From Wheezing up a Staircase to Training for a Marathon

Weight Before & After
Before: 209
After: 165
Pounds Lost: 44

 

Eli A. knew he was putting on weight. The self-described "chocoholic" had been giving in to his powerful sweet tooth more and more, and he even started taking naps just to get through the day.

 

"With my weight over 200 pounds, my wife was really worried about me."

 

But the energy boost he felt on the program was so strong, Eli participated in a marathon a few months later.

 

"Because of a knee injury, I only made it 18 miles," Eli says. "But considering the shape I was in before, what a great success that was!"

 

Eli went on to drop 44 pounds, add 10 pounds of muscle and slim his waist from a size 38 to 31.

 

"I'm training again for this year's marathon!" Eli exclaims.*

"People can't believe I'm 41."

"I can't thank the Herbalife® weight-management products enough!"

 

As any coal miner will tell you, the job's grueling conditions do real damage to the body. For 19 years, Adam K. worked underground in mines throughout Poland. "I was overweight, had health problems and always felt exhausted," he says. Then Adam moved to the U.S.–and started taking Herbalife's weight-management products. "Everyone noticed my transformation and wanted to know how I was doing it," Adam recalls. His results were hard to miss. "My waist shrank from 38 to 32 inches, I dropped 60 pounds and my body started showing muscle," he says, adding, "After being known as the guy with no energy, now I lead the charge! Today I look and feel more alive than ever!"*

"I felt tired all the time and didn't know why."

"I finally have my life back!"

For Julie A., the third try was the charm. Throughout her 30s and early 40s, she had twice been told about the nutritional and weight-loss benefits of Herbalife products, but she was reluctant to give them a try. "I was pretty negative," she says. "Even though I had no energy and felt terrible, I didn't think anything would help." Although a skeptic about weight loss, Julie's competitive streak came out when she was asked to join a weight-loss challenge. She joined, lost 25 pounds, and won the contest—all with the help of Herbalife

"I realized what my body had been missing!"
Long plagued by muscle and joint pain, Julie noticed that her weight loss coincided with renewed energy. Her lower weight reduced stress on her joints. "Before, my diet had been almost all carbs," she says. "I had no nutrition going into my body, which meant I was both overweight and malnourished." With 41 pounds lost, Julie continues to drink a shake every day and sees especially amazing results from Active Fiber. No longer a skeptic, she talks to people about Herbalife whenever she can. "Before I was functioning at around 25 percent of my capacity," she says. "Now it feels like 100 percent."*

"This program took me from a size 9 to a 4!"

Although she'd maintained a healthy weight for most of her life, Kathy Y's body seemed to undergo an irreversible change after having children. "I tried so hard to lose weight," she says. "I'd run and exercise for months–and drop only a few pounds. I also used to live on brownies and candy," recalls Kathy. "Plus, when you live in Hawaii, every meal has lots of rice." But after trying the Herbalife® weight management program she discovered her love for the shakes and protein bar snacks. Kathy adds, "I never felt any need to sneak junk food." Now Kathy is where she wants to be. "I'm in great shape, keeping the weight off, and enjoying delicious meals and snacks!"*

"I lost nearly 50 pounds in five months."

After many failed attempts to lose weight, Kevin F. feared he was doomed to spend the rest of his life overweight. And when he heard about Herbalife® weight-management products, Kevin admits, "I didn't jump right in." Kevin had become discouraged after trying for so long to lose weight. "When I thought about my children, though, I decided I had one more try in me," he explains. Kevin is sure glad he gave his "one more try" to Herbalife®. In addition to his stunning weight loss, Kevin says, "Now I have the energy to keep pace with my eight-year-old twin boys. And, because my health has significantly improved, I get to look forward to a long and happy life with my family!"*

"I still can't believe how much these products have improved my life!"

"I started seeing 'saddle bags' on my thighs," Kim Frahm recalls. "My size-14 clothes were getting tight. Even my dad was calling me his 'fluffy daughter.'" So Kim decided to take action. "When I saw my dad totally change his body using the Herbalife® weight management products," she says, "I agreed to give the program a try."

"I'm still pinching myself about how much weight I've lost!"
"After my first shake," Kim says, "I was surprised at how full and satisfied I felt. And after my third day on the program, I actually had the energy–finally–to play with my boys!" Soon Kim's clothes began to fit less snugly, and she went on to go from a size 14+ to a size 4-6. "No more cravings, no more exhaustion–and no more saddle bags!" Kim exclaims. "I still can't believe how much these products have improved my life!"*

"I absolutely love these products and will never stop taking them."

Michelle struggled with feeling miserable as a result of being overweight. "I never left the house because I wasn't satisfied with the way I looked," she says. "My self-confidence was very low." Michelle had tried a variety of diets. "I had tried every one out there and failed at them all," she says. "I felt like I had hit a dead end."

"I went from a size 14 to a size 6."
After trying the products, Michelle quickly noticed the positive changes. "The very first day, I felt so much more energy," Michelle recalls. "I lost 35 pounds in a few months and people wanted to know what my secret was." Michelle has kept the weight off for one year and half now. "I feel so good," she exclaims. "And I finally have the energy to keep up with my three children!"*

"I absolutely love these products and will never stop taking them."
"When the Hula Hoop got stuck around my middle, that was it!"
By Scott B.

Weight Before & After:
Before: 410
After: 200
Pounds Lost: 210

"When I see heavy people now, I feel for them. They just need to try this."

For Scott, the change came about when a friend put a Hula Hoop around him and he couldn't get it off. Scott knew that he had to lose a significant amount of weight.

"I lost more than half my weight."
Prior to discovering Herbalife products, Scott could not walk a block or bend over to tie his shoes because the pressure of his weight would become unbearable. Many suggested he undergo surgery to reduce his size, but Scott was reluctant to go to such extreme measures. Instead, he turned to Herbalife products.

"When I see heavy people now, I feel for them. They just need to try this."
Having tried every "potion and powder," Scott believed that Herbalife's nutritional weight-loss program would bring the change he was looking for. And indeed it was. Scott's old cravings have subsided and he craves healthier foods. Scott also improved his exercise routine and is now very active–and very happy.*
Dangerously overweight teenager is put on Herbalife by her doctor
By Stephanie

Weight Before & After:
Before: 226 pounds
After: 126 pounds
Pounds Lost: 100

"If you really want to change your life, Herbalife is the way to do it!"

At 15, Stephanie was dangerously overweight at 226 pounds. She suffered from high blood pressure and doctors warned her that if she didn't lose weight, she could be at risk for serious health problems. None of this motivated her enough. Then, someone told her boyfriend's mother she looked pregnant. Stephanie exclaims, "I knew it was time to do something about it." Because of Stephanie's high blood pressure and other health risks, many over-the-counter weight-loss programs were out of the question.

Herbalife was the only program Stephanie's doctors approved. "The program was easy to follow, and I liked the foods I could eat," Stephanie says. Stephanie went on to lose 100 pounds in a year and is now a happy, healthy 16-year-old. Her weight loss was gradual, but steady and consistent. "I noticed a big difference during my first month on the program," she remembers. "And a year later, I'm still on it and still losing weight. I didn't believe it could work until I tried for myself!"*

"I love to inspire others. I'm living the Herbalife dream."

Travis M. didn't realize how out of shape he'd become. "I didn't know I was so heavy," he recalls. "I thought I was just big boned. My biggest concern was low energy." Once Travis started taking Herbalife® products, however, he realized how much better he could look and feel. "I couldn't believe it," he says. "I felt great from the first day-and it only got better."

"I feel better than I did at 18!"
Within a short time, Travis started losing weight and gaining energy. "I was surprised at how easy the program was," he says. Motivated by his results, Travis began a serious exercise regimen, and his body underwent an amazing transformation. "I was so inspired by Herbalife's sponsored athletes that I decided to enter a local triathlon," Travis explains. "A lot of people could barely walk after the triathlon, but I surprised them because I was still energized from Herbalife products," These days, people hardly recognize Travis. "I won a 5k race," he says with excitement, "I feel unbelievable. And, thanks to Herbalife, my family has also become more active."*
