There are dozens of weight loss programs and "lose ten pounds instantly" schemes. Some of them work and some of them don't. Why do you think so many people even try these weight loss programs when the results are not the best? Maybe its the advertising?

Here are my picks for some of the funniest and most creative weight loss program ads from recent marketing campaigns:

1. Weight Watchers - Before and After Doors

These doors are labeled entrance and exit with the Weight Watchers logo in between.

3. Weight Watchers - Elevator...and Up and Down Weight

The elevator is showing how to avoid the yo-yoing of your weight (by the up and down and changing of floors in the elevator).

4. Weight Watchers - Weight Loss Boomerang

This "bacon boomerang" was handed to people as they walked down the street.

5. AnnaNas - Lost Cans of Weight

Anna Nas is a weight loss company in Italy. These "lost" cans were placed all over the city of Milan right before summer. Each one represented a kilo lost.

6. Guarana Diet - Stop Growing

7. Special K - Weight Stretch

These stretch posters were attached to the back of weight machines, so the woman slimmed up as the lines to the weights were stretched.

8. Special K - Shrinking Snowmen

This billboard showed the snowman getting smaller and smaller, representing the days he was taking the Special K challenge.
