in this solution and it takes inches (6-30) off in the first wrap, like your body used to be years ago. Made me think Hmmm. I wonder if i am just full of toxins, supposedely your body collects toxins as you age, if i got rid of the toxins, would i lose some inches?
  • I wish it worked like that. Unfortunately, it's just a sales pitch. You'll lose some water weight, which will come back in a day or two. It has no effect on the fat in your body. It also has no effect on "toxins" because we don't really store toxins. Our bodies do a very good job of eliminating the things we don't need. The threat of "toxins" has been used for pitching a lot of unnecessary products because it sounds scary.

    Our bodies change as we age. You might have been a few sizes smaller, but maybe you had more lean mass then and more fat now, which will do that. There are a lot of things that could have happened since then to change your size/shape without changing your weight. I know that no matter how much weight I lose, my butt will never be as small as it was in high school
  • That was not what i wanted to hear Suzanne, but sadly, i am sure you are right. ;-)
  • Also, with vanity sizing so prevalent nowdays, it may be that the clothing sizes aren't the same anymore. I've read that a 14 today was a size 10 less than five years ago.
  • Good point, Tammy, I hadn't thought about that!

    Other way around. Today's 10 is a few years ago's 14.
  • Thanks
