White coats ... They're coming to take you away, haha!

Cozie it seems to be coming from my friends and other poor people that get sucked into the spiel. This was a recent FB post - quite a few of my friends signed up. I wouldn't like to hazard any guesses at how potentially unhealthy and unrealistic is it to expect that by using this to replace breakfast and lunch that you'll keep the weight off when you stop using the product. At £19 a pop it seems very overpriced.

Bear You are right it is Mummy's but the income from it is still probably very much needed to fund the lifestyle. FL simply won't bring in enough alone I would say.

£19 is a bargain orange - mine's charging £20. No interest though other than from her mum.

There are very few jobs that command the kind of income required to fund the lifestyle they attempt to portray.

That is what is so sickening- although it's abundantly clear that it is mainly all lies. I'd love to see their financials.

I can see what's happening though - it's as mentioned previously on tbe thread. It's almost like my friends are "buying" her friendship because they want to be part of it all. But they haven't realised the "all" is completely untrue and false. It's almost like subliminal bullying - they just need to wake up and realise that she's only interested in their money - not their friendship.

The trouble is orange so many people will be blinded by the false friendship and lured by the big cheques.

Makes me sick.

The shake thing is being heavily promoted spammed by all the FL people I have on my feed. Someone did well from it and others copied but I did see a thread on a manager group where in fairness one manager who is also a PT said its not a good idea to do it. Some agreed and others didn't.

Same here bear. It's horrible to see so many friends get duped - I've shown them the TV posts and mentioned these threads. I shall keep sharing them in the hope that if just one person stops buying from her and wises up then that will be a good thing.

Tojoin - your house is a tip because you've been sat reading these threads? Then why have you been reading the threads? You certainly haven't been taking on board any of the advice given by various people here, you've just dismissed it all as "anti-MLM speak" and one-sided. What did you expect?

Also, get used to your house being a tip at the weekends, because that's when you'll be expected to do your "training" as well as your evenings.

chucking I would have thought it was more likely to be a a tip, because she was out, on a sunday, in starbucks, meeting a tropic manager....

She might as well get used to it... Tis the way of mlms to have you working on the weekends.

Oh! Just read the last bit of your post chucking great minds eh? 😂

Will only be a matter of time until your upline pressures you to get a cleaner and a childminder #ditchthekids

OK...trying to stick to this UN now!

To answer the couple of questions from about 6 pages back about my £165 hamper...

Yes, I could definitely have bought the items cheaper elsewhere. There are no (or very few) special offers with LTW and it's mainly sold at RRP (ish). Buying the products cheaply isn't the aim though, nor is it advertised as 'cheap' shopping. The money comes from sharing of the profits LTW makes.

Sustainability - there are some fantastic sums on here which I know are popular and show that for everyone to succeed you need a million billion people and so on. But not everyone will succeed and earn...some people do drop out when they lose interest. It's not handed to you completely and you genuinely do have to put at least some effort into it (please no one shout me down, I've heard all the cries about MLM and lack of effort being quoted as a bs reason for failure before).

But, realistically, LTW IS a MLM company. As in marketing...as in, if you're not proactively advertising and marketing the company, you probably won't get far.

Not everyone will introduce 100 people and earn £2k a month. But some do. And everyone joining is given an equal chance to make it work and is aware of the 'risk' up front. I let people know the reality and that it does take input. I've had some people tell me they want to join, even though they hate talking to people and aren't very good at explaining things and don't like introducing others. And I tell them that LTW probably isn't for them and send them away.

Just to reiterate I don't have an upline and have not signed up yet, my house is a tip but it won't be tomorrow - cleaner is due Tuesday so I'm going to have to pull my finger out. It didn't take long for you gals to flick your bitch switch !!! I was enquiring about MLMS totally the wrong thing to do on this thread, I'll pack my info up and toddle off somewhere else it's been enlightening - are you sure I can't sell a contouring kit to anyone ??? - spelling has been checked would hate to think I was too pissed to realise my errors, can't help a bit of autocorrect though hey ?? Toddles, laters Huns love to you all xx (might what is it you say lurke ?? in the back ground whilst my cleaner is looking after the kids) 😘😘

Really Tojo? Good grief, you're making a tit of yourself

Thats nice tojoin off you "toddle" then! AGAIN.

LTW you said ' The money comes from sharing of the profits LTW makes'

Where does that profit come from?

Oh, toojoin, you are SO dull and boring. You add nothing to this thread. Kindly go away.

Back again tojoin to hurl a few more insults and flounce off again? That's nice dear.

How are these 'profits' actually shared? Have you seen a breakdown of the financials so far?

Thanks for your candour Lifetreeworld - so a massive pyramid scheme then. Marvelous, just what the world needs.

Tojoin - please stop using the words bitch and bitchfest. No one here has been rude to you, it's just snark; the MLM antidote.

You enquired about MLMs, were given alot of facts, you chose to ignore them (and it sounds like you'd already made up your mind anyway) and now you throw a bunch of sarcasm back at everyone. Well played.

Enjoy your new products as much as you enjoy tidying for your cleaner.

Good god tojoin you're a strange one!

LTW - nope still sounds like a dodgy pyramid scheme and that's because that is precisely what it is.
