1. I think that all the time, whether it be Intertube or TV ads.
A lot of the women they get look just fine in the "Before" picture. That's just me though... Ultra-skinny women just don;t do it for me.

2. I usually think the after pics look better
But not in Abby's case. She looks like she lost some muscle... and just doesn't look as healthy.

3. I don't trust those pictures as "real."
How do you know that it's not some other woman or the woman's sister or something? Also, those pictures which just focus on the stomach are even easier to fake.

4. Wait and see what the "after" after pic looks like
when she gains back all the weight she lost (and then some) on her Acai Berry Supplement and Colon Cleanser diet.

14. She lives in my little town too.
Edited on Fri May-29-09 05:33 PM by Kat45
It bothers me that I can be tracked to my exact town. If it had said she lives in Boston, it wouldn't faze me, but the exact town.....Big Bro is coming..... :scared:

9. I figured as much
The site is reading everyone's IP address and listing her "home" as the same as the readers


I'm sure that with tricks like this, the product is undoubtedly crapola

10. Doesn't help that you have to go through two of those "are you sure you want to leave" pop-ups
I hate those.

12. Storrs Mansfield
Which is how you'd never refer to "Storrs" or "Mansfield" if you actually lived there. Yeah, some sorta IP tracking...

7. I couldn't help noticing that in the "after" pic, she has a remarkably clean colon
I mean, how can you not notice?!?

13. Frequently
Not always, but usually.


Or in the celeb mags, it's usually the post-binge picture. Like the recent Jessica Simpson kerfluffle.
