125 pounds lost! Updated pic 3/14/08

[lucyloo]

Ok, I'm really puzzled here. Teresardodd sent me a private message asking about this Acai ad. I followed the link she provided and did not see any ad with my picture. I never signed up for any ad like this and I have not gained my weight back, I've been maintaining at 145 pounds for the last year. If anyone else can see this ad and send me a link that really does show it, please let me know. This is complete fraud and someone is using my pictures without my permission!!!

[Teresardodd]

the link is www.msnbc.com your picture (same as these pics) was there June 9. The add is on the far right hand side below the empty white box that you saw, i too see the empty white box. The link says norfolk/portsmouth women loses 47 pounds. You won't see Norfolk/portsmouth words unless you live in this area. I actually work in Norfolk.
A different persons pictures are there now. I swear I saw her before too someplace.

[Teresardodd]

I just copied and pasted the ad. See below. I am able to click on the Norfolk-Portsmouth lines.

When I click on the rachel ray links I get before and after pics of someone in exactly the same town I am in!! What are the chances of that happening. A white pages search does not find one of the names even in my town, but there are four in the surrounding area. I am wondering if even Rachel (dr. oz, oprah, etc.) endorses these products or whether all the sites are just mocked up to look real.

[Teresardodd]

Redrox when I click the links It shows me some one from my home town. Who on June 9 was Lucylou. She does not live in Virginia let alone my town. I bet they found her pics on SB and copied them. I remembered her pictures because I was / am impressed with her weight loss.

[lucyloo]

Thanks for the responses, Redrox and Teresa. I was able to click on those links and they bring up a picture of someone supposedly from the town I am in as well. It must be a fraud and the company searches for pictures to use without people's permission. I am SO angry, I wish I could find see the pictures and call the company about this. Since it's such a scam though, I probably wouldn't be able to even get a real person on the phone to speak to.

[Teresardodd]

look at what I found on line? I hope you can click this link and read it.

OMG HERE IT IS AGAIN
IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO COPY AND PAST all of it IT. iT SAYS YOUR NAME IS Jillian Rogers.


I lost 52 lbs with these (FREE) products and Reclaimed My LifePosted by Jillian on May 4th, 2009
My name is Jillian Rogers from Virginia Beach, VA. and I wanted to share my weight loss story with you. I’m no medical guru or anything like that. I’m just a mom who figured out a system that works better than all the famous diets you tried (you know, the ones that didn’t work?). Hopefully my story inspires you to get the same results as me without killing yourself on a treadmill.

Most skinny people think that overweight people got that way because they’re lazy. Truth is, many woman gain extra weight because of life. Kids, work, school — it all takes time from our day. And it’s all so exhausting. Who wants to come home after a full day of work, put kids to sleep, and jump straight on the treadmill? Not me, that’s for sure. And it has nothing to do with laziness. People only have so much energy.

I wasn’t “supermodel skinny,” but I was pretty slim. After my first son was born, I gained about 10 lbs. After my third kid was born, I gained a total of 31 lbs. I weighed 163 lbs and felt uncomfortable in my own body. So I decided to start dieting. I tried all the “brand-name” diets like Atkins, South Beach, cabbage (my least favorite), soup, lemon juice. You name it, I tried it. But none produced real results that lasted. So I gave up.






Yep, that was me at my heaviest and right before my life changed when I started using Acai Detox and Bromalite. I found out you can actually try them for free. Here’s the trick! These offers are expiring on Fri. Jun 12th, 2009 So hurry before they’re gone!

I stopped going out with friends. I felt ugly. I started eating more and more because I just didn’t care. I was in a downward spiral. At my heaviest, I weighed 187 lbs. Then I saw something on Oprah that changed my life.The TV show changed my life!

It was one Oprah TV show that changed my life. I would not say I owe my life to Oprah, but I would say that if I had not been watching when a Dr. Mehmet Oz came on to talk about a new superfood called Acai berry, I would probably still be fat.

Dr. Oz was a pretty credible guy. He is vice-chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University. He had authored over 400 original publications, book chapters and medical books. And I trusted Oprah not to have shady doctors on, so I had a feeling this was not one of those too good to be true products.

Dr. Oz raved about a new berry from the Amazon Rainforest called Acai (pronounced ah-sa-ee). It is more powerful than pomegranate or red wine. And they can be put into easy to take supplement capsules. But the part that hooked me was when Dr. Oz explained how Acai helps you lose weight by reducing hunger and raising energy levels.

Acai seemed like the product I had been waiting for all along. Plus, after I saw that show I found out that even CNN, ABC, CBS and the Wall Street Journal have been covering the health benefits of Acai berries.

Even Rachel Ray herself has used this diet and was successful. She looks hot now!

Then the very next day I saw Dr. Oz on another show talking about another extremely effective way of losing weight as well. Dr Oz explained that how cleansing your colon or a Colon Cleanse is a great way to lose unwanted weight. I do not know all the medical details, but basically he was explaining how years worth of gunk and junk get trapped in your colon and trap in all sorts of toxins.

It is a thick slime like tar and it also ads a few inches to your waistline. And basically there are some products out there, again that come in a supplement pill form. And that all you have to do was take a pill and it will naturally clean out your colon.

Dr Oz explained that, you can do all the exercise you want and not lose weight without the right supplements to clean you and energize you. I thought, Maybe thats why all those diets failed for me. Dr. Oz said that cleansing out this sludge would automatically make you lose weight in ways dieting and exercise can not.

I liked Oprah and Dr. Oz because they themselves were not trying to peddle some product themselves. Oprah and Dr. Oz was trying to get the public understand the health benefits simply taking either an Acai berries or a Colon Cleanse supplement pills. And Rachel Ray did it herself!


The Acai & Bromalite combo diet that melted my fat away like magic

These were the two amazing products that Oprah and Dr. Oz spoke about: Acai berries and Bromalite supplements. Typically they are sold separately by two different companies. But, I had my idea to combine these two methods, I needed to find a way to test it without spending lots of money.

I searched for a few days and found some great free trials of products to test.

The two products I found, and still use, are Acai Detox and Bromalite.

Here is how I combine them so effectively:

Step 1:

Acai Detox is the first and most important part of my routine.

Acai Detox helps me:

Super boost my energy by giving me more vitamins and nutrients than any other food on the planet
Cause me to lose my hunger pains. You just do not feel hungry anymore.
Stabilizes my metabolism
Revitalizes my skin cells. So when I lose the weight my skin will be tight around my body. This also tightens skin around my neck and face. Basically tightens your skin throughout your body. I just look younger, because I am tight everywhere.
I got a free 30-day trial of Acai Detox and I simply love the fact that I can take the Acai 1 capsule in the morning and one at night.

Step 2:

Bromalite is the second important step in my routine. While Acai Detox gives me energy, revitalize my cells and helps suppress my hunger, the Bromalite:


Removes walls of aged sludge in my colon. This sludge goes away down the toilet and out of your body.
Now that my colon is completely cleaned out this intern allows my body to actually get rid of the fat by dumping the fat out through my now cleaned out colon. It is amazing
And then since the colon is now clean, my body will actually able to absorb the Acai Detox even better
This allows even more fat and toxins to be eliminated through the colon, including toxins built up in the liver, gal bladder, pancreas and even breast tissue
This becomes a revitalizing cycle that keeps on benefiting my body over and over. I become beautiful again from the inside and now it will begin show on the outside.
This will drop pounds of retained water and fat, tighten your skin, make you look and feel 10-15 years younger, boost your energy, regulate your mood, my blood pressure and cholesterol levels
I got a free bottle of Bromalite and I take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening when I take my Acai. They are the perfect weight-loss combination, helping drop my ugly fat from everywhere and cleanse my system of harmful waste build up.

The results of MY OWN diet routine

During my trial period I lost 32 lbs! I continued using both products and lost another 20 lbs. (That is a total of 52 lbs in 3 months!) I am back to a reasonable weight and am just 10 lbs away from my pre-mom weight!

I feel healthier and more refreshed than ever. My husband is so proud of what I accomplished and I have more energy to do fun activities with my kids. But best of all, I look and feel sexier than I did in my twenties!

I hope my story provides at least some motivation to help you lose weight. Just do not give up

[Maralian]

I was able to find them! google "jillian rogers lost 47 pounds" and you will find a link to lucyloo's pictures, this is a disgusting fraud!

[tatortot]

I just did what you said about googling and it says she is from weatherford texas , of course thats where I live. How in the world do these people get away with this fraud. Lucyloo you must feel like this is such an invasion of your life. This is so wrong and something needs to be done about this.

[lucyloo]

I know, I am just sick about it!!! (I can now finally see the pictures.) My sister is close friends with a lawyer and she is asking him what I can do, if anything. I also went to Rachel Ray's website and Oprah's website and emailed them to let them know that their names are being used in connection with this fraud. We'll see if I hear back. I don't know whether to laugh or scream!!! (The only laughing part is I'm telling my friends to call me Jillian now. Snort. My real name is Chris.)

[SBD_Newbie]

I can only advise you to make screenshots asap, proving the fraud.
The domain was registered over a service called "godaddy.com" (see: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-s ... ewbody.com). They must have the data of the company behind.
I don't know how it is in the US, but in Germany you have to have an imprint on your website. They don't have. This alone would be enough to sue them. That they violated your personality rights is a severe case.
Secure all the proofs, then get a lawyer and you should be able to at least get the picture removed. If they are not registerd on some funny island at the end of the world then you should also be able to get a compensation.

Good luck for you!

P.S. They are really not stupid: they used this service: http://domainsbyproxy.com/ Check there "Legal issues"!

I can't imagine how this has you feeling, Lucyloo, because it has me considering taking down my photos and closing my photobucket(outside account I posted from). Does anyone know if this has happened to others on this site? Have there been similar abuses of images or info posted here? I know there are inhereny dangers when posting on a public site and what I have gotten out of this site is invaluable, but what is happening with Lucyloo feels like such a violation.
Anyway, Lucyloo (Chris )hope you get this all worked out and good job on keeping your chin up and smiling through all this. You're amazing

[calluna]

FYI, I saw one of these ads with your picture just now (and came rushing over here because I remembered seeing your pictures on this forum!). I can see I'm not the first to spot this problem -- how infuriating it must be to have someone use the photos of your amazing progress without permission and exploit them!

The site the ad went to was:
http://www.lifeoflinda.com/index.php?id=RMX
***NOTE*** Be careful opening this link! It had all kinds of nasty popups.

Incidentally, when I clicked through, I saw photos and fake endorsements of Oprah and Dr. Oz, though I just heard the other day they were suing some company peddling acai for false representation (not sure if it's the same company).

What a pain. Good luck dealing with this!

Great stuff lucyloo!
