fedale, it says right on the statement that "You will not charged ANYTHING today..."

They did this just to validate your card and make sure the account is good. 

It is important to read the Terms of Service of every offer you do - I'm sure this was stated within those TOS.

I know what validating means, and its almost ALWAYS $1 just to make sure the card has money on it, but Im pretty sure my bank is going to call tomorrow and say... "You're account has been overdrawn, please put funds into your checking, and there will be a fee of 33 dollars credited to your account"

Okay, so I read the TOS, and yes it does say the 65 dollars crap, and yeah I should have read...

anyway, will I still be overdrawn if I call and cancel tomorrow?

Your bank won't charge you an overdraft fee on an authorization.  It should fall off of your account in a day or two and you will see the money back in your account.  Don't worry it's just an authorization not a charge. :)

I did this as well and it also took the money and placed it on hold. I emailed them and asked what that was all about. They place a hold on the $65 for an entire month before they charge you to make sure you are going to have it when the times come for the trial to be over.

A hold for an entire month ? My bank allows 5 days. Then the hold expires. Unless they renew the hold every 5 days they would not be able to play finders keepers with my money.

 Fedale , you can call your bank and have them block that company and the amount of the charge from processing.

Seriously it says pre authorization on your screen shot. What part of that dont you understand? You cant over draft if the charge is pending for 30 days.

on another note. Is this a good offer? I dont need to loose weight. but i do need to eat healthier.
