Mike asked about "slimming creams".

Mary responds:
Oh, pullleeeeeeaaaassseee, give me a break. And give me some freaking
biological mechanism by which such a thing would work.

If the theory is it has some active ingredient that can actually be
absorbed via the skin, it would have to be some scary stuff to make
you lose weight (i.e. something that if you took it by mouth, you
would want to be under a doctors care).

No such thing as an easy out in this game.

Lost 65 lb, the old fashioned way...and the only way that works. I ate
less. I moved around more.
