Acai Berry

So I started on my journey on Monday 11/3/2008. First I looked into the Acaiberry sold on the internet and quickly found out that it is a scam! I had to cancel my credit card and everything. Now I've moved on and ordered my AcaiBlast from GNC. It has the same potency as the expensive stuff online so hopefully it works like everyong has said. We will see. My goal is to lose 40 pounds total. My starting weight was 177 that was on monday. I weighed myself this morning and I'm down to 173. Pretty good for just 5 days. So I will start checking in every monday to update my wieght and let you know if the Acai craze is actually worth it or just another scam for us people desperate to lose the weight!

    I, too, am interested in losing weight. I would like to know how the Acaiberry works and how you're taking it. Are you also exercising? This is my problem, I injured my leg and cannot exercise - no walking, no nothing - for at least another two months. Thanks and good luck!

    No, I want to see if it works like everyone says so I'm not changing any habits, I don't exercise and I eat semi healthy. I will let you know. So far it does give you a little boost of energy and makes you pee more often.

    I hope I remember to keep checking in to see how you are doing. I wish you lots of success! Me and a friend ordered the Acai berry pills online and she hasnt noticed any difference? I didnt really like the fact that you had to keep increasing the dosage, I'm not big on taking pills. I only have 20 lbs. to lose but it's taking so long!!! And I would like to get a jump start...so I'm gonna keep trying it.

    Good luck to you!

    Hi, I've been reading about this acai berry stuff for awhile now. I want to know how do you know that the stuff they sell you on the internet is a scam. I would like to try it but I don't want to waste my money. I won't be able to try it until after March anyway, so it would be good to get as much information as I can. Thanks, good luck to you all!

    I work at a major supplement store, and to be honest this product is nothing more than a low level naturally occurring multivitamin, wake up people the reason why this junk is priced as such, is because of two reasons:

    1. It was on Oprah, if it is so great then why did Oprah look so morbid at the party for Barack Obama, if it was such a great product than Oprah wouldn't look like a disgusting cow...

    2.You people are desperate for a cleanse all miracle pill, IT DOESN'T EXIST! If this was such a great product than myself and all of my brothers in iron (bodybuilders), would be choking the stuff down constantly we aren't! There isn't anything better for a human-being than diet and exercise! Ask any competitive bodybuilder, biochemist, or a person with some rationality, diet and exercise are the only thing that make a difference. When I say diet I do not mean some bs diet, I mean an actual diet based on nutrients first, convenience shouldn't be considered...

    Well I weighed myself this morning and I was still at 173. Which is good but I was hoping I had lost more, but I do feel like I have more energy so that's always nice. I'll keep updating every monday to let you know how it's going!

    lea_lynae I went to order it online and they don't tell you that after your 14 day free trial is up, they automatically charge your credit card $98 a month for one bottle. I can't say if those pill work or not becuase I contacted my credit card company and had them block the charge. I tried to contact the company but the number is no good. So you have no way to cancel the order.

    Acai is good. It is blended with 18 other top fruits studied by scientists to produce the excellent blend. Find it at www.mymonavie.com/1325520MikeMonahan/index.asp I already lost 3 belt sizes...

    Glad I found your blog. I almost purchased the online ones but actually read the 'terms and conditions' first and decided against it. I'm going to buy some at GNC today. I've gained about 15 lbs in a few months which I think are hormone related as it can fluctuate up to 10 lbs in one day! At any rate, I'm going to try this and cross my fingers. Hey, 4 lbs in a week? I'd take that!! Best of luck! Btw, how many do you take each day?
