-would recommend it, but I think it's ipnmrtaot that people have a realistic expectation of how this device works.  The Flex Belt works as claimed (strengthens and firms abs) however it isn't a silver bullet weight loss solution. If you're in reasonably good shape and want to firm up your abs this device works. However if you're 20 pounds over weight and expect to have a six pack in 6 weeks without changing your diet or doing other exercise then save your money.

+=== Background ===
+There's been a lot of discussion lately (after the Hamburg F2F) on what the initial values of 'flex' should be, and there are some concerns raised by Ojan with the resolution recorded there.
+=== Problem Statement ===
+What are the best initial values for flex?
+=== Proposal(s) ===
+== Proposal A: ''flex: none'' ==
+  * Pros
+    * It's easier to use alignment and auto margins
+    * Easier for use cases that want some but not most items flexible, e.g. one item takes up all free space
+  * Cons
+    * Doesn't have negative flexibility be default, which could help prevent overflow in many cases
+    * Inconsistent with 'stretch' default in cross-dimension
+== Proposal B: ''flex: auto'' ==
+  * Pros
+    * Negative flex is on by default, preventing overflow in many cases
+    * Consistent with 'stretch' default in cross-dimension
+  * Cons
+    * Harder to use alignment and margins, since have to turn off flex first
+    * More work for use cases that want most items inflexible
+== Proposal C: ''flex: 0 1 auto'' ==
+  * Pros
+    * Negative flex is on by default, preventing overflow in many cases
+    * Easy to use alignment and auto margins since positive free space is not flexed
+    * Easy for use cases where free space is distributed to e.g. only one item
+  * Cons
+    * Inconsistent with 'stretch' default in cross-dimension
+=== Resolution ===
+The WG resolved on Proposal C.
