Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge - Waste Of  Money

Lately, in the Ashy Bines camp, we have seen old, re-hashed, or stolen images with fake testimonials, making the transformations on their Facebook.

Could this be a sign? The end of the Ashy scam? Who knows.

It seems that since her diet plan went out over the Internet for free, her transformations, testimonials, and also her fan base and support, has started dwindling. So much so, that they are now offering a $3000 first place cash prize to anybody who sends in a transformation image plus testimonial.

I wonder if the entrants realise, that once these images and testimonials are in the hands of ABBBC, that they have no more rights over how the images are distributed?

I'm going to say to all women (or men) who enter, do so at your own risk. Once that submit button is clicked, bye bye privacy.

On the plus side, it seems that, aside from the hardcore supporters, she isn't doing as much, or any more, harm to vulnerable young women.

Competition behing held by ABBBC on Facebook

In her latest video to suck in the vulnerable and impressionable, with "deals" and overused gimmicks, Ashy has included an animation of a certificate that has her "qualifications" printed on them.

When the institution printed on this "certificate" was contacted, they confirmed that Ashy has not completed such courses.

Further more, when enrolling in training institutes, schools and universities, or Tafe, it is required to print your full name for the course list. "Ashleigh Bines" is what should be printed on her "certificate" if it really is her legally identifying form of documentation showing her qualifications, "Ashy Bines" is unacceptable. They do not allow or require nicknames to be submitted. These are only used in classrooms during verbal conversations, never on official or legally binding documents, such as the T's & C's of enrolling, which most schools e.t.c require.

Below is the screen shot of the certificate in her video, plus date it was uploaded. Also, the time in which the "certificate" appears.

This video is the latest upload on gcchallengetv, spruiking her plan, as they have not uploaded in a while. (I wonder what for ha ha)

Just another reason y weights & resistence training do a body good! Your not going to get big and look like a body builder if you combine weights with some cardio and a good diet ur only going to get smaller because your going to get tighter, more firm and turn that flabby fat that takes up twice as much room into toned tight lean muscle! Were not built the same as men who can build big muscles very easily and I know which butt i would prefer and which butt the guys would prefer too! So dont be afraid to lift weights if u want real results & be the best healthy version of you….Train mean, eat clean & look lean :):)"

This transformation was on Ashy Bines' page and claimed to be a "Lindsey." Of course I could not find her on the list, even with extensive research, so I have emailed this girl.

The following quote was taken from "Lindsey's" image on the ABBBC Official Facebook Page:

"SO PROUD by one of our bikini body girls LINDSEY!!

This his her butt after 11 weeks of The 12 week bikini body challenge at burleigh AND following My clean eating plan!

Well done babe you are amazing and have transformed your mind body and espcially your butt wooohooo!!!! xxx"

Another fake testimonial on ABBBC Official Facebook page.

"Noami" is really Annette Cruz, from the USA

"Naomi" can also be found under several other aliases:

Deer Park Kick Boxing

Fitspiration

And under the name "Martin" spruiking Acai Verde

This next image is also found on the ABBBC Official Faceboook page, with the following quote:

"Hi Ashy,

I've had plenty of slip ups along the way, but find I'm still losing weight and cm's by sticking to the guidelines as much as possible. I used to go to the gym 5-6 times a week without any results, because I never changed my eating habits. Since starting your plan, I've noticed my body changing with minimal exercise.. Thank you so much for creating this plan, I'm definitely feeling more comfortable within myself, and I'm only on week 9, can't wait to see the results in another 9 weeks"

When I did a reverse image search on Google, however, the photo was not only on the ABBBC wall.

Though, in all honesty, after viewing Thinspiration's Facebook page, I came to the conclusion it was either run by ABBBC, or a hardcore supporter.
