"We've totally transformed our bodies, and our lives."

A professional exercise physiologist, Celeste had always taken good care of herself. But when she began to see signs that her weight was interfering with her life, Celeste knew she had to do something. "I didn't have energy for my kids, my confidence was low and I reached a size 18 for the first time in my life, Celeste recalls. For Celeste's husband Rob, it was even more serious. "Weighing over 300 pounds, I had a negative outlook on life," Rob explains.
 

"With my background in exercise physiology, I knew the health risks of our weight gain."

Once she got started on a personalized ShapeWorks® weight-loss program, Celeste saw real change. "Now, I'm able not to just keep up with my kids–I have the energy to have a great time with them!" "I shed body fat, reshaped my physique and even got more muscular," Rob states. He went on to lose an astounding 128 pounds using the ShapeWorks® products!"*

"With ShapeWorks®, our confidence has soared!"

Here's How:

• ShapeWorks® shake each morning (sometimes mixed with fruit).

• Regular meal typically for lunch.

• ShapeWorks® Protein Snack (usually a Protein Bar or Protein Drink Mix). Another ShapeWorks® shake each evening.

"I love when friends ask, 'What happened to your stomach?'"

Marisela used to dance all night. She could run up and down the basketball court for hours without getting tired. But after Marisela became a mother, that all changed. She gained weight, lost most of her energy and developed a poor self-image. For years, Marisela dreamed of losing weight and recapturing the life she had loved so much.
 

"Although diets had let me down in the past,"Marisela says, "I jumped at the chance to try ShapeWorks® when my mother-in-law told me about the program." Just as she'd hoped, ShapeWorks® changed everything.

"Now when my daughter and I are together, people think we're sisters."

"I lost 80 pounds and dropped from a size 18-20 to a 2-4," Marisela exclaims, adding that "my marriage has improved, I love buying clothes again–and I'm back to dancing all night long!"*

"I never knew I could look and feel so great after having children!"
 

Here's How:

• Taking Formulas 1, 2 and 3 as well as ShapeWorks® protein snacks every day.

• Strictly following my personalized plan.

• Visualizing myself in the body I wanted– and making it happen!

From a do-or-die situation to well-being

"I'm in better shape now than I was at age 25."

After high school, Lenny's weight continually climbed until he reached 330 pounds. Plagued by Type 2 diabetes, psoriasis, acid reflux and a bad back, Lenny realized that losing weight was no longer an option, it was a do-or-die situation. "You name it, I had it. My health was horrible and I needed to change my lifestyle or else," he says.

In this desperate situation, Lenny reached out to a Herbalife Distributor who introduced him up to the Herbalife Weight-Management Programs. Within a month he was losing weight, and went from 330 to 230 pounds and his waist size dropped from 52 to 35 inches. He also experienced a surge in energy. Lenny is still losing weight. He is down to 215 pounds and plans to lose more.

Lenny says "Herbalife gave me the energy I needed to get back into the things I loved, like music. I had neglected a lot of things because I felt tired and sluggish all the time," Lenny explains. "The other major change that happened is my health improved so much that I was able to get off all the medications I had been on within a month. Two to three months on the plan, my doctor said, 'Whatever you're doing, keep it up.'"*

My diet tip: "If you just give the product a chance you'll notice that you'll feel better almost automatically."

Immediate and long-lasting success

"I wanted results fast without having to give up the foods I like."

Her weight sapped her confidence. Depressed and juggling a job as a computer consultant and a cosmetics salesperson, Cecelia had no time for herself or her family and her confidence was sinking. "I was so self-conscious about my weight and looks, I could not approach anyone to sell anything," she recalls. "I had two children to support, and I could not do either job."

Cecelia had tried commercial weight-loss plans but found them too exclusive, too restrictive, too slow, too workout-oriented and too ineffective. But after her mother trimmed down using Herbalife, Cecelia decided to give it a shot.

"I lost both pounds and inches in my first week. My energy went through the roof and I gained a whole new attitude!" She dropped from a size 14 to a size 8 and has maintained this weight for three years. "With Herbalife, I can continue to eat the same foods I love, but prepared more nutritiously. And carbohydrate cravings are a thing of the past.*"

My Diet Tip: "Eat Carbohydrates before lunch and drink lots of water."

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

For Julie Albright, 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."

Computer engineer Jerry P. was a true workaholic, working upwards of 14 hours a day. "I ate one meal a day," he explains, "and I had no energy." Even though he rarely stopped to eat, Jerry's lifestyle, demanding profession and stress caused him to put on weight and inches.

Dangerously overweight teenager is put on Herbalife by her doctors

"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!"*

“Even running 30 miles a week, I didn’t lose weight.”

Shelly Brown had been a college athlete who was on the track team and ran crosscountry. "I was always very small," she says. "But then I gained a lot of weight and couldn’t get it off." Traditional dieting had failed her for years and, though she still ran, the pounds wouldn’t come off. "I was at a point of desperation," she explains.

"It works so well because it’s good for you"

When she began using ShapeWorks® products, Shelly saw a rapid change in her body. She didn’t just lose weight; she learned how to be healthy. "I live in the South where everything is fried!" she says. "Using the products inspired me to eat more vegetables and lean meats." Today, she is fit and happy and enjoys sharing her renewed self-esteem with others. "I feel better using the products, and I’ve helped a lot of other people feel healthier, too."*

"Now I like to have my picture taken."

Cristina Hernandez had only one goal in mind when she started taking the ShapeWorks® products. "I really wanted to lose weight," she says. "The increased energy and improved health were wonderful benefits," says the mother of three, "but my main priority was changing my body." As a waitress, Cristina got plenty of exercise at work. "I was running around all day," she explains. But to get the body she wanted, Cristina needed better nutrition
 

"All it took was doing exactly what my Sponsor told me."

"When I started my program with my Sponsor’s help," Cristina recalls, "my figure started looking great–not too skinny, just fit and trim. I was so excited!" And Cristina wasn’t the only one who noticed. "Everyone wanted to know what I was doing to look so good."*|

Joy and Doak Harris struggled with their weight for years before discovering ShapeWorks® products. "I gained 40 pounds my first year in college," says Joy, "and I’d been losing the battle of the bulge ever since–finally reaching 220 pounds." As for Doak, weight gain led to energy-sapping health issues.

"You name the diet, I tried it."
"I did everything to lose weight," explains Joy. "I took aerobics classes and tried every new diet. Nothing worked." Doak’s struggle with his weight was made tougher by his profession. "He drives a truck," says Joy, "and it’s not easy finding healthy food along the road."

"Doak can mix his shakes in his truck."
"When we learned to personalize our protein, the change in our bodies was amazing," recalls Joy. "Doak has lost 101 pounds!" Joy exclaims. "I’ve lost 63 pounds and went from a size 22 to an 8/10. We look and feel 20 years younger."*

"My health problems were unbearable."

The high price of weight problems
As his weight escalated to over 400 pounds, Michael was taking more than 11 costly prescription medications a month just to keep his diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and other debilitating conditions, such as ulcerative colitis, from worsening. Chronic-fatigue syndrome zapped his energy and kept him homebound except for visits to doctors and pharmacies. According to Michael, "The physical and emotional pain of my health problems were becoming unbearable. I tried many weight-loss systems, but none worked consistently, and I was beginning to doubt whether I would ever feel well enough to work or have a happy social life."
 

Exceeding all expectations
One day Michael responded to a "Work-from-Home" ad and was invited to an Herbalife Opportunity Meeting. "I wasn’t expecting much, but I can tell you that my attitude and outlook took a positive turn the minute I walked through that door and saw for myself the happiness I was missing," he recalls.

Tremendous weight loss and health gains
Even Michael’s doctor thought that Herbalife was worth a try. From day one on Herbalife's Weight-Management Program, Michael felt his energy level rising as his weight steadily dropped. And 15 months after starting on the Herbalife program, Michael’s health had improved so much that his doctors took him off every previously prescribed medication. "I love these amazing products. Not only do I feel great, I look great! My waist has shrunk from 61 inches to 34 inches, " Michael excitedly states.*

Key motivator: "Life was slipping by in misery."
Diet tip: "Herbalife nutrition is much better than overeating. It keeps me from being hungry. Also, remember to drink lots of water."
Favorite "thin ’n fit" activity: "Walking everywhere, especially to the gym and back."

"I went from just getting through the day to really living!"

Life at 185 pounds took a real toll on Monica Hammonds. The extra weight drained Monica of all her energy. "I was a travel agent, but I was too tired myself to do anything at the end of the day except lay on the couch," she recalls.
 

"I tried every diet on the market, but nothing worked."

Monica was reluctant at first to try the ShapeWorks® products. "I'd had it with yo-yo dieting," she explains. But after hearing testimonials from people who'd lost weight with the ShapeWorks® products, Monica decided to give them a try. "I couldn't believe how these shakes were working," she says. "My energy shot up and I changed my shape! Everybody wanted to know what I was doing," she says, "and my business has been growing ever since!"*

"I lost 27 inches!"

Here's How:

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

• Use a lot of variety with shake recipes to keep it interesting.

 Favorites: Formula 1 shakes and Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex, healthy snacks such as Protein Bars for added appetite control, and Total Control® tablets.

“I went from a size 26 to a size 12.”

Frustrated by yo-yo dieting
Sue’s weight problem began after having two kids and a major surgical operation in her early 20s. After that, she faced steady weight gain followed by years of “yo-yo dieting.” She hated clothes shopping and refused to look in full-length mirrors. To make a bad situation worse, she also suffered from migraines and continuous hip, back and leg pain.
 

Energy gives diet a boost
Sue felt a certain amount of skepticism when she started Herbalife’s Weight-Management Program, but was soon won over by the results she achieved. “The incredible energy I got from the very first day was key,” Sue remembers. Other weight-loss programs Sue had been on were “too hard to follow,” but with Herbalife, she lost 100 pounds and didn’t feel as though she had to give up anything!

Life enjoyment returns
“I used to use food as a security blanket,” Sue says. But she finds a healthy diet easy to maintain with help from Herbalife. She no longer craves many of the junk foods she did before, such as chips and sweets. Her headaches have gone away, and she has more confidence in her daily life. Sue reports that she actually enjoys shopping and trying on new clothes–a complete turnaround for a woman who once avoided the mirror.*

Key motivator: “Watching myself shrink from a size 26 to a size 12.”
Diet tip: “Be committed and serious about your weight-loss program.”
Favorite “thin ‘n fit” activity: “Walking through the mall and trying on ‘little’ clothes!”
