Success Stories

This could be YOU

"No more fast food cravings."

At 21-years-old and 265 pounds, Jon Nickel wasn't feeling like his college years were the best of his life. "A lot of people gain the freshman 15," he says. "But I also gained the sophomore 15, the junior 15 and the senior 15. I was desperate." Finally, a friend suggested he try Herbalife. What happened next amazed him.

"The first month I lost 16 pounds. Within 8 months, I'd lost 72 pounds!"

Jon's results with Herbalife were so dramatic that he quickly became a Distributor. His mother was his first customer and soon he was also helping his fellow classmates. Today, he maintains a healthy weight and enjoys an active lifestyle he couldn't have imagined in the old days. "I go hiking and play racquetball," he says. "I love getting outside and moving around." Although he used to snack throughout the day, hitting the vending machine between every class, he hasn't gone near fast food in years. "The shakes fill me up and give me energy in the morning," he says. "I'm going to be drinking them forever."

"People ask 'How long you do have to drink the shakes?' I tell them 'As long as you want to feel great!'"

Here's How:

  • Get active and support your exercise with Cellular Nutrition and Joint Support.
  • Drink Liftoff™ instead of diet soda. It will give you stable energy and you won't have the urge to grab a soda.

"I lost four dress sizes!"

Crying in the dressing room
As a child, other children made fun of Louise because she was so skinny, so she never thought she would be fat. Although she gained weight with each passing decade, Louise still felt good and looked good until age 50. Then at 50, "I suddenly found myself very fat," says Louise. Louise finally recognized that it was fat when she began to mourn in a store dressing room when she tried to get in a size 16.

Another "fad diet?" As a nurse, Louise knew that being overweight was not healthy, but she was skeptical of diet products. Finding Herbalife in desperation, Louise was surprised that "the shakes were delicious, I had more energy and I did not starve!" Louise lost 40 pounds and went from a size 16 to a size 8.

Advantage: Healthy, and no more allergies!
Using Herbalife's weight loss program, Louise lost inches without a formal exercise program. Now Louise is in excellent health, and as an advantage, "I found I could breathe without taking allergy medicine I had taken for 15 years!"

First Motivation: "I never want to be fat again!" Diet Tip: "Do not let yourself get hungry. Try to eat light and healthy." Favorite activity: playing basketball and walking.

Before: 189 pounds

Herbalife gave me a new lease on life

Chester tried everything under the sun to lose weight. Unable to control his appetite, he would then fall into a yo-yo pattern of weight loss and gain. Because obesity and diabetes run in his family, he was determined to lose weight. "I never thought I was obese, but I felt tired all the time," recalls Chester. "I also knew that being close to 250 pounds, I was not immune to diabetes the way I was going."

It all started with a little surfing Surfing the Internet, Chester discovered the Herbalife web site. "I was intrigued by Herbalife, but skeptical," says Chester. "Before I contacted an Herbalife Distributor, I said to myself, ' I've tried everything else, including hypnosis, so what do I have to lose?' "

The results were immediate Chester quickly lost nine pounds in the first week just using Total Control®. He also noted an increase in his energy and was motivated to take his already-active exercise routine to the next level. "I upgraded to Herbalife's Weight-Management Program," remarks Chester, "and shed even more pounds."

Bursting with vigor In just five months, Chester trimmed down to 179 pounds and went from a 42-inch waist to 29 inches. "I have boundless energy," exclaims Chester. "People look at me differently-and some people don't even recognize the 'new me.' "*

Key motivator: "My desire to feel good and wear clothes that flatter me." Diet tip: "Set reachable goals and don't give up." Favorite "thin 'n fit" activity: Basketball and walking.

Before: 244 pounds
After: 179 pounds
