You're a lot like me... I started at 235 and my goal is 140....I'm 160 right now.
It's a tough road but SO worth it

I started watching my portions and cutting out fast food and sodas.
I also do boxing workouts, jumping rope and interval trianing. Sometimes I'll go for jogs but I'm not very good at that

Thanks!
I'm doing an herbal body wrap. It's been melting away inches like mad. It made me realize that my weight issue was due to toxins. (we have mold in our house that we are battling with) The solution detoxes the fat cells and makes them shrink. So since the toxins are being eliminated, my overall health is better!! it makes me happy.
I'm sorry but did you speak to a doctor about mold causing you to gain weight? I have never heard of this before in my life.
Second, Which medical study or science proves that a body wrap removes 'toxins' (oh and what are these toxins please) and causes fat cells to shrink? I would like to read this study. Thank you.

First off, shoo? Please understand this is a public forum. When you state items like you did, anyone can come up and question you about it.
Detox:

The Mayo Clinic is a highly regarded group of medical professionals.

Also a fairly qualified source.

Debunking The Detox Myth
As you see, not the only report of the information..
I could go on if you want.
You are ok putting your sale site in your profile. I am not talking about that, I am talking about the idea that a body wrap detox which is bunk as well as stating that mold caused your weight gain (I'm thinking more than you overestimated your calorie intake) and that by doing detox, your fat cells shrink. I am asking you for facts or studies because you are far from the first to talk about this and there is yet anyone who can answer.

I'm done with all of this.
I come here looking for a community where I can talk to others who are in the same boat I am, get inspiration and maybe a little support.
Instead, just because I have used products to help me lose weight, had great results and decided to list the website in my profile, I get harassed at every turn.
So feel proud, I'm done here. I can find other sources of encouragement, because i am certainly not going to find it here.
And not ONCE did I ever try to sell anyone anything. Like I said, it wasn't even my site.
Good day.

That is the actual 'Detox Dossier'.
Um..the reason people are dying due to pollution does not have a connection to the detox fad.
* Nearly half the world's people are crowded into urban areas, often without adequate sanitation, and are exposed to epidemics of such diseases as measles and flu.
* With 1.2 billion people lacking clean water, waterborne infections account for 80 percent of all infectious diseases. Increased water pollution creates breeding grounds for malaria-carrying mosquitoes, killing 1.2 million to 2.7 million people a year, and air pollution kills about 3 million people a year. Unsanitary living conditions account for more than 5 million deaths each year, of which more than half are children.
* Air pollution from smoke and various chemicals kills 3 million people a year. In the United States alone about 3 million tons of toxic chemicals are released into the environment -- contributing to cancer, birth defects, immune system defects and many other serious health problems.
* Soil is contaminated by many chemicals and pathogens, which are passed on to humans through direct contact or via food and water. Increased soil erosion worldwide not only results in more soil being blown but spreading of disease microbes and various toxins.
None of these can be fixed by the detox fad. The pollution takes away the basic needs like food and water. There is no proof that the products you are using actually works as you believe. You lost weight because your calorie intake is less than you are burning. THAT is fact. That is supported by science.
No one has at any point said you was trying to sell anything. What I am pointing out is those products are frauds. The medical community has claimed it to be a fraud. One reason I'm debating this with you is because others come here and see you claim you lost weight with an herbal wrap. So they turn to it thinking it will help them and it has been proven not to. If you was saying you took diet pill X and claimed it worked, I would debate that fact as well.
