Those ladies don't even look like they need to lose weight! They looked perfectly fine to me!

Have you seen Shape X Booster? (look for it on google) It is a quick way to burn calories fast.

That suction cup treatment looks like an early form of endermologie , which actually does work to reduce cellulite

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Facial steamers are still very popular. It's not easy, [trying] to be beautiful! ☺

LOL reminded me of an Ab Fab episode.

[NotMostGirls]

I wish I was as 'fat' as these ladies!

Seaweed, parrafin, steaming and cupping-you're absolutely right.
