I just started the Herbalife products on Monday. I want to know if any of you have tried it, and if you had success with it. My mother has been on it since the beginning of the year and has already lost 60 lbs. I started it several months ago, and I had a hard time losing weight. I just really need some reassurance.

I used Herbalife after my second baby and lost about 35 pounds. I was amazed at how quickly I lost the weight when I stuck to the diet. You'll lose the weight, just hang in there. Good luck!!

Hay katie, yes I have used herbalife and if I remember right some of the pills I took daily were big green ones...I did lose some weight on them but I also watched my calories and fat like crazy...I was on a diet as well. I didn't exercise but did diet trying not to eat over 20 grams of fat a day and not over 1500 calories. It could have been the mixture if both but I believe if you really want it then you can lose the weight. I know it is really hard hard work, and I am soooo over weight now. Back then about 6 or so years ago when I took herbalife and thought I had to lose so much weight, I really didn't have to lose much at all...I would give anything to be the size I was when I first started herbalife. I kept telling myself I was fat and boy did I really gain alot of weight. The main thing is think positive and feel positive about yourself and love yourself. I do love myself but I do need to practice what I am preaching to you about the weight thing. Good luck to you...Try it for a while, along with diet and even exercise. It really helps to curve your appetite...Have a blessed day!!

My mom and I started Herbalife in April. She has lost 25 pounds. I've only lost 10 because I haven't been consistent. Stick with it. I just started again and I noticed that when I drink the tea in the morning I am not very hungry throughout the day. My thirst levels go up but that's good because it forces me to drink more water.

Best of luck to you.

K.,
YES, our family has had success on Herbalife! Our daughter lost 35 lbs. last year .She was losing weight before her wedding. I started taking Herbalife again this week too. I have 10-15lbs. to lose .

What I like about Harbalife is that it is nutritionally very good. With the large amount of protein, I feel full and still have energy and stamina.

Good Luck,
K. T.

We didn't use herbalife, but did the Arbonne one with the shakes, energy drinks, in between meal chews that taste like candy and a supplement. I also make a cleansing soup and did a 7 day detox before starting the program. My husband has lost 15 lbs. and not working out due to a ankle sprain. We both like it and feel really good, we have yummy fruit shakes for breakfast and eat salad and soup at lunch and dinner and feel very satisfied. Let me know if herbalife doesn't meet your satisfaction, I would love to help you and share recipes and ideas. M.

A friend of mine actually used to sell it and he had been doing it for almost 5 years. The product does work but PLEASE do not use it for long periods of time (6 months to a year). He ended up in the hospital and the lining of his stomach had started to deteriorate. He was coughing up blood and passed out numerous times. The doctor said that the Herbalife pills he was taking were causing it and should only be taken to jump start a diet, not to be used as a diet. He almost died. Please be careful with this product.

Hi K., I have been a Herbalife user for over 5 years now. I lost 32 lbs in 6 weeks and went from a size 16 to 10, which made me a real believer in the product! I stay on the product to maintain my weight, and in the 5 years have never gained a single pound back. But, more than the weight loss is the health effects I've gained! I have more energy, get excellent reports from my doctors, and am healthier than I've ever been in my 55 years! I love Herbalife!

Stay with it and go for it! Be consistent with the product and don't forget to give us an update! I can't wait to hear about your results...

As a result of using the product and finding out how powerful it is, I became an independent distributor to earn extra money for my family and get a great discount on the product! And yes, I consistently earn between $3000-$5000 every month just sharing the product with others and providing excellent support to them!

Yes, I love Herbalife!

Hi K.
Please be careful when using this product or any other diet products. My aunt who is rather overweight starting using Herbalife a few years ago and became very ill, her blood pressure was very high and she had a mild stroke which her neurologist attributed to this. She did recover but it was a long and scary process. I really hope that whoever is using diet products is being checked out by a physician a well. Because something is "herbal" does not mean it is safe.
Good luck!

I don't know much about Herbalife, but I do know that there are usually a lot of emotional reasons behind gaining weight. I went to Vanessa Whitmire for EFT sessions for 4 weeks, and was amazed at how easy it was to lose those last 10 pounds that I had been struggling with! EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique, and was profiled on The Learning Channel in a program called "I Can Make You Thin". It's a tapping technique, and combines it with customized affirmations. It's remarkable that something so simple could work so well. Vanessa is at Living Well Dallas, and you can call her at ###-###-####. Tell her B. sent you! Good luck!

K.,

I used to sell Herbalife.

I was on the product the entire time I was selling it - about a year - and yes, it did work. You MUST follow the plan EXACTLY though! AND... when you have lost the weight, you need to make sure you follow the plan to maintain the weight loss.

My advice it this... Try it for your month's supply. See if you can live eating one meal a day. They will try to sell you a yellow (I think) pill to take each day to make you not as hungry. It never worked for me.

I always tell people that this is not a magic pill. You already know what you need to do to lose weight. Eat less, eat healthier foods, and exercise more.

My dad died about 5 years ago. I was so scared after he died that would be my own fate as well. I started eating right, exercising like crazy... it worked amazingly, but I could only keep living like that for about a year. Then - I got burned out.

Since then, I have really embraced the fact that you need to make changes you can fit into your life. Now, this is what I am doing (and the weight is coming off slowly but steadily).

1. Eat breakfast
2. Get plenty of fiber (Fiber One cereal and yogurt)
3. Eat lunch (not UNhealthy - not always the healthiest)
4. Eat a snack if I am hungry
5. Eat a healthy supper - but one that I will enjoy - it is NOT the healthiest supper, but one that I can look forward to every day!
6. Exercise while watching my favorite TV show. (Walk and weight exercises)

This will not work for everybody, but the key is to find how you can make a healthier lifestyle fit into your life.

Do Herbalife for a month. See how you like it. Then, go from there.

Good luck, K.!
