I got mine on eBay, cost a little less than $32 with free shipping for a one month supply of the Acai and a Colon Cleanse.

For now, I just wanted to mention that eBay is available for either or both and it's cheaper than what those "free trials" will end up costing you, hehe.

It's only been a few days but I have noticed a few changes. First off, I thought the colon cleanse would hurt like a laxative but it doesn't. It is working, but it feels natural. And I am starting to feel a slight increase in energy though nothing to get too excited about yet.

I'm not making any significant changes towards my exercise or diet. I kinda wanted to test the pills by itself for the first month and kinda lean into other habits from there. But, I'll let you know how it goes. It will be one week on Friday so I'll pop in and let you know if I lost anything.

So I didn't forget to post on Friday, hehe.

Anyway, by that one-week mark, I was down 4lbs which isn't as fantastic as the stories. The first weigh-in was at the in-laws' and we got a new scale for our home so those 4lbs might just be a difference in opinion (as Verizon would like to say).

My husband tried one of those BeachBody supplements (his father had 2 unopened boxes so he opened one of them). He ended up losing 10 lbs in 3 weeks (didn't weigh himself in between). So that one is slower but was a definite loss regardless of the difference in scales. It also regulated his sleep patterns which is a plus (his schedule got thrown off after he got laid off). It was the multivit one if anyone wants to look that one up.

I lost 2 more pounds this week and that was taking 1 Acai in the morning and another in the afternoon. I found another bottle of Acai .. seems to be the same dosage of ingredients .. only the instructions say to take 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon (there's also more in the bottle, hehe).

So I'm going to try that and see what happens. I took 2 this morning and I'm feeling an energy boost that I didn't notice on 1 capsule. I don't know if it's the new bottle or the fact that I took 2. Who knows ... the smaller bottle says DON'T take 2 doses at the same time! Well, that's not confusing at all ...

you can get the aci at a health food store for 20.00 a bottle and the have the juices too. Do not take it and I think all pills are a scam for diets but what works for one.... I found a natural detox pill... it is called super cleanse for all who want a good cleaning with no cramps or issues

Default Didn't work worth

I was pissed.
I ordered both, exercised, and watched what I ate. No results whatsoever :|
Plus, they scammed me. I had to cancel my debit card because they were randomly taking money from me.

Screw you Rachel Ray and Oprah!

Well, I didn't lose any weight this week.

I think the colon cleanse makes you lose weight more than anything and it doesn't seem to have much affect anymore, even at the maximum dosage of 6 per day.

I like the affects of the second Acai bottle though. I don't have any more groggy mornings, I rather wake up feeling refreshed (before taking my morning dosage). So I'll likely finish up that bottle and take the colon cleanse on alternating weeks or something.

As for actual weight loss ... I suppose it's time to start that yoga! It's about the only video I can follow from start to finish (unlike those other exercise for "beginners" videos).

I haven't tried it, but I was doing some research and came across a product called Perfect Acai. It didn't really mention anything about weight loss, but is considered to be really good for your health since it contains 100% acai...only freeze-dried and without seed.

And according to their Consumer Bill of Rights, you don't get autobilled for it. Whether you want the shipment or not is entirely up to you.

I'm sorry, when I said, "Whether you want the shipment or not is entirely up to you"...I meant "the NEXT shipment..."

=)

Default Acai Berry Power

I tried it. Did not notice much of a result. Seems a lot of people selling for a high price.

From what I've heard, the acai berry is very healthy for you. It is considered having antioxidents. Basically, it will help you go to the bathroom a lot. I don't think it helps make you lose weight though....just my thought.
