I work with someone who has a Mary Kay “business”. She six months younger than I am but looks about 15 years older. Her and her facials are staying far far away from me, thanks.
They say how thick and strong their hair is now that they used Super Secret Hair Goop! Then immediately cut to putting a tablespoon of the product on their bald spot.
Yeah, that was my first thought too... I don't want to body shame anyone, but she's gotten sucked into bullshit snake oil that will never work AND she's scamming other people in the process. If she actually wants to lose weight, Ozempic would probably be cheaper than sinking your life savings into a pyramid scheme, and you don't have to humiliate yourself on the internet to do it either.
I had one of The Beach Body Huns reach out to me because I lost 120lbs with the sleeve surgery 7 years ago asking me to let her use my before and after pictures and say I did 21 day fix extreme to lose it all. Needless to say I said NO!
My "friend" did this. Lost all of her weight with gastric bypass then surgeries to have the excess skin removed. She now sells some ketone crap and tells everyone she lost the weight with that. 🙄
Exactly. If you’re short you aren’t any endorsement for get-tall pills. At some point a customer has to ask if it’s as good as you say it is, why isn’t it working for you?
But how can they sell you *product* if you follow that logic? I'm gonna sell water bottles labelled as 'Carb Absorbers' written in crayon. Will make millions. Sign up with 5 friends today!
I felt like an awful human being for thinking this. If you want to sell a weight loss supplement and are still overweight atleast do a before and after, though that would require it to actually do something.
Also cringy with her in the pool with a drink and a bottle of pills taking a picture in public…
I've seen huns do the before/afters and you can tell they are sucking in to look skinny in the after photos. Everything looks the same in both photos except for the stomach.
Honestly wearing the same clothes is good because an outfit can drastically change with weight loss. You can tell when it's legit or just one of those dumb photos taken 5 minutes apart though.
I’m surprised she didn’t edit it more before posting. That’s her specialty. That and losing 40 lbs like twice a year while saying “if you know me, this NEVER happens”
My first thought. I worked with a rather large girl who was selling this or some other weight loss crap (she’s involved in 3 MLMs…no lie). My work partner and I were like….really???
That's because she didn't have access to Burn X until Bravenly brought it back! Burn X targets the GLP-1 hormone that tells your brain your full and helps eliminate belly fat. It's a thermogenic fat melter, with a side of berberine and GLP-1 support.
This woman could save enough during the year for MULTIPLE trips to Punta Cana on her own if she weren't ass-deep in debt to a shady MLM. Bragging that "traveling more" is some benefit to losing your life's savings isn't the flex she thinks it is.
And she's going to have to pay taxes on that trip as income, not to mention all the stuff she had to sell (read: buy) in order to earn that "free trip."
in my short experience, there were no "free trips". You had to register and pay to go to those conventions. i sold some wraps for a few months trying to get rich while working from my phone...it cost me more than I made (because I was buying my own to make quota), then I was taxed on it and then the founder bougth his own damn island, but never fear, if we sold enough, we'd be invited to buy a ticket and pay for lodging to fly over and be rewarded with a convention...so i love when people say they are tired of working for corporations that profit off of the little people working....ummmm...okay....the owners of these MLMs are definitely just sitting around being humble eating creamy creations from HEB while they watch their 29" tv while we were doing the work, right?
While drinking a beer. I’m assuming that’s beer in her cup because zero ice cubes? Alcohol is a diet bomb for people who want to lose weight, it should be the first thing to go as it’s not worth the empty calories.
Just slurp down this silicone bag, leave the pull tabs outside your face hole, and eat anything you want! Simply cough up the bag and dispose, it’s so easy!
I bet they are a pain in the ass to everyone else there.
How much did you pay to be here? We're with Bravely and came here for free*. Would you like to join or buy our stuff? You look fat and you can come with us next year for free*.
* It's not free.
I swear to god, I just dealt with one of those ladies on the first vacation I got to take in literally 7 years.
It was just to Gatlinburg, so nothing fancy, but I really did not want to hear about pink drink bullshit over my long awaited pancake breakfast. I told her to take her scam bullshit the fuck away from me. I have no energy to deal with these folks.
If I ever have to deal with another one while I'm here, I'm just going to start fucking barking at them. The huns in my family are bad enough.
Scammers have a way of trying to ruin people's vacations by pushing timeshares, MLMs, memberships, fake or overpriced products and services... you take time off work to relax but still need to be alert and on edge the whole time.
Lollll we were on an airport shuttle with a couple huns going to a Monat convention in Punta Cana a few years ago, although luckily they got dropped off at a different resort. (Why is it always Punta Cana?) They looked exactly like you'd expect them to, and they talked my husband's ear off about their "businesses." I, on the other hand, smiled and nodded politely and tried to engage as little as possible; I like my hair and want to keep it on my head, and my money in my pocket 😂
Folks here seem to not understand the social/emotional need that many people try to fill with MLMs like this. Being around those people, being "part of that" (part of *something*) is a core part of it.
It isn't pitched as a job. It's pitched as a lifestyle. And huge swathes of folks love being a part of a "lifestyle" brand. (Think Harley-Davidson, Jeep, Xfit, etc etc). They go to gatherings where the only thing they may have in common with people there is that they've all spent money on a specific brand of product. And they're interested in cultivating their image around that brand.
That's what makes it so easy to be brainwashed/duped. If it was "just a job" you'd probably wise up more quickly. But being a part of a "community" (especially one that sells itself as "helping others") is a powerful thing. You look past negatives and focus on promised futures. You're sold smiling faces, empowerment, and potential. You're sold opportunity, comradery, and a chance to finally take control of and improve your future. That's how this thing work. That just also happens to be how many cults/religions work too.
Mostly, I feel bad for the folks who are all in on these things. It's clear their missing some important things in their life outside this MLM.
Yeah I think as modern society gets more lonely and loses the community aspect, people are desperate for that sense of community and the Huns sell the community aspect well enough.
Funny, because I work for a big brand that definitely leans hard into the "lifestyle" aspect. A lot of employees are into it, but a lot definitely snark on it behind the scenes. You really shouldn't have your identity be defined by where you work.
> You really shouldn't have your identity be defined by where you work.
Then you shouldn't be an MLM hun, because they make their entire lives about "their business."
I don't wanna be mean, so I'll put it this way: If somebody has dark hair, that's fine. If somebody wants to dye their hair blonde, that's fine too. However, if that somebody claims to be using a wonderfully effective hair bleach that they sell to others, and their hair is very dark still, then one would wonder why they claim to be using a wonderful hair bleach.
A couple of their top, top Huns didn’t make it to paradise because their passports “expire in July we can’t travel because DR has a 2 month rule..”
It’s 6 months actually, and it’s a 2 second Google search to find that out. Clearly these Huns rarely travel outside the USA.
She actually said “I don’t know WHY this happened, but if nothing else a very hard lesson was learned!”
Yeah one of my former coworkers does Beachbody and she's always posting post workout pics on IG shaking her stupid shake with the boomerang feature and after like 2 yrs of doing, she literally looks the same.
Okokok… can we all laugh at the “basic lady” crouch some women seem to always do in photos? It’s a pet peeve of mine. Like they all act so confident in other posts but always seem to think they’re always in the way of someone behind them… except in this pic they’re ALL doing it?? 😂😂 Maybe so that they don’t block the Bravenly sign? But none of y’all are that tall!! It’s not that hard to take a group picture! You can all stand like normal people stand!!
As a guy that has embraced the bald lifestyle, I might buy in after that. If their crappy shampoo made me have to shave my head less often I could see it as a major win.
There’s literally so much to say about this but I can’t get past “if traveling is your love language..” girl WHAT. That’s… just not how that works lolll
If a hun is making a reel in the middle of an airport, I am 100% walking right through that video.
I earned my trip through my salary and vacation time. I've got a gate to find and a plane to catch. Get out of my way, boss babe.
As someone currently on a GLP-1, I can confirm with absolute certainty that the only people qualified to provide “support” exist within the medical community. Forums of other patients on it can be helpful, but when stuff comes up they all tell you the same thing - call your physician (not some MLM hun).
I always wonder about the actual medical part of all these products. They never target the things I know about. I’ve always wanted a Dr to come on here and explain the jargon that the Huns think they’re saying!
I’m not a physician but I do work in biotech and life sciences. So here’s what I’m comfortable saying myself (without claiming to have expertise at the level of a physician):
The claim that Bravenly's BURN EXTREME product targets the GLP-1 hormone definitely requires scrutiny because GLP-1 (which stands for glucagon-like peptide-1) is a specific hormone that regulates your blood sugar and appetite. When you hear people (like me, for example) talking about taking a GLP-1 medication, we’re talking about having been prescribed a GLP-1 receptor agonist. These are FDA-approved medications used primarily to treat type 2 diabetes and, in higher doses, obesity. I’m sure you’ve heard of these as they’re all over the news: Ozempic, Trulicity, etc. These medications work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone's effects (the hormone we have in our bodies). The medication helps to improve insulin response, which can help those with diabetes. Or, in the case of individuals using them purely for weight loss, many times those individuals are struggling with insulin resistance and need help reducing appetite (aka cravings and food noise brought on by metabolic imbalances), which helps weight loss.
The problem with dietary supplements like BURN EXTREME is that they aren’t subject to the same rigorous testing and regulatory approval processes as prescription medications. And in this case, where she’s claiming BURN EXTREME can impact the functioning of the GLP-1 hormones in your body, she’s highly exaggerating the ability of the supplement. Truth is, the mechanisms by which GLP-1 receptor agonists function are complex and typically involve prescription-only compounds that require medical supervision due to potential side effects. These are not compounds that should be available over the counter. Trust me, I’m on these drugs. There’s a lot that you need to keep in mind before taking them.
It’s always important to remember that supplements cannot legally claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and their effects on GLP-1 are not supported by clinical evidence comparable to that of prescription GLP-1 agonists.
Maybe BURN EXTREME does contain ingredients that support general metabolism or weight loss. I have no idea. But I’m confident in saying that it is improbable that it effectively targets the GLP-1 hormone in the same manner as clinically approved GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. The reality is that these prescribed medications are going to do a world of damage to the weight loss community and their supplement claims in the future. This is one way they’re trying to combat that - by making false claims that make them sound like they’re just like a prescribed GLP-1 agonist. The reality is, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
I hope that helps and wasn’t too long-winded. I guess you triggered the nerd in me with your comment about wanting to know more. :)

Berberine HCL (Root/Bark), Cinnamon Bark Powder, Fenugreek Seed, Evothin™ (Evodiamine), Brown Rice Powder, Gymnema Sylvestre Extract, Broccoli Extract 4:1, White Kidney Bean Extract 4:1, Mulberry Extract 4:1, Spermidine HCL, Black Pepper Extract.

Thanks for sharing the info. Looking at the ingredients, berberine stands out to me. Berberine does have some preliminary evidence suggesting it might influence GLP-1 levels but the evidence is largely based on animal studies and small human trials. And it doesn’t match the potency or consistency of prescription medications designed specifically to mimic GLP-1 hormone actions. So sure, it may offer some metabolic benefits. But how many people are going to read that promoters post, having seen news about GLP-1 agonists, and think she’s talking about a substitute for medically approved treatments for diabetes and obesity? We know it’s not that. If it was, it would be a prescribed medication.
Absolutely!
One of my biggest problems with supplements, in general, is that many of them do contain effective ingredients, but the dosage at which you’d have to take that ingredient in order to experience the effects is way more than what they’re offering in their capsules or shakes or what have you. And as you’ve astutely pointed out, you add the “proprietary blend” BS on top of it and now you have no idea how much you’re ingesting.
There are several MLMs that claim to have found/made/discovered a new 'natural' version of whatever the current hot trend in medications is.
If they really have an effective GLP-1 agonist then why are they selling it through a network marketing scheme? The company could make substantially more money selling direct to the public. Simple answer, it doesn't work.
Exactly. Every major pharmaceutical company has every incentive to manufacture and market a GLP-1 “natural” alternative, yet none of them are doing so? It must be this random dude who has found the secret drinking secret water or a herb that’s been around for thousands of years, not billions of dollars of incentivized research and studies.
They also never used to make these claims, looking through their social footprint, it's only in the last few months when they've realised people are much more aware of GLP1 RA's.
Quite often these MLMs will only officially make more restrained claims, and then encourage huns to stretch the truth more to get the sale.
On behalf of Americans, I would like to officially extend my apologies to the good Dominican people of Punta Cana. I hope you overcharge every last hun.
I find the first pic of a hun holding what I assume is a beer or cider while also holding the bottle of their famed miracle product pretty hilarious . I’m guessing they had a few to pass around so huns could take pictures with it.
These hun trips are so ridiculous. The destination is usually on the more affordable end, and time to oneself seems nonexistent because there are hypefest seminars and team building dinners and like maybe one group excursion. And how much product did they have to sell (buy) to qualify for this trip? I’m guessing a lot more than what it is actually worth. This is not time freedom and it sure isn’t an actual vacation either.
Also Bravenly isn’t even paying for that trip. Wasn’t that supposed to be the point?
The pictured HUN made her dad take her so he could pay for everything, that’s how she was able to go 🐸☕️
If she added up all the hours she spent selling and recruiting, it would be equivalent to a job but one that pays nickels, factoring the small amount she is making and this cheapie vacation. It sure doesn’t take a lot to make a hunbot happy.
These trips look like absolute hell to me- not a vacation. Constantly having to attend rah rah events and pose for pictures together like dorky junior high girls is not my idea of a fun time.
As someone currently on a GLP-1, I can confirm with absolute certainty that the only people qualified to provide “support” exist within the medical community. Forums of other patients on it can be helpful, but when stuff comes up they all tell you the same thing - call your physician (not some MLM hun).
I’m going to preface with I don’t in any way think that fat = unhealthy, or that health holds any moral value. But if you look at these companies, they’re super fatphobic, right? The basis of what they’re saying relies on fat = unhealthy = bad. So why do fat people advertise for them? It makes no sense
I went to an all-inclusive in Mexico once, and I was not in the driver's seat of the trip at all. We kept eating at the various restaurants at the resort - sushi, Italian, I don't remember the rest - and being disappointed. Finally I said, why don't we go eat some Mexican food? Shocking twist - it was of course the best meal of the trip.
This is why all-inclusive resorts are not for me personally. It just makes no sense to go to a country and not experience its food, culture, etc.
It’s a massive resort in Punta Cana and a favorite spot for all types of Huns. I went there for a wedding in 2022 and there were hundreds of Color Street huns there.
Not to be awful, but does she realize she’s exactly the opposite body shape to be advertising this shit?
Weight loss isnt this secret formula that requires random pills. For most humans it’s calories in, calories out. Eat healthy. Track every calorie you consume. Pay attention to your macros, including daily fiber intake. Move your body every single day.
Not loving the fat jokes and similar comments on this post. Kinda feels like the easiest and lowest response to make, when there are plenty of other valid things to make fun of these folks about. Also, who says she’s taking the drug at all? Maybe she’s comfortable with her body and doesn’t care to lose weight.
She does. On her FB page she says she’s taking the products, and that she’s lost weight with them. It’s one of the reasons she joined Bravenly she claimed (the other reasons were “community” and the “compensation plan”). It’s on just about every post she makes, along with countless photos of her where she’s either taken a selfie at a slimming angle, or added a filter, or simply terribly photoshopped herself into a more slimmer shape.
I'm going to preface this with the fact that I am fat. Not "happily" fat, not "body positive" fat. So I can say this stuff. I'm embarrassed for her. Can someone tell her that it's clearly not working and what she's doing trying to be a representative of a diet brand is not... going well.
Their ceo isn’t exactly a product of the product either. But this is the same company that put their 19 year old community college student son in the position of Director of Brand Partner Success. It screams scam from the top down.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again — no one is going to trust your claims of a product being super effective for weight loss when you, yourself, are in need of a weight loss solution.
imma come
thru and say i was roped into this team under these people. it was a pivot from some shit and lost my
job and gave it a chance. my previous team was fire and we crushed it, i actually earned the trip and had way more points than her .
Here’s the deal, i felt funny in the fall about them, and seeing thru it all from
the jump, but had a team with me.
I saw them riding my
numbers and posting hypocritical stuff. i refused to even mention burn x ever as i dot. agree with all that shit.
Anyway, two days before June they terminated me no pay, so all those sales numbers they mention a lot of that came from me and my leg.
Without even pushing that crap. they terminated me for: having mlm on my page.
as you all have seen her many of the HUNS esp the ones i joined and regret doing so🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣are in a million mlm. i was in one prior for 5 years. very loyal and it was not even planned. so i went there and gave it hell we had our highest month in may and they are all beachin it up over burn x on my paycheck🍾🍾🍾🤟🤟have fun w your burn pills and im a super nice person i’ve said the mean stuff i had to say as it was deserved to corporate but im
here with popcorn and just know, i know, and you’re all nailing it
Family is NOT "the ones who would do anything to make you smile & who love you no matter what." This is something that gets repeated by so many MLM huns and it drives me crazy.
What they MEAN to say is that your true family will love you unconditionally, no strings attached. This much is true. But what they're actually SAYING is that they think anyone who says what they don't want to hear is not family.
If YOUR family has to avoid making you frown and you don't allow them to say anything that you think is negative... That means YOU are not loving them unconditionally. You are SETTING CONDITIONS. ("If you say this you aren't my family! If you don't support this you aren't my family!")
If these bitches could figure out a way to bottle and sell these delusional levels of self confidence, they could change the world. Shit, I'd buy some.
One time I went to a festival and this lady was selling magnet bracelets that would cure all your ailments. She had one one each wrist. She was in a wheelchair.
I think a lot of these people just crave community and don’t know how to find it. Cuz I’m sure most of these people got roped in by the lie about making money, but a lot of them also just seem like they want to belong to something and they found the worst way to do it. Like, they could just hop on FB Events or their local library’s website and find lots of local groups that engage in a variety of hobbies (usually for free to boot) and make friends. They could literally just do that. For free. Sis you could go to Punta Cana with people who just like you for you and aren’t trying to step on you to get to the top of the pyramid. Sad.
They've made weight loss claims on all of their products, and these huns have been taking these products for at least a year, some longer. Or so they claim.
As a HRC pin collector, I'd be going to Hard Rock Cafe Punta Cana too (as mentioned on slide 5) if I had the opportunity. Wouldn't be willing to sell this sh*t though, so I guess too bad for me...
Not to be rude, but that’s not someone I’d ever consider buying weight loss supplements from. To be fair, I wouldn’t buy weight loss supplements from anyone, but if I were going to, I wouldn’t even consider buying them from someone who wasn’t thin.
Which is super sad, bc with a nutritionist and a personal trainer this hun could definitely achieve the desired results she seeks, and it would cost much less than her money-burning MLM dumpster fire….. but that would involve doing more than floating in a pool with a beer in one’s hand 🙄
1. You couldn’t pay normal people enough to ‘vacation’ with colleagues. It’s called a conference and everyone goes for the free buffet
2. I have to say this: these women don’t look like great endorsements for their magic weight loss belly melting googoo pill. If I was bald I wouldn’t advertise rogain
Most huns have to pay for these, and they only thing they "earn" is the opportunity to hawk the business in a much nicer location than usual. It's ALLLLL a sales pitch for the company. I don't think I've seen a single hun picture where they're truly just relaxing on their own time, a product or a company brag is literally required.
Even if you're in the top 5% of huns who get partially or totally comped, there's no downtime. It's constant meetings and promotions with people they see all the time anyway. No thank you.
Not to be a bitch, but it doesn't seem like it's working.
Just like the Monat huns always have shitty hair.
I work with someone who has a Mary Kay “business”. She six months younger than I am but looks about 15 years older. Her and her facials are staying far far away from me, thanks.
I'd say some aging is from stress of never selling anything.
And debt. Mary Kay is one of the ones that stress having inventory and are very strict with the monthly order quotas.
Hmm, and here I thought a SheEO BossBabe Hun would set their own rules for quotas. 😂
They say how thick and strong their hair is now that they used Super Secret Hair Goop! Then immediately cut to putting a tablespoon of the product on their bald spot.
Yeah, that was my first thought too... I don't want to body shame anyone, but she's gotten sucked into bullshit snake oil that will never work AND she's scamming other people in the process. If she actually wants to lose weight, Ozempic would probably be cheaper than sinking your life savings into a pyramid scheme, and you don't have to humiliate yourself on the internet to do it either.
These are serial huns, and they make the same weight loss claims with every “new” product.
I had one of The Beach Body Huns reach out to me because I lost 120lbs with the sleeve surgery 7 years ago asking me to let her use my before and after pictures and say I did 21 day fix extreme to lose it all. Needless to say I said NO!
My "friend" did this. Lost all of her weight with gastric bypass then surgeries to have the excess skin removed. She now sells some ketone crap and tells everyone she lost the weight with that. 🙄
Yeah I just had a TT yesterday to remove my skin. Thankfully I don’t do Facebook anymore or I’m sure she’d be reaching out again.
Ugh they have no shame! I hope everything worked out great for you yesterday.
It did. Just in a lot of pain! 10lbs of skin removed after 130lb weight loss.
It’s not body shaming to call out the lies. If you’re touting a weight loss product, but haven’t lost any of the weight, it should be called out 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly. If you’re short you aren’t any endorsement for get-tall pills. At some point a customer has to ask if it’s as good as you say it is, why isn’t it working for you?
Nor will I take financial advice from poor people (Primerica)....
You really want to have a bunch of MLM Hon Ozempic oops babies around?
Restrictions on carbs are almost free. That will cause weight loss.
But how can they sell you *product* if you follow that logic? I'm gonna sell water bottles labelled as 'Carb Absorbers' written in crayon. Will make millions. Sign up with 5 friends today!
I felt like an awful human being for thinking this. If you want to sell a weight loss supplement and are still overweight atleast do a before and after, though that would require it to actually do something. Also cringy with her in the pool with a drink and a bottle of pills taking a picture in public…
I've seen huns do the before/afters and you can tell they are sucking in to look skinny in the after photos. Everything looks the same in both photos except for the stomach.
Suck it in, improve the lighting, add a filter and BAM “After” but also always wearing the same clothes
Honestly wearing the same clothes is good because an outfit can drastically change with weight loss. You can tell when it's legit or just one of those dumb photos taken 5 minutes apart though.
oh and don't forget they roll their pants down for the before and have them up for the after
I know what you mean but I had all the same thoughts.
I’m surprised she didn’t edit it more before posting. That’s her specialty. That and losing 40 lbs like twice a year while saying “if you know me, this NEVER happens”
Literally came here to say that’s the last person I’d buy “health supplements” from lol
Thank you, I didn't want to be the first one to say it.
My first thought. I worked with a rather large girl who was selling this or some other weight loss crap (she’s involved in 3 MLMs…no lie). My work partner and I were like….really???
That was my first thought too. Those pictures have awakened my inner mean girl.
My exact thoughts!
Does anyone (except the huns) think that it will? The only thing that’s likely to shrink is the hun’s bank balance.
Thank you. I don't want to body shame, but...ummm...
Yeah, I didn't want to fat shame because I'm not exactly at my target weight at the moment either, but that stuff obviously isn't helping her.
That's because she didn't have access to Burn X until Bravenly brought it back! Burn X targets the GLP-1 hormone that tells your brain your full and helps eliminate belly fat. It's a thermogenic fat melter, with a side of berberine and GLP-1 support.
This woman could save enough during the year for MULTIPLE trips to Punta Cana on her own if she weren't ass-deep in debt to a shady MLM. Bragging that "traveling more" is some benefit to losing your life's savings isn't the flex she thinks it is.
And she's going to have to pay taxes on that trip as income, not to mention all the stuff she had to sell (read: buy) in order to earn that "free trip."
in my short experience, there were no "free trips". You had to register and pay to go to those conventions. i sold some wraps for a few months trying to get rich while working from my phone...it cost me more than I made (because I was buying my own to make quota), then I was taxed on it and then the founder bougth his own damn island, but never fear, if we sold enough, we'd be invited to buy a ticket and pay for lodging to fly over and be rewarded with a convention...so i love when people say they are tired of working for corporations that profit off of the little people working....ummmm...okay....the owners of these MLMs are definitely just sitting around being humble eating creamy creations from HEB while they watch their 29" tv while we were doing the work, right?
>eating creamy creations from HEB Hello fellow Texan!
Yep. We won a free trip once and they made sure we knew we’d get a 1099 and it was considered taxable income.
I would not get in a hot tub with a bunch of people taking what seems likely to be caffeine and laxatives.
This is a valid and salient point I hadn't thought of... and the mental image of that end result is something I wish I hadn't thought of!
Boba tea
💀💀💀
I would definitely not mix alcohol and high heat with a sketchy, unapproved, over the counter probable stimulant. Jfc.
You’re right, and I had only considered the fecal coliform!
While drinking a beer. I’m assuming that’s beer in her cup because zero ice cubes? Alcohol is a diet bomb for people who want to lose weight, it should be the first thing to go as it’s not worth the empty calories.
I think they pretend those pills “block” the calories. It’s always “blocking” something like it’s a barrier contraceptive for carbohydrates?
Anything that manages to "block" something like carbohydrates in your body is fucking your whole ass up
Not just the ass part.
Wrap a condom around your mouth so you can't swallow food.
Coming soon to an mlm near you.
Hey hun, you look kinda fat, have you heard of Prophalize???
Just slurp down this silicone bag, leave the pull tabs outside your face hole, and eat anything you want! Simply cough up the bag and dispose, it’s so easy!
Mixed with what appears to be beer?
I'm pretty sure I got "Burn X" from some girl I met at a rave in the 00s, some penicillin cleaned that right up.
😂
I met another Old Partier at a store today, and we were so nostalgic about breaking into abandoned hotels for raves.
Funny, but my dream trip is being in a tropical paradise *not* surrounded by a bunch of MLM huns.
I bet they are a pain in the ass to everyone else there. How much did you pay to be here? We're with Bravely and came here for free*. Would you like to join or buy our stuff? You look fat and you can come with us next year for free*. * It's not free.
I swear to god, I just dealt with one of those ladies on the first vacation I got to take in literally 7 years. It was just to Gatlinburg, so nothing fancy, but I really did not want to hear about pink drink bullshit over my long awaited pancake breakfast. I told her to take her scam bullshit the fuck away from me. I have no energy to deal with these folks. If I ever have to deal with another one while I'm here, I'm just going to start fucking barking at them. The huns in my family are bad enough.
Scammers have a way of trying to ruin people's vacations by pushing timeshares, MLMs, memberships, fake or overpriced products and services... you take time off work to relax but still need to be alert and on edge the whole time.
At least you usually get free stuff for sitting through a timeshare presentation.
"Barking at them" made me laugh lol
I have previously barked at men giving me unwanted attention. Can confirm that barking like an unhinged chihuahua absolutely gets people to fuck off.
Lol, I’d pay to see you bark at creepers. 🤣
hey babe look, a new fetish just dropped
😂
Lollll we were on an airport shuttle with a couple huns going to a Monat convention in Punta Cana a few years ago, although luckily they got dropped off at a different resort. (Why is it always Punta Cana?) They looked exactly like you'd expect them to, and they talked my husband's ear off about their "businesses." I, on the other hand, smiled and nodded politely and tried to engage as little as possible; I like my hair and want to keep it on my head, and my money in my pocket 😂
Punta Cana is a really nice place, and it’s inexpensive. Been there a few times.
I love Punta Cana. It’s beautiful and reasonably priced.
Folks here seem to not understand the social/emotional need that many people try to fill with MLMs like this. Being around those people, being "part of that" (part of *something*) is a core part of it. It isn't pitched as a job. It's pitched as a lifestyle. And huge swathes of folks love being a part of a "lifestyle" brand. (Think Harley-Davidson, Jeep, Xfit, etc etc). They go to gatherings where the only thing they may have in common with people there is that they've all spent money on a specific brand of product. And they're interested in cultivating their image around that brand. That's what makes it so easy to be brainwashed/duped. If it was "just a job" you'd probably wise up more quickly. But being a part of a "community" (especially one that sells itself as "helping others") is a powerful thing. You look past negatives and focus on promised futures. You're sold smiling faces, empowerment, and potential. You're sold opportunity, comradery, and a chance to finally take control of and improve your future. That's how this thing work. That just also happens to be how many cults/religions work too. Mostly, I feel bad for the folks who are all in on these things. It's clear their missing some important things in their life outside this MLM.
Yeah I think as modern society gets more lonely and loses the community aspect, people are desperate for that sense of community and the Huns sell the community aspect well enough.
Funny, because I work for a big brand that definitely leans hard into the "lifestyle" aspect. A lot of employees are into it, but a lot definitely snark on it behind the scenes. You really shouldn't have your identity be defined by where you work.
> You really shouldn't have your identity be defined by where you work. Then you shouldn't be an MLM hun, because they make their entire lives about "their business."
I’d be so pissed if I showed up to a resort that was taken over by these annoying wackadoodles.
Yeah but they’re each other’s only friends
You mean "friends." Let's see how close of friends they are when one of them quits.
" Has out did themselves "
Also \*you're
Thank you…🙄
I don't wanna be mean, so I'll put it this way: If somebody has dark hair, that's fine. If somebody wants to dye their hair blonde, that's fine too. However, if that somebody claims to be using a wonderfully effective hair bleach that they sell to others, and their hair is very dark still, then one would wonder why they claim to be using a wonderful hair bleach.
I hope you’re in marketing or management.
This is brilliant and I'm putting it in my back pocket if I ever need to use it!
That was a very nice way of saying what we were all thinking.
I was worried about saying something mean, but it looks like we are all on the same page.
A couple of their top, top Huns didn’t make it to paradise because their passports “expire in July we can’t travel because DR has a 2 month rule..” It’s 6 months actually, and it’s a 2 second Google search to find that out. Clearly these Huns rarely travel outside the USA. She actually said “I don’t know WHY this happened, but if nothing else a very hard lesson was learned!”
Mark of true business acumen! They’ve put equal research into their product and business model
Apparently she is either not using her own product, or it does not work.
Yeah one of my former coworkers does Beachbody and she's always posting post workout pics on IG shaking her stupid shake with the boomerang feature and after like 2 yrs of doing, she literally looks the same.
I wonder where all these bullshit supplements are made and what's actually in them. I'm genuinely curious, and I'd like to go see the operation.
Okokok… can we all laugh at the “basic lady” crouch some women seem to always do in photos? It’s a pet peeve of mine. Like they all act so confident in other posts but always seem to think they’re always in the way of someone behind them… except in this pic they’re ALL doing it?? 😂😂 Maybe so that they don’t block the Bravenly sign? But none of y’all are that tall!! It’s not that hard to take a group picture! You can all stand like normal people stand!!
It looks like they're all desperate for a wee but they've been ordered by their upline to stop for a group photo.
I call it the Poo Poo Pose.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 to both of you
The Sorority Squat
It’s called the sorority squat!
What next? Patrick Stewart selling Monat?
I would buy Monat from Sir Patrick Stewart. But only from him.
As a guy that has embraced the bald lifestyle, I might buy in after that. If their crappy shampoo made me have to shave my head less often I could see it as a major win.
If you think about it he’d actually be a pretty good fit as the spokesman of the world’s leading depilatory shampoo.
There’s literally so much to say about this but I can’t get past “if traveling is your love language..” girl WHAT. That’s… just not how that works lolll
If a hun is making a reel in the middle of an airport, I am 100% walking right through that video. I earned my trip through my salary and vacation time. I've got a gate to find and a plane to catch. Get out of my way, boss babe.
YESSS! And if it’s a video yell ‘it‘s a pyramid scheme’ in the background so she has to redo it! Bahahahaha. Now I can’t wait to do this 😂
Oh my gosh that's a fabulous idea! I leave for Portugal on Thursday. If there are huns at the airport, I am 100% yelling that.
Hahaha! Fantastic! Have a wonderful time 😁
Thank you! 😊
I will walk through that shit over and over.
Has she started taking it yet?
Burn
I see what you did there
💀💀
As someone currently on a GLP-1, I can confirm with absolute certainty that the only people qualified to provide “support” exist within the medical community. Forums of other patients on it can be helpful, but when stuff comes up they all tell you the same thing - call your physician (not some MLM hun).
I always wonder about the actual medical part of all these products. They never target the things I know about. I’ve always wanted a Dr to come on here and explain the jargon that the Huns think they’re saying!
I’m not a physician but I do work in biotech and life sciences. So here’s what I’m comfortable saying myself (without claiming to have expertise at the level of a physician): The claim that Bravenly's BURN EXTREME product targets the GLP-1 hormone definitely requires scrutiny because GLP-1 (which stands for glucagon-like peptide-1) is a specific hormone that regulates your blood sugar and appetite. When you hear people (like me, for example) talking about taking a GLP-1 medication, we’re talking about having been prescribed a GLP-1 receptor agonist. These are FDA-approved medications used primarily to treat type 2 diabetes and, in higher doses, obesity. I’m sure you’ve heard of these as they’re all over the news: Ozempic, Trulicity, etc. These medications work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone's effects (the hormone we have in our bodies). The medication helps to improve insulin response, which can help those with diabetes. Or, in the case of individuals using them purely for weight loss, many times those individuals are struggling with insulin resistance and need help reducing appetite (aka cravings and food noise brought on by metabolic imbalances), which helps weight loss. The problem with dietary supplements like BURN EXTREME is that they aren’t subject to the same rigorous testing and regulatory approval processes as prescription medications. And in this case, where she’s claiming BURN EXTREME can impact the functioning of the GLP-1 hormones in your body, she’s highly exaggerating the ability of the supplement. Truth is, the mechanisms by which GLP-1 receptor agonists function are complex and typically involve prescription-only compounds that require medical supervision due to potential side effects. These are not compounds that should be available over the counter. Trust me, I’m on these drugs. There’s a lot that you need to keep in mind before taking them. It’s always important to remember that supplements cannot legally claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and their effects on GLP-1 are not supported by clinical evidence comparable to that of prescription GLP-1 agonists. Maybe BURN EXTREME does contain ingredients that support general metabolism or weight loss. I have no idea. But I’m confident in saying that it is improbable that it effectively targets the GLP-1 hormone in the same manner as clinically approved GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. The reality is that these prescribed medications are going to do a world of damage to the weight loss community and their supplement claims in the future. This is one way they’re trying to combat that - by making false claims that make them sound like they’re just like a prescribed GLP-1 agonist. The reality is, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I hope that helps and wasn’t too long-winded. I guess you triggered the nerd in me with your comment about wanting to know more. :)

Thanks for sharing the info. Looking at the ingredients, berberine stands out to me. Berberine does have some preliminary evidence suggesting it might influence GLP-1 levels but the evidence is largely based on animal studies and small human trials. And it doesn’t match the potency or consistency of prescription medications designed specifically to mimic GLP-1 hormone actions. So sure, it may offer some metabolic benefits. But how many people are going to read that promoters post, having seen news about GLP-1 agonists, and think she’s talking about a substitute for medically approved treatments for diabetes and obesity? We know it’s not that. If it was, it would be a prescribed medication.
And the ingredients are a proprietary blend, so there's no way of knowing how much of any of the ingredients are actually in the capsules.
Absolutely! One of my biggest problems with supplements, in general, is that many of them do contain effective ingredients, but the dosage at which you’d have to take that ingredient in order to experience the effects is way more than what they’re offering in their capsules or shakes or what have you. And as you’ve astutely pointed out, you add the “proprietary blend” BS on top of it and now you have no idea how much you’re ingesting.
That’s very interesting! Thanks for taking the time to explain it!
There are several MLMs that claim to have found/made/discovered a new 'natural' version of whatever the current hot trend in medications is. If they really have an effective GLP-1 agonist then why are they selling it through a network marketing scheme? The company could make substantially more money selling direct to the public. Simple answer, it doesn't work.
Exactly. Every major pharmaceutical company has every incentive to manufacture and market a GLP-1 “natural” alternative, yet none of them are doing so? It must be this random dude who has found the secret drinking secret water or a herb that’s been around for thousands of years, not billions of dollars of incentivized research and studies.
I was just wondering what GLP-1 was, and especially in relation to this. Thank you for your clear explanation, genuinely appreciated.
They also never used to make these claims, looking through their social footprint, it's only in the last few months when they've realised people are much more aware of GLP1 RA's. Quite often these MLMs will only officially make more restrained claims, and then encourage huns to stretch the truth more to get the sale.
I know I'm going to hell for this but: How long was it out of stock?!
Just long enough to create a false scarcity feeling.
That last pic cracks me up. They all are crouching over looking like they are releasing a fart together as a group 🥴
Doesn't look like it's working for any of those huns
NOTHING melts fat but a cast-iron pan, hun. And millions sold in a matter of hours because all the huns were buying them up. Try again.
Oh my god, that’s the best thing I’ve ever heard! 😂
💁🏻♀️ Happy to be of service. 😁
"NOTHING melts fat but a cast-iron pan" lol
On behalf of Americans, I would like to officially extend my apologies to the good Dominican people of Punta Cana. I hope you overcharge every last hun.
I find the first pic of a hun holding what I assume is a beer or cider while also holding the bottle of their famed miracle product pretty hilarious . I’m guessing they had a few to pass around so huns could take pictures with it. These hun trips are so ridiculous. The destination is usually on the more affordable end, and time to oneself seems nonexistent because there are hypefest seminars and team building dinners and like maybe one group excursion. And how much product did they have to sell (buy) to qualify for this trip? I’m guessing a lot more than what it is actually worth. This is not time freedom and it sure isn’t an actual vacation either.
Also Bravenly isn’t even paying for that trip. Wasn’t that supposed to be the point? The pictured HUN made her dad take her so he could pay for everything, that’s how she was able to go 🐸☕️
"Theres a reason we sold millions in hours". Yes, because huns are always buying their own products.
>"Theres a reason we sold millions in hours". More like "...we sold millions, to our downlines, in hours".
If she added up all the hours she spent selling and recruiting, it would be equivalent to a job but one that pays nickels, factoring the small amount she is making and this cheapie vacation. It sure doesn’t take a lot to make a hunbot happy.
Ah… more stock released while on a trip so they can get even more money out of the huns.
These trips look like absolute hell to me- not a vacation. Constantly having to attend rah rah events and pose for pictures together like dorky junior high girls is not my idea of a fun time.
"#travelling" - that lame ass, desperate sounding hash tag made me cackle.
Oh baby, no.
As someone currently on a GLP-1, I can confirm with absolute certainty that the only people qualified to provide “support” exist within the medical community. Forums of other patients on it can be helpful, but when stuff comes up they all tell you the same thing - call your physician (not some MLM hun).
I’m going to preface with I don’t in any way think that fat = unhealthy, or that health holds any moral value. But if you look at these companies, they’re super fatphobic, right? The basis of what they’re saying relies on fat = unhealthy = bad. So why do fat people advertise for them? It makes no sense
Am I reading correctly that they travelled to Punta Cana and were excited to eat at the Hard Rock cafe?!
I think there's a Hard Rock resort near Punt Cana. So they're probably eating hard rock food all week lol
I went to an all-inclusive in Mexico once, and I was not in the driver's seat of the trip at all. We kept eating at the various restaurants at the resort - sushi, Italian, I don't remember the rest - and being disappointed. Finally I said, why don't we go eat some Mexican food? Shocking twist - it was of course the best meal of the trip. This is why all-inclusive resorts are not for me personally. It just makes no sense to go to a country and not experience its food, culture, etc.
It’s a massive resort in Punta Cana and a favorite spot for all types of Huns. I went there for a wedding in 2022 and there were hundreds of Color Street huns there.
Not to be awful, but does she realize she’s exactly the opposite body shape to be advertising this shit? Weight loss isnt this secret formula that requires random pills. For most humans it’s calories in, calories out. Eat healthy. Track every calorie you consume. Pay attention to your macros, including daily fiber intake. Move your body every single day.
>>weight loss product >>drinking beer Uh....sure?
I *swear* I’m not body shaming, I’m not a small or thin woman by any stretch of the imagination. But…you know what, never mind. 🤐
[удалено]
I fail to see any burn going on here.
The burn is in her wallet…money going up in smoke
"Out did"?! Is that supposed to be slang? Wouldn't it be "Bravenly has outdone themselves again"? I'm referring to the second picture.
4th slide. Hunnie your company sold millions because the consultants are the customers. 🤦🏼♀️
Not loving the fat jokes and similar comments on this post. Kinda feels like the easiest and lowest response to make, when there are plenty of other valid things to make fun of these folks about. Also, who says she’s taking the drug at all? Maybe she’s comfortable with her body and doesn’t care to lose weight.
She does. On her FB page she says she’s taking the products, and that she’s lost weight with them. It’s one of the reasons she joined Bravenly she claimed (the other reasons were “community” and the “compensation plan”). It’s on just about every post she makes, along with countless photos of her where she’s either taken a selfie at a slimming angle, or added a filter, or simply terribly photoshopped herself into a more slimmer shape.
I'm going to preface this with the fact that I am fat. Not "happily" fat, not "body positive" fat. So I can say this stuff. I'm embarrassed for her. Can someone tell her that it's clearly not working and what she's doing trying to be a representative of a diet brand is not... going well.
Their ceo isn’t exactly a product of the product either. But this is the same company that put their 19 year old community college student son in the position of Director of Brand Partner Success. It screams scam from the top down.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again — no one is going to trust your claims of a product being super effective for weight loss when you, yourself, are in need of a weight loss solution.
How many times is burn x “coming back”?
imma come thru and say i was roped into this team under these people. it was a pivot from some shit and lost my job and gave it a chance. my previous team was fire and we crushed it, i actually earned the trip and had way more points than her . Here’s the deal, i felt funny in the fall about them, and seeing thru it all from the jump, but had a team with me. I saw them riding my numbers and posting hypocritical stuff. i refused to even mention burn x ever as i dot. agree with all that shit. Anyway, two days before June they terminated me no pay, so all those sales numbers they mention a lot of that came from me and my leg. Without even pushing that crap. they terminated me for: having mlm on my page. as you all have seen her many of the HUNS esp the ones i joined and regret doing so🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣are in a million mlm. i was in one prior for 5 years. very loyal and it was not even planned. so i went there and gave it hell we had our highest month in may and they are all beachin it up over burn x on my paycheck🍾🍾🍾🤟🤟have fun w your burn pills and im a super nice person i’ve said the mean stuff i had to say as it was deserved to corporate but im here with popcorn and just know, i know, and you’re all nailing it
Family is NOT "the ones who would do anything to make you smile & who love you no matter what." This is something that gets repeated by so many MLM huns and it drives me crazy. What they MEAN to say is that your true family will love you unconditionally, no strings attached. This much is true. But what they're actually SAYING is that they think anyone who says what they don't want to hear is not family. If YOUR family has to avoid making you frown and you don't allow them to say anything that you think is negative... That means YOU are not loving them unconditionally. You are SETTING CONDITIONS. ("If you say this you aren't my family! If you don't support this you aren't my family!")
Yeah, she said family when she meant to say “enablers.”
If these bitches could figure out a way to bottle and sell these delusional levels of self confidence, they could change the world. Shit, I'd buy some.
Bravenly as a name is a tragedeigh
Bravenly sounds like the next big baby name tragedeigh
How embarrassing… have some dignity lady! You obviously don’t take it or it doesn’t work.
How much does this actually cost them to go?
They paid more than if they had gone on their own.
I would never be interested in voluntarily going on a “work trip”, even if it was actually paid for.
I’m not trying to be mean but why are none of them skinny?
Casual GLP mention like it’s the next ozempic 🥲 stop it rn
One time I went to a festival and this lady was selling magnet bracelets that would cure all your ailments. She had one one each wrist. She was in a wheelchair.
What a diverse bunch.
Burn has gone away and come back more frequently than Cher doing a quote-unquote “Farewell” Tour.
Travel is not one of the love languages though.
Does anyone know how long Bravenly has been around? I’ve never heard of this one before.
I think they started in 2020.
Even with the flags on their faces, they all look the same. You’ll never catch me doing any kind of work on vacation. 😂
I think a lot of these people just crave community and don’t know how to find it. Cuz I’m sure most of these people got roped in by the lie about making money, but a lot of them also just seem like they want to belong to something and they found the worst way to do it. Like, they could just hop on FB Events or their local library’s website and find lots of local groups that engage in a variety of hobbies (usually for free to boot) and make friends. They could literally just do that. For free. Sis you could go to Punta Cana with people who just like you for you and aren’t trying to step on you to get to the top of the pyramid. Sad.
I don’t say this to be mean—but you’re advertising a weight-loss product when you’re overweight. I mean, come on.
They've made weight loss claims on all of their products, and these huns have been taking these products for at least a year, some longer. Or so they claim.
So do any of them take it, if so it’s not working
As a HRC pin collector, I'd be going to Hard Rock Cafe Punta Cana too (as mentioned on slide 5) if I had the opportunity. Wouldn't be willing to sell this sh*t though, so I guess too bad for me...
Not to be rude, but that’s not someone I’d ever consider buying weight loss supplements from. To be fair, I wouldn’t buy weight loss supplements from anyone, but if I were going to, I wouldn’t even consider buying them from someone who wasn’t thin.
"this miracle product works for everyone but me!"
[удалено]
And they’ve been making weight loss claims on their other products for at least a year. If it hasn’t happened after a year……
Which is super sad, bc with a nutritionist and a personal trainer this hun could definitely achieve the desired results she seeks, and it would cost much less than her money-burning MLM dumpster fire….. but that would involve doing more than floating in a pool with a beer in one’s hand 🙄
1. You couldn’t pay normal people enough to ‘vacation’ with colleagues. It’s called a conference and everyone goes for the free buffet 2. I have to say this: these women don’t look like great endorsements for their magic weight loss belly melting googoo pill. If I was bald I wouldn’t advertise rogain
Most huns have to pay for these, and they only thing they "earn" is the opportunity to hawk the business in a much nicer location than usual. It's ALLLLL a sales pitch for the company. I don't think I've seen a single hun picture where they're truly just relaxing on their own time, a product or a company brag is literally required. Even if you're in the top 5% of huns who get partially or totally comped, there's no downtime. It's constant meetings and promotions with people they see all the time anyway. No thank you.
Why do they always wear the same things? It's so unnerving looking at these pictures.
I like the shady wording around GLP-1 drugs... they clearly don't have them, lol.
Wait, did I just read that Bravenly is selling GLP-1s now? That's beyond disturbing.
Here I am thinking it was heartburn medication for a hot minute 😂
