Have you heard of Sauna Suits?

I haven't heard about sauna suits yet. I'm not sure if its available in my country. I'm not sure either if I can wear it or not since I'm a little underweight. It sounded cool though and wouldn't mind trying it on for some good sweat. I read what you said to the first poster. Working as a model is not easy. My guy best friend has been a model for 15 years and he had seen the best and worst of the modeling world. He needed to go to the gym everyday and worked hard to maintain his abs. He also experienced gays coming on to him. He was finally able to relax and breathe deeply when he quit modeling.

This is so spooky...I bought one today at Walmart. LOL I've been walking 30 mins. each morning (I give myself one day off a week) since April 30th. As soon as CJ gets on bus for school I've been putting on an abestos suit (one piece), put sweats over that, and headed out with my walkman and a Propel sports bottle filled with my homebrewed green tea in each hand for replenishing fluid loss as well as doubling for arm weights. I'll tell you what, by the time I get home my body is so wet that it takes about 5 mins. to pry the suit off. Then I jump in shower and it feels so good...My husband said he'd get me another suit from work because there's a rip in the leg of mine but if I had to wait for him..? So, when I went to Walmart I noticed they had a black sauna suit and snatched it, as well as a 'tummy' belt that's going to go under that. I also grabbed a 10 min. Pilates DVD that came with a free pedometer in it. Mark gave me 20 bucks to get some good walking shoes; I 'power-walk'... So tomorrow will be my first day with new suit, shoes and tummy belt. I've already lost so many inches since end of April I can't believe it. I don't weigh myself because I get discouraged easily when I don't see quick results, so when I notice that my clothes feel better and I feel better that's what keeps me going. Good for you, Faith...Keep it up and we can let each other know how it's going. Just make sure that keep replenishing your body with fluids as you lose them or you will faint, etc.

They were quite common in the 60's as wellI remember my sister putting one on under here dress before going out in the evening sometimes,she had a bad habit of overeating when we were at the park having hotdogs and hamburgers over open fires,so she said she did not want it to show and get rid of it as soon as possible. I on the other hand,was always to skinny,I could,and am still able to eat to my hearts content and never gain an ounce,so never found out what it felt like to wear all that plastic.lol Made her mad at me,but good chuckle. Blessed Be.

$7? That's a huge roll of Saran Wrap. hahaha. Just kidding. I remember in the late 60's and early 70's when models etc used Saran Wrap wrapping their bodies fully to sweat off excess pounds. I don't think I'd fit in it with you? Or would I? Hahahaha!!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM (slim) GRANDPA BOB !!~

I have never heard of a sauna suit. I wonder if they have them here in Canada. I will do anything to accellerate my weight loss. I lost another 3.6 pounds this week for a total of 9.6 in 2 weeks. Though I went to Red Lobster today and I over did it. I will be right on track tomorrow.

LOL I have never heard of them but the theory behind them makes perfect sense to me. I did not know that you used to be a model! That is so cool. I think every little girl wants to be one at some point in her life but you acturlly did it and I think that is great.

LOL...I can see you dancing around in your little suit. I don't like being that hot, so, it's not something I would do. Besides that, you'll gain back any weight you lost as soon as you have a glass of water. So, it's not fat you're losing, just water. I can't believe they're still selling that.

Wish I'd been there with a camera...lol. I'd never heard of a sauna suit but I do dance a lot (not enough). Somehow the idea of a woman, overweight, with bad knees half way to 60 nearly does not conjure pretty thoughts. Unfortunately I never sweat much so I'm not sure how good a workout it is. I really should do it more often.

hello byfaith! Wow that was the suit that really fits me I guess my dream sauna suit! hope that will be available here in my country and the price is reasonable enough to loss some stored fats around somewhere ha!ha!ha I just sign in after weeks of being busy and as to date still I am but the sauna suit catch my interests while I was browsing discussion. You are a beautiful model my friend inside and out and also do have a beautiful mind too! Godbless byfaith! I will dropped a line from time to time if time permits ha!ha!ha I really love the sauna suit!

I have never heard of the sauna suits, although I remember hearing about the plastic wrap thing. I never tried it myself, although I had thought about it. My mom told me that it wouldn't be a healthy way to lose weight, so we went another route insead. I don't suppose it would be too unhealthy though if you didn't wear it all day of the time, which is what I was going to do with the plastic wrap.

I have not heard of it myself. I thought they were suits to be used in real spas with machines, not at home. But it sounds cheap, doesn't it? Is WalMart really selling things so cheap? We have no WalMart in Singapore and getting any suit of clothes for $7 seems impossibly cheap to me. I have heard of suits that "rearrange" the fats on your body so that you look thinner - you have to keep wearing them so that the new "shape" would stay. Instead of wearing that suit, here's a ridiculous suggestion - go for a run instead. If it is not safe, why don't you head over to WalMart and get a threadmill for $25? Since you are already moving on in this world, the sky is the limit. Cheers. ;-)

I'm sorry but I haven't tried sauna suits or wraps so I can't share my opinion on this. Anyway, steam rooms works best for me. I usually go to the spa and spend 30 minutes on a steam room(recommended time is only 15minutes). It's pretty relaxing in there as you breathe in and breathe out. It's the one place where my mind need not work overtime. And I really feel light after. Who wouldn't be with all the calories you've just burned?

Hello byfaithonly so the sauna suit is really work? Can make you swweated. I really want to buy one for me, but i thought that i would never work. Did you put food wrap too? I try to use the food wrap but it didn't work on me. God bless you *angel www.beautycosmetictips.com

Sauna belts are used to loose weight. I think the sauna suit contains sauna belt also. Sauna belt is normally used around tummy to reduce fat in that area. Sauna belt help to sweat and thus burns the fat.

I have heard of sauna suits but I have never tried one. If you sweat that much aren't you worried about dehydration?

Do you wear the whole suit or just 1/2 at a time? a lot of the time my sister would only wear the bottoms as she wanted to loose eight from her waist and hips and thighs. when she got it off the waist and thighs,she quit for a bit,but started looking for other ways to get it off the butt. She did try the plastic wrap,but as it was not full body wrap,it kept falling down on her. Did you or anyone else have this sort of problem? Blessed Be.

Thanks for sharing you story, I've heard of people using plastic wrap for weight loss before, I guess if it helps, why not. I've always wondered if those suits worked or even if they'll help. I need to lose weight, along with everything else I'm trying, I should try one too. After all, what do I have to loose, right? I have a treadmill, and maybe wearing one would turn up the heat on my workout. I think I'll run to Walmart and get one too.

LOL At least you are having fun with it. Did you ever read the book Seabiscuit? .... about the little horse that could? It was an excellent read, I highly recommend it. Anyway, the author talked a lot about the life of the jockeys back then. Like models, they would do just about anything to keep their weight in the required range. One of the things they would do in despiration is go bury themselves in the pile of horse doodoo behind the tracks. It was like a compost pile turned on high, it would get really hot and help them drop a few pounds before weigh in. Can you imagine???

well i think sauna belt r effective...few of my frnds r using it and believe me they have lost weight..use it and it will be great
