This just shows the difference between having a regular consultation with someone and buying something on the Internet or mail order with no contact with the company. Also you say "the calorie consumption was too low to sustain my workout" - this is the key. You stuck to a diet. It is possible to do this without accupressure - millions do succeed every year. Exercise does not make you thin, calorie controlled dieting does. What you have here is the support to help you lose weight. Your weekly consultations. But maybe this could be achieved through a weight loss group? Hi Jenna, thanks for sharing.

I did not purchase the Accu-Slim beads but went to a certified person for accupressure and had the beads placed behind my ear. They actually put a bead on both ears that you wear for a full week an rotate on the odd hours of each day. I started this on September 15 as a birthday present for my 49th birthday. I had tried every diet imaginable as well as working out and eating healthy and still could not lose the 60 lbs that I had gained overnight. The strict food requirement of dairy for two days and vegtables two days actually acts like a detox and after the first two weeks you really do not crave many things that you would have reach for. Although I am still seeing the person every week for the beads, I have applied regular beads that I picked up in the craft store to several family and friends who are all seeing similar results. The diet is strict but I am not hungary the fat is melting off and the muscle is in tact, the one thing I did stop was working out since I felt the calorie consumption was too low to sustain my workout. So after Thanksgiving when I come off this diet I will be going back to the gym and watching what I eat so that I don't gain this all back. I am so glad that I did this diet and would recommend it to anyone who is tired of people telling you to eat right and exercise and you should be okay, they have not been down this road where you do eat right and exercise and the weight does not come off. If you do this you have to be committed to it and you will see results. I am proof since I was one of those people this is the best money that I have ever spent and I only wished I had known about this earlier. These beads have been a blessing to me and my family the first week I lost 12.8 lbs and followed up with 7 lbs. the following week today I have lost a total of 45 lbs. I look great I feel great I am being complimented all the time. I have to say that I read most of the comments on this board and was surprised by the negative feedback.

[with a NZ fax number]. Is there a NZ contact for these beads? In reading the comments on this site, it seems like the beads have worked for some and not for others. My suggestion is for those who have bought the beads and not received success in their refund maybe they might like to sell them to someone else to try. That way, the buyer can guarantee that they will get some of their money back. I received the flyer today in my mail box and the orders are made to Amsterdam!! [with a NZ fax number].

Are you using the real ones or the "homemade" beads? I just used plain old snaps stuck onto cut pieces of medical tape, but it made my ears irritated. I did loose 3.2# in a very short time though and I felt really energized, but my ears kept draining even though I changed them every day and used alcohol. I guess I'm just allergic. That's great you've lost weight without changing your eating habits. I think that's one thing that stalls people from loosing weight, having to change the way they eat. Or at least having to take away foods that they like. After a while, they stop the diet and go back to eating the foods they like. Maybe these accu beads are really the magic bullet we're all looking for. Keep posting and let us know if you reach your goal weight. Then I wonder do you just have to wear the beads one day a week? One day a month? To maintain the weight loss. good luck. Sandy, I’m very happy for you that they’re working. Are you using the real ones or the “homemade” beads?

Well, fortunately, after I ordered the bead containers, I called back and asked for a refund. He asked "Why?" and I said well I just saw 5,000 responses saying that it didn't work. He replied, "Well do you believe everything you read?!" Well "no, but when 5,000 say it doesn't work and like 5 say it does, then I do believe what I read, lol! Thanks everyone.

They look remarkably like the beads so I bought them and put one on the back of my ear. The package costs $2 for 60 beads, so I am happy to use them to experiment with. Looking at an acupressure chart, I think about a third of the way up on the cartilage part of the ear is the best place to put the pressure. I'll let you know if it works.

Now, I just got a new weight loss package in the mail selling "THE SIZE ZERO PATCH". I'm wondering if these are the same people selling the beads? It's a time release patch. They say you will be a size zero in days. It says 100% natural in one spot then in another it says:"Regular patches quickly release the drugs into your bloodstream producing a rapid and high concentration in the body, followed by a sharp decline. The Time-Release Patch maintains the perfect range in between; releasing at a constant rate over a period of time." Sounds like drugs to me. It also says NOW AVAILABLE IN THE USA. Why is the US letting all these schemers sell their phony stuff here? Next we'll be reading about people that have lost their lives from using these patches. They are even offering you $250 if you use it for 30 days and have lost 48 pounds. They are called The Healthy-Weight Centers of America, St. Petersburg, FL People that are overweight are bomb barded all the time with adds like these. I pray no one is that desperate.

After 7 days of wearing the "homemade snap bead" behind my right ear I had to just stop wearing it. My right ear is so irritated. Liquid just keeps seeping from my ear lobes. I have 3 pierced holes for earings on my earlobes. I have not worn any earings since putting the beads behind my ears though. I started with the left ear for 9 days, 9-8 to 9-17. I used medical tape and changed it everyother day because it was sticky and it did hurt sometimes. Then when I started on the right ear, 9-17 I used a non latex bandage that I cut to size. Well, I changed it everyday and used alcohol, but it still irritated my ear. So, after 7 days on my right ear, I'm calling it quits! I haven't been on the scale so I don't know if I've lost anymore weight or not. I've never been alergic to any kind of earings in the past, but maybe now the metal in the snap bead? I don't know. I'm only very thankful that I didn't pay out any money for them. I would like to know how any others have faired with the beads? Thanks. Rose Well, I am so glad I did not purchase the beads!

I weighed myself this morning and I lost 3.2# in 9 days. I must say I have had more energy and so I have been using my Tony Little Gazelle 20 minutes everyday, 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon. My eating hasn't changed, still eating healthy, I eat from the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid everyday. I found myself pressing the bead several times a day to stimulate it. Today I changed the bead from my left ear to my right ear for the next 9 days. We'll see what happens. So far, so good. Now 111 more pounds to go!

I made a "snap bead" with medical tape and put it behind my left ear about 20 minutes ago. Also thank you Heidi for all your research info. I'll change to my right ear in 9 days and of course also weigh myself. I'm also greatful for this site, <strong>thank you MotleyHealth</strong> for all the info. I have been doing Think and Lose for 2 months, (hypnosis) for weight loss and I have lost 10# in 2 months, eating very healthy and doing minimal exercise because I have very bad arthritis in both my knees and I need both knee replacements. I just thought speeding up my metabolism would be a great boost. I really wanted to try the Accu-trim beads but not for $136.90. So doing the homemade snap bead was a 'aha moment' !! Thank you all for the great comments on this sight. I'll be back in 9 days to let you know what results I have. I have 114 pounds more to shed to reach my goal weight.

I know and understand it's not easy being overweight or suffering from obesity. I was 275pds September 2008. I was with La weight loss! mind u that program was really good but it went bankrupt. So since September I have manage to loose weight on my own without anyone support but myself. I try and eat little portions. 5 to 6 times a day. and mostly I enjoy walking. It's not easy. Yes i do cheat a bit but if i am craving for some sweet I do eat a little not the whole thing. Mostly i eat fruits such has dates figs .... and not to mention my veggies... proteins fibers whole wheat.... I was stupid to buy that accutrim beads. I said to myself I will try it. U see how intriguing it can get to be lead on. Dear People I think basically most programs want to just to sell their product.

So yes, they are a waste of money. You are living proof that you do not need to wear the beads to lose weight. Well done on losing 95 pounds with diet/exercise.
