At 25, Eileen weighed 245 pounds and was sick with debilitating sinus infections and respiratory problems. By that time my self-esteem was non-existent and friends were few and far between, Eileen reflects.
Then she discovered Herbalife's Weight-Management Programs. She lost a total of 130 pounds in 10 months and went from a size 22 to a size 3.
Today, not only is she smaller, but all her allergy symptoms are gone. Eileen excitedly remarks, "My hair, skin and nails are incredible, and people I know from childhood are speechless when they see me. It's the most incredible feeling!"*

The love handles had to goAs the years began to sneak up on Bob, his weight did, too. “I’d always been in good shape,” says Bob, “but I wasn’t happy with the love handles I’d gained. And my health wasn’t great.”
Old friend, new look“One day, I saw an old friend who’d always been overweight,” says Bob. “Only this time, he looked like ‘Mr. Perfect.’ I thought to myself, ‘I work out and he doesn’t. What’s missing from this picture?’ It was Herbalife.”
Portion control worksIn his first month following Herbalife's Weight-Management Program, Bob lost 15 inches. “I still eat the foods I love–I just don’t eat as much of them,” he says. “Also, I feel better, and my knees don’t hurt anymore,” he’s happy to report.
Lean, ripped and ready to competeTo compete in a fitness contest, Bob wanted not only to lose weight, but gain definition. “I wanted to get lean and ripped,” he says. Thanks to Herbalife, he did both. “Herbalife absolutely helped me reach my goals,” he says.*
Key motivator: “To feel better and stay younger.”
Diet tip: “The products will help you moderate your eating. You don’t have to deny yourself.”

Dangerously overweight teenager is put on Herbalife by her doctors |

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 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 ShapeWorks® 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!"*

Tomas Cisneros subsisted on a diet of primarily bread and milk for many years, which added extra pounds. To lose weight, Tomas started skipping meals. With the regular exertion of his job as a construction worker, this was a recipe for disaster. "My earlier efforts to lose weight landed me in the hospital," he explains.
"I wanted to lose weight, but didn't know how."
"Taking Herbalife products made a big improvement in my health," Tomas says. By providing his body with proper nutrition, he was able to lose the extra weight and feel better. He lost all the weight he had gained and has now happily and healthily kept it off for three years.*
"Now I feel and look great!"

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.

Beatriz Ramirez remembers feeling sick and exhausted all the time–and the more weight she gained, the worse she felt. "I needed to get healthier," she recalls, "for myself, my husband and our daughter." On the ShapeWorks® products, Beatriz's life improved more than she could've hoped. She lost 44 pounds, went from a size 14 to a 3 and, most importantly, she "began feeling terrific!" Beatriz's results were so impressive that her husband Elias started using the products.
"Our weight was making us unhealthy–and miserable."
"I wanted to look better," explains Elias, who was inspired by his wife’s stunning product results. Elias's results were astonishing, too–he went from a size 40 to a 32/33 waist and lost 70 pounds. "Like Beatriz," he says, "I also felt healthier than ever. I used to hate being around people because I always felt sick; now I love being among people!" Today, the couple is actually happy to report Beatriz has put on a few pounds: "She's pregnant!" Elias exclaims.*
"We're both healthier than ever!"
Here's How:- To lose weight, you need to eat. Don’t starve yourself.

"Even though I was 45 pounds overweight, I got interested in the products because of the business opportunity. I knew that I had to believe in the products if I was going to distribute them, so I gave them a try. That first day, my energy soared. Ten days later, when I could slip into a pair of jeans that had been too tight before, I knew that I'd found the solution to my weight problems and a terrific business opportunity."
"A bag of chips would go straight to my hips."
Before discovering Herbalife products, weekends were Jean's downfall, when she'd find herself binging on junk food. Because she only ate one meal a day and wasn't getting enough nutrition, her body "seemed to hang on to the fat." She adds, "As the years went by and my metabolism slowed, the weight stayed with me." Four years after losing 45 pounds, Jean is as passionate about the products as when she first reached her goal weight. "Now I'm motivated to exercise and stay fit," she says.*
"I feel great about myself now."
Here's How:
Commit to consistently sticking with the program for 7 to 10 days, so you can experience real results.
Drink lots of water–eight glasses a day.
Think of your Distributor as a weight-loss coach who can provide you with support.

"In the old days, my idea of healthy eating was going out to get fast food," laughs Glen Worthing. "After all, there was lettuce and cheese on a taco!" Though it seems funny today, back in 2001, Glen's weight was no laughing matter. After steadily gaining weight over the last several years, he'd topped out at 225. An avid skier, his knees were beginning to suffer from the added weight. After work, he didn't have the energy to do much other than lie around and watch television. But then a business opportunity turned into a chance at a whole new life.
"The first time I tried Herbalife I had so much energy! I said, ‘Let’s get started!’"
Drinking two shakes a day, Glen lost several pounds in his first month with Herbalife. In six months, he lost a total of 50 pounds. He went from being “the kind of dad who couldn’t do sports or ride bikes” to an active and athletic parent. Today, he loves to play tennis and basketball with his son after school. Glen even participates in triathlons, including the Nautica Malibu Triathlon. “I now know I’m going to have more energy as I get older rather than less.”
“It’s an incredible feeling.”
Here's How:
Don’t be stubborn about “doing it yourself.” Some people think the Herbalife program seems too easy to be true. Remember: It actually works!
Jump into the program with your entire being. The more you put into it, the better the results you’ll achieve

"I grew up thin and healthy," explains Martha Ramirez. "So when I started to suffer from depression and put on weight as a result, my self-image was shattered." Martha then experienced the vicious cycle of depression leading to weight gain, which then led to even more depression. "Soon, I was completely miserable," she recalls. "I hated my body, and I didn't want to face anyone."
"Now I'm loving life every minute."
"When I tried the ShapeWorks® program," says Martha, "what amazed me first was how much energy I had." Soon, Martha began to notice significant physical changes as well. "People actually asked me if I'd had cosmetic surgery," she says, "because I looked so much better than I used to." Eventually, Martha lost 50 pounds on ShapeWorks®, dropping from a size 14 to a 3. "I'm so happy with this new me!" she exclaims, "At 39, I look and feel better than I did at 26!"
"I'm on the go all day long!"

Angie McOscar has always had a sweet tooth. "My friends wanted to be supportive," she says, "so they'd say I was 'big-boned' or that I was 'just built this way.'" Because she knew she'd never get rid of her cravings for sweets, Angie accepted that she'd always be overweight. "Then a friend told me about the ShapeWorks® products," recalls Angie.
"I was still able to satisfy my sweet tooth."
"The shakes were tasty," Angie says, "but I wanted the sensation of eating food." Luckily, Angie is an excellent cook. "That's how I got fat in the first place," she jokes. So Angie used Formula 1 shakes to create inventive meals. "I used fruit in my recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth," she explains. In less than a year, Angie completely transformed herself, dropping 92 pounds and finding the energy for quality time with her husband, son and daughter. "Now," Angie says, "I just eat less because I feel more satisfied!"*

Rodney and Mary Ann Marcantel joke that they've tried every weight-loss program ever developed. But their weight was no laughing matter. "Mary Ann had serious weight-related health issues," Rodney says, "and many of my relatives suffered from poor health brought on by being overweight." So when Rodney started dropping pounds on the ShapeWorks® products, he says, "I knew this was our answer to a healthy future.”
"We'd both been battling weight problems forever."
Despite Rodney's initial success, he recalls, "Mary Ann was skeptical, having been disappointed by weight-loss programs before." So Rodney sent his wife to work with a shake. And when Mary Ann called just hours later, Rodney knew she had come around. "She said, ‘I don't know what’s in this thing, but I feel incredible!’ And I told her, ‘So do I.’" Now, Rodney and Mary Ann are enjoying healthy, vibrant lives. "I’m so glad I tried that first shake," he says. "We describe ShapeWorks® products in one word–wow!"*

For computer consultant Mitchell Goroff, traveling–and the loneliness that came with it–was a big part of the job. "Being on the road, I missed my family," he recalls, "and I'd deal with it by treating myself to milkshakes." Soon, Mitchell reached 250 pounds. "When I saw that number on a scale," he explains, "I knew it was time to get serious about losing weight."
"My waist went from a size 44 to a 34."
"Before," Mitchell says, "when my son and daughter coaxed me into playing outside, I'd be wiped out after five minutes. Now, they get tired before I do!" Mitchell's results also changed the way he buys clothes. "I shed 10 inches from my waist," he explains, "and went from an extra-large shirt to a medium." And, because of the ShapeWorks® products, the self-described milkshake addict went from virtually no exercise to lifting weights and running several times a week.*

Fighting a longtime battle with her weight had begun to take its toll on Cristina Salazar. "I became very depressed," she says. Cristina was working at a bakery at the time, so temptation was within easy reach. "I started nibbling and snacking, indulging in sweets throughout the day to make myself feel better,"she explains. "And that just added more weight." At 196 pounds, Cristina decided to take action.
"I spend my days working with pastries–and I'm not even tempted."
"People started saying to me, 'Wow! You look beautiful!'" Cristina says of her early weight loss on ShapeWorks® products. Suddenly, the woman who'd felt so bad about her body for so long was now getting compliments about her looks. "My confidence has improved so much," Cristina says, "that I've been able to start the business–something I'd never have been comfortable doing before."*
"It feels pretty good being 50 pounds lighter!"
Here's How:
Be patient. You will see results, but not if you give up too soon because you were in too big a hurry.

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."

"I was a performance dancer for many years," recalls Kristy Chase. "Even though I'd always been relatively healthy and active, in recent years I'd been trying to shed a stubborn 20 pounds."
When she started using the ShapeWorks® products, Kristy's boyfriend, Mike Navarra, was facing more serious health issues. "At 26 years old," Mike says, "my doctor said my weight was making me unhealthy."
"This is how we're supposed to feel."
Whenever Mike picked up Kristy to go out, he'd find her enjoying a shake. "One day," says Mike, "Kristy convinced me to try one–and I loved the taste!" Kristy went on to drop those last 20 pounds and regain her dancer's physique, while Mike lost 60 pounds and dramatically improved his health. "We're more active and energetic today than we've ever been!" exclaims Kristy.*
"At 28, I feel better than I did at 21."
What Works:- Start by just committing to five days. After that, the program is so much easier because it's routine.
- Make your shake taste like a favorite dessert. Add chocolate soy milk.

"These products have earned my loyalty for life!"As a student living in a college dorm, Raquel De Luna had a hard time finding the right foods–and no problem finding unhealthy snacks. "My self-esteem hit an all-time low," she remembers, "when a boy I liked told me he wasn't interested because I was overweight."
"Now I know the importance of good nutrition."
When she started using the ShapeWorks® products, Raquel explains, "I finally started to get it. I learned good eating habits, which really made the program easier." For example, even if she ran out of products, "I knew the right foods to eat," she says, "and which ones to avoid." As a result, Raquel lost 46 pounds and went from a size 16/18 to a 6/7. "I'm so happy with what these products have done for me," she states, "that I'm dedicating my life to bringing them to others."*
"I feel great about myself–and I'm eager to help others."

"I was working myself to the bone," recalls Donna Cox, whose 12-hour workdays were literally making her sick. Donna also had to have her hip replaced. "My doctor told me I had to change my lifestyle if I wanted to be healthy," she says.
"Herbalife was my road to recovery."
In addition to losing 30 pounds, Donna became active again and got back into softball, her favorite sport. "Who would've imagined I'd be a competitive player again after a hip replacement?" she asks. In fact, Donna's results have been such an inspiration to those around her that virtually all of her softball teammates are on ShapeWorks® products as well. "Even my doctor has started using the products," she says. "Is there a better endorsement than that?"*
"My entire softball team is using the products!"
Here's How: - Let the products do the work. Just keep yourself committed to them.

Carol Rosenau had never been overweight. "But after I had surgery, I started putting on serious pounds and couldn't stop," she recalls. The weight gain began to take a serious toll on Carol's life–robbing her of energy, damaging her selfesteem and leaving her depressed. "Thank goodness for my brother, Rob Mason, Millionaire Team, who introduced me to the ShapeWorks® products," says Carol.
"I was trapped in a body I didn't even recognize."
Carol went into her personalized program with a realistic approach. "I knew it wouldn't happen overnight," she says. "But I also knew that every day I stuck to it took me one day closer to getting back to the person I wanted to be." Over the next eight months, Carol dropped 80 pounds and 76 inches, going from a size 16 to an 8. Today, Carol's days are filled with excitement and good feelings about the future. "Now that I'm happy with who I am today, I'm looking forward to tomorrow!"*
"I'm so much more excited about life!"
Here's How:- Don't be so worried about the scale. Remember, you're also building lean muscle, dropping inches and improving your health–eventually, your reflection in the mirror will show it.
- Lean on your support system–whether that means asking loved ones to keep you on track or using Herbalife's many support tools, or both. You can't have too much support.

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."

At 198 pounds, Rossy Castro had more urgent issues than how she looked. "I had serious weight-related health problems," she explains, "and I wanted the discomfort gone." When she started her ShapeWorks® program, Rossy's first priority was to improve how she felt, not to drop pounds. "People said I'd lose weight," says Rossy, "but I'd been through so many failed weight-loss plans, I didn't believe them."
"I looked at my 'fat photo' every time I wanted junk food."
To her astonishment, after starting the program, Rossy not only felt better–she was losing weight. "I put an old, 'fat photo' of myself on my refrigerator, and I'd look at it whenever I wanted junk food," says Rossy. "I'd ask myself, 'Do you really need that doughnut?'" With 60 pounds lost, Rossy feels like a new person. "In my old photos, I looked like I was 60. Look at me now!"*
"I feel great and I have the energy of a 20-year-old."

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."*

When her weight reached 175 pounds, Margarita Coria noticed a lot more than just her physical appearance was changing. The once-active 28-year-old had less energy, felt depressed more often and just wasn’t enjoying life as much as she used to. “I didn’t have the strength or motivation to go to the gym, go out dancing or even enjoy time with my kids,” Margarita explains.
"I’m at my goal weight!"
Hoping to get back her energy, look better and improve her self-esteem, Margarita started on the ShapeWorks® Program. “The weight really started coming off fast,” she recalls. “Before I knew it, I was back to my old self again–waking up at 6 a.m. to go to the gym, riding my bike and loving the time I have with my kids!”*

Eli Akiba 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."
"When I started on the ShapeWorks® products," recalls Eli, "I was having a hard time just making it up a flight of stairs." 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.*
Here's How:- Don't fight my sweet tooth–enjoy two snacks a day, like Protein Bars. Make my shake really delicious by adding frozen raspberries.

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.

At 165 pounds, Brenda Caswell was very unhappy. "I felt like I was failing my husband, my children and myself," she remembers. Brenda had tried everything to lose weight–six months with a personal trainer, several weight-loss programs–but she didn't see any results.
"Diet after diet let me down, and I was ready to give up."
Then, Brenda discovered ShapeWorks® products. "The first thing I noticed was that it was so easy," recalls Brenda. "I dropped to 123 pounds," she beams. Then, Brenda had her lean-to-fat body ratio tested with a ShapeScan® Body Analyzer and found she needed to increase her protein intake, which she did. "I lost six more inches, gained lean muscle, and reached my ideal weight of 131." Brenda credits the ShapeWorks® products with restoring her happiness.

With a genetic history of severe illness, Jim realized he had to do everything he could to improve his health. Jim tried everything short of joining an official program to rid himself of the excess weight that had plagued him since childhood.
"The beauty of the ShapeWorks® Program is that it's simple! Just follow the 3-2-1 steps."
Initially in denial of how badly out of shape he was, Jim decided to aim high and began his weight loss with the Ultimate ShapeWorks® Program. Jim found it incredibly easy to stick with the weight-loss plan.
"What kept me going was the peace of mind that I was doing something good for myself."
Not only has Jim kept his weight off for over two years, he's improved his lifestyle. With energy to spare, Jim includes regular exercise in his routine.*

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."

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!

Having gone through the ups and downs of every diet one could name, Lisa was disappointed with her results. Yet, once she saw her friend’s success in dropping from a size 16 to a 6, she immediately needed to know how she could do the same.
"By taking the products, I had so much energy to keep up with my kids!"
After the birth of her second child, Lisa worried that the added weight would never come off. But, with the line of delicious Herbalife products, she dropped from a size 14 to a 2 and has kept the weight off for three years.
"I wanted to make a change in myself, I was ready."
Though in the past, Lisa was frustrated at not being able to squeeze into fashionable clothes, she now has the freedom to buy whatever she likes. Not only has her wardrobe changed, but so have her eating habits. Even with her sweet tooth, Lisa has felt completely satisfied.*

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.*

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.
"Three days after starting ShapeWorks®, I felt so much energy."
Thanks to a recommendation from a client, Jerry started on a ShapeWorks® personalized weight-loss program–and began to see results fast! "I lost 33 pounds and 16 inches," he says. "Now I'm enjoying three great meals each day–including two ShapeWorks® nutritional shakes. And best of all, I have the energy to do the things I want to do."*
"I'm enjoying my meals and still losing weight."
Here's How:- I stayed faithful to the products.
- I enjoyed two ShapeWorks® nutritional shakes a day with frozen fruit.
- When I wanted something sweet, I ate a protein bar.
- If I wanted something crunchy, I ate the Roasted Soy Nuts.
- I'd give myself a treat occasionally, like pizza or wings.

Along with the love and joy of having a newborn, Carmen experienced something she didn't expect—unhappiness from not being able to lose the extra pounds she had put on during her pregnancy. Carmen and Alfredo were first introduced to Herbalife products because Alfredo had digestive problems. As he began to feel better, Carmen realized they could further benefit from Herbalife by losing their unwanted weight through the ShapeWorks® Program.
"My whole body was reacting badly to all the different diets I was putting it through."
Prior to Herbalife, Carmen felt numerous physical ill effects from fad diets and knew that she was causing her body harm. But, when she began the Shapeworks® Program with Total Control®, she never felt like she was on a diet.
"Most diets are about not eating this or that, but with Herbalife I was eating five times a day."
Carmen finds that the Shapeworks® line of products works because it concentrates on nutrition and overall health for long-term weight loss. Herbalife products leave you satisfied, so you make better food choices.
"Our lives are totally different!"
Having both reshaped their bodies, Carmen and Alfredo also improved their energy, enhanced their self-esteem, and created a livelier atmosphere at home for their family.
"We now have the confidence to be proud of who we are."
Today, Carmen is 74 pounds lighter and her husband 98 pounds. While their family still eats many of the same foods they used to enjoy, the trio has incorporated more fruits and vegetables into the mix. Carmen loves the fact her entire family looks and feels better than ever before.*
"It's about so much more than losing weight—now we're happy and healthy, too."
Here's How:- Regular exercise–both aerobic activity and weight training.
- Continued use of Herbalife's weightloss products– including the ShapeWorks® one-shake-a-day maintenance plan.
- Taking the 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program every three months.

A producer for the #1 Spanish morning show in the nation, "Piolin por la Mañana," and a sidekick to Piolin, Alberto is known on-air as the comedic psychic Mala Suerte –which means bad luck. Although the entertainer and morning-show producer had become successful in radio, Alberto was beginning to feel like his 210-pound body was "mala suerte" for his career.
"When I started losing weight, shopping for clothes became fun again!"
"Going to public events, mingling with celebrities and meeting with promoters are all part of my job," Alberto explains. "And I just wasn't comfortable the way I looked." When he started using the ShapeWorks® products, Alberto began regaining his confidence. "People started giving me compliments," he recalls. "My favorite was that I look younger." Thanks in large part to the ShapeWorks® products, this radio star has built a physique fit for television cameras!*

Because she wasn't giving her body the nutrition it needed, Melissa was regularly in serious pain. "I had stomach aches when I ate something that didn't agree with me," she recalls, "which seemed to be almost everything I ate." Melissa suffered from daily headaches. She suffered from frequent exhaustion. But Melissa was also hurting in a different way: "I was disgusted with my weight."
"Before I started on the ShapeWorks® products, I felt tired all the time."
"I am so grateful for these products,"
Melissa beams. "When I found out about this program, my son was four months old, and it was great to have so much more energy for him." Because the ShapeWorks® products provided her the nutrition she needed, Melissa explains, "I really started feeling better and healthier." And Melissa is now proud of her body: "I went from barely fitting into my stretchedout size 14 jeans to a size 4!"
"With these products, I've found my answer to a better life!"

What would you tell someone trying to lose weight?Gustavo: You need to know why you want to lose weight–for health reasons, to look better– whatever the reason is, keep it in mind because that’ll be what will keep you motivated. Then there’s no stopping you!*

An active retiree who still holds a part-time job and regularly volunteers, Clara had always been thin–until she reached 50. When she returned from a recent vacation, Clara noticed something alarming–she weighed more than she ever had.
Clara's daughter-in-law, an Herbalife Distributor, personalized a ShapeWorks® weight-loss program that has helped Clara achieve amazing results!
What's changed since you started using ShapeWorks®?
Clara: First, my body feels so much better. I have lots of energy now. And I even feel fewer aches. I’m also getting compliments all the time on how I look, especially from my husband.
You’ve noticed a difference in your body?
Clara: Have I ever! My shape has really changed for the better, and I love it.
Has sticking with ShapeWorks® been difficult?
Clara: That’s what's so incredible. It's easy. Because of all the protein I get, I don't have the munchies like I used to. And when I get a craving, I reach for healthy snacks. This program has really changed my life.*

With three young children, all under three years old, Elaine needed all the energy she could muster just to keep up. But at 221 pounds, Elaine’s energy level was consistently low, and she wasn’t able to fully enjoy time with her kids. “I needed to do something about it.”
After seeing her husband’s impressive results–Tom lost 25 pounds with Shapeworks®–Elaine gave the products a try. Elaine found the solution that would change her life–and the lives of her entire family. Her results were astounding: she dropped 91 pounds, shed 44 inches and went from a size 16 to a size 2! “The protein helps keep me feeling satisfied, so I don’t need to snack,” she says.
Today, Elaine and Tom are thrilled with their results. “I’m smaller today than the day Tom and I met,” Elaine happily remarks. ShapeWorks® products have also given them the energy to enjoy their lives more than they ever have. As for Elaine keeping up with her kids–problem solved. “I have so much energy, my kids ask me to slow down,” she says.*

At 197 and 195 pounds, respectively, Margaret and Timothy were "couch-potato partners," living inactive lifestyles and eating unhealthy foods. Although Margaret had tried to lose weight on several different diets, she never achieved the results she wanted. And Timothy wasn’t really trying. But after Margaret tried Herbalife’s Weight-Management Program, everything changed–for both of them. Having lost 99 pounds combined, and having kept it off for over two years, Margaret and Timothy are living examples of how to stay slim over the long haul.*
What was the turning point that led you to try Herbalife’s products?
Margaret: When Timothy and I realized we were becoming too tired to enjoy our lives.
Timothy: I was skeptical at first. It wasn’t until I saw Margaret losing weight and having so much more energy that I tried Herbalife myself.
What changed with Herbalife?
Margaret: After two days on the program I felt better. I had so much energy, I didn’t even mind cleaning the house after work. Over time, I lost 30 pounds on the Program. Then I switched to another Program and lost another 24 pounds. I’ve also gone from a dress size 18 to a loose 7.
Timothy: And I lost 45 pounds and dropped four inches from my waist.
Why do you think Herbalife worked where other weight-loss programs didn’t?
Timothy: For me, Herbalife isn’t a diet. It’s more a lifestyle. And with my night work schedule, Herbalife is perfect because I can use it on the go, and I know it will sustain me.
What's different in your lives today because of Herbalife?
Timothy: We’ve replaced “couch time” with healthier, more active pastimes, like walking and hiking.
Margaret: Thanks to Herbalife, we’re living life to the fullest every day!

Spring in Her Step |

Spring had always kept herself in shape. But after giving birth to twins–babies four and five– Spring couldn’t lose the excess weight she gained during the pregnancy. Eventually, Spring’s stress from her inability to shed the pounds led to depression. After seeing her mother achieve amazing weight-loss results using Herbalife, Spring decided to give the program a try.
Q: You’ve said your mother provided the inspiration you needed to try Herbalife. How’d that happen?A: My mom told me to start using Herbalife, but she really didn’t have to. I was already inspired by how much weight she lost, how great she looked and how much her health improved after using Herbalife herself.
Q: What changed in your life as a result of Herbalife?A: Everything changed. I went from depressed to happy, from tired to energetic–and from fat to thin! After my last pregnancy, I barely had the energy to get through the day, let alone play with my five kids. Today, I have energy to burn, my depression is gone, and I even make healthier food choices.
Q: Why do you think Herbalife worked where other programs didn’t?A: Two reasons. First, Herbalife is simple. That makes staying on it much easier than with other weight-loss programs. Second, I experienced results right away. I felt more energy my first day on Herbalife–and I’ve felt great ever since!
Diet tip: Drink lots of water!
Loving LifeMaking her Herbalife shakes even tastier: “I love to add berries or banana to my shakes for extra flavor.” Enjoying a healthier life: “I exercise every day now, make healthier food choices and stay away from fried foods and sugar.” The best thing about Herbalife: “It’s given me more than enough energy to keep up with my five children!”*

A life-changing experienceIt took two trips to the hospital for them to rethink their future and do something about it.
"I was an overweight, tired lazy firefighter who weighed 244 pounds," recalls Keith. "I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol and ended up having an angioplasty at 34 years old." Nancy remembers her husband's weight problems all too well, "It was like, 'You lose weight or you’re going to die.'" Then they discovered Herbalife.
An unexpected turnFollowing Herbalife’s Program, Keith was able to transform his body and his health. He started during the feeding-frenzy of the holidays and was encouraged by how much weight he lost between Thanksgiving and Christmas. “Five months later I was able to quit blood-pressure medicine that I had been taking four times a day for eight years,” rejoices Keith.
Continuing his daily regimen of Herbalife products as well as eating the right foods and exercising regularly, Keith is now “loving every day of life” at a stunningly sculpted 204 pounds. Keith also has plenty of new pants. He’s gone from a 44 to a 34! And one other important change: “At the fire station, people see me now and say, ‘I have to know what you’re doing!’”
A source of supportA self-described “worn-out mother of four with daily headaches,” Nancy stood by her husband during his weight loss efforts–but she didn’t stand still for long. She started using Herbalife’s Program and Cell-U-Loss® to “lose 10 stubborn pounds that wouldn’t go away for 19 years.” In just a short time with Herbalife, she lost the weight. “I’m at my eighthgrade weight now,” gleefully exclaims Nancy.*
They were bound for the airport and a 12-day trip to Africa to help construct a children’s orphanage. “Can you imagine,” Nancy reflected, “Keith suffered from overexertion when he tried any activity…and now he’ll be digging ditches!”
SLICE OF LIFENancy: “I now share clothes with my 18-year-old and 13-year-old. I shop in the Junior’s section!”
Keith: “Now I can swim 70 laps in 33 minutes.”
Nancy’s favorite Shake: Dutch Chocolate with soy milk.
Keith’s tip: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Weight-gain doldrumsJossie was stuck in an all too familiar situation–weight loss, weight gain. “That would make me even more depressed, and then I would gain even more weight,” Jossie says. “I couldn’t seem to break out of my rut, and, as a result, I had very little energy and hope for the future.” Years passed, and Jossie wondered if she would ever find a way to take the weight off.
Catchy newspaper adJossie finally found reason for hope when she responded to an Herbalife ad. “Previous diets had failed because they were too hard to follow,” recalls Jossie. “The Herbalife Weight-Management Program was much easier. I didn’t have to count calories and saw results right away.”
Simple, easy resultsJossie is now much more conscious of what she eats. “I also exercise regularly,” notes Jossie. The results are clear to see. “I have lots of energy and can keep up with my grandkids,” Jossie exults. “I easily slip into size 5-6 fashions and have said goodbye to my old size 11-12 clothes.” Jossie’s family and friends have also noticed the 'new Jossie' and she hasn’t been shy about proclaiming Herbalife as the reason for her success.*

“I wanted to be fit, but still enjoy eating my favorite foods.”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 surfingSurfing 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 immediateChester quickly lost nine pounds 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 vigorChester 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.”

For years, Harold and Lori were trim and fit. She was a weightlifter, and he was active in sports. But in their late 30s, a combination of stress and financial difficulties had them turning to food for comfort. Soon, Lori weighed 198 pounds, and Harold topped 200 pounds. “I was feeling pretty miserable,” says Lori. “I didn’t even want to get up in the morning.” Seeking a solution, Lori recalled a sign she had seen advertising Herbalife. The call she made changed their lives.
More energy was the first signLori began following the Herbalife Weight-Management Program. “Harold noticed my energy level increased almost immediately,” she says. “He asked what I was doing and when I told him, he said ‘Why didn’t you tell me? I want to try it!’” Lori recalls. And soon he was on his way to better health, too.
A life-changing experienceIn five months, Lori lost 63 pounds and went from a size 22 to a size 8. In the same period, Harold’s weight fell 57 pounds and his waist shrank from a size 40 to a size 33. Lori has since lost 12 more pounds and more than 65 inches overall. “I get emotional about these products,” says Lori. “Herbalife has given us our lives back. We’re with Herbalife for life.”* Key motivator: “We have more energy and feel great.” Diet tip: “Continue to enjoy the things you like.” Favorite “thin ‘n fit” activity: “Traveling all over the world.”

Weight problems lead to health problemsFrom the age of 15, Dania had fought a losing battle with weight loss. Dieting, bouts of anorexia and bulimia in college and giving birth to four children had made keeping the pounds off almost impossible. She says, “I had ‘fat clothes’ for different weights.” Michael, likewise, had seen his weight increase, but as he says, “Men don’t diet–they just ignore it.”
“We were initially skeptical.”Dania began following Herbalife’s Weight-Management Program. “I would have been happy just to see my energy improve, so the weight loss was a real bonus,” says Dania. Michael saw similar physical changes. And those “fat clothes” that had been part of their lives for so long? “I donated them,” says Dania. “That was a great feeling!”
The results speak for themselvesThey keep their before-and-after photos on business cards and are their own best advertisement for their Herbalife business. Says Dania, “For us, Herbalife is not only a business opportunity–it’s a health opportunity, too!”*

Frustrated by yo-yo dietingSue’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 boostSue 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.*

Nick and Amanda were looking to change their lives. Specifically, Amanda wanted to get in better shape, and Nick felt so tired by the end of the day that he didn’t have the energy to enjoy sports or other activities. "We knew we were too young to feel this way," Nick said.
"We thought we didn’t need it."One day, Amanda found a flyer about Herbalife. Soon afterward, she began the Weight-Management Program and encouraged her husband to start using the products. The couple noticed a difference almost immediately and committed themselves to getting in shape, using Herbalife products and a workout regimen of about three hours each week.
“I feel better now than I did at 19!”Just three months later, the results were apparent: Amanda lost 23 pounds (she eventually dropped 30 pounds) and toned and tightened her body, and Nick had added 22 pounds of muscle. Nick also joined a local semi-pro soccer team, and said that much of the credit for his success goes to Herbalife products.*

Naps were a way of life
As an RN and mother of four, Roseann needed to stay awake and alert both at home and at work. After having her last child, she could barely fit into her nurse's uniform and felt tired and cranky even after a long sleep and daily naps. "At 32, I felt that I was too young to feel so depressed, tired and unmotivated," says Roseann.
Learning from her patientA patient at the hospital where Roseann works introduced her to Herbalife. "My patient's weight-loss history and healthy skin color convinced me that Herbalife products were worth a try. From my first day on the Weight-Management Program, I noticed a positive difference in my attitude and energy level," remembers Roseann.
Investing in her nutritional healthIt took Roseann 12 weeks to lose weight and become smaller than she was before she started to have children. Losing weight also helped Roseann regain her self-esteem. "I chose to invest in my nutritional health and am reaping the rewards of better physical and emotional health without ever having felt hungry or deprived," Roseann exclaims.*
Key motivator: "The day I burst a seam while helping a patient." Diet tip: "Water is a key factor in feeling better and feeling full, so drink lots before snacking."

The high price of weight problemsAs 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 expectationsOne 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 gainsEven 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."

"I lost four dress sizes!" |
Crying in the dressing roomTeased as a child for being skinny, Louise never thought she’d be fat. Although her weight was creeping up steadily with each passing decade, Louise managed to feel and look good into her 40s. Then at age 50, "all of a sudden I found myself fat," Louise reports. Louise finally acknowledged her obesity when she caught herself crying in a department-store dressing room as she tried to squeeze into a size 16.
Another "fad diet?"As a registered nurse, Louise knew being overweight was not good for her health, but she was also skeptical of diet products. Turning to Herbalife in desperation, Louise was surprised to discover "the shakes actually tasted good, I had increased energy and wasn’t hungry!" Louise lost 40 pounds total, going from a size 16 down to a size 8.
Healthy bonus: no more allergiesUsing Herbalife’s Weight-Management Program, Louise took off inches despite the fact that she was not on any type of formal exercise program. Louise now has excellent health, and as an added bonus, "I found myself able to breathe and not having to take my allergy prescription that I had been on for 15 years!" Louise also credits Ocular Defense Formula with improvement in her night vision.**

" 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."

" 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.*"

Find out what actual ShapeScan™ users are saying and how you can maximize your business as well.
Leslie Stanford, Chairman's Club
I know that whenever somebody really sticks to the program we recommend based on their body composition, their results are phenomenally higher than the folks we just give a generalized program to.
The ShapeScan™ Analyzer is more accurate, it gives them more information and it allows me to be a better Herbalife Distributor in making recommendations based on their body compositions. So, that's what we're doing and most of the people in my organization are using the ShapeScan™ Analyzer and loving it.
Debi Katz, President’s Team
And that's the thing about the ShapeScan™ Analyzer - it is providing something, anybody can do it, it's a professional service, and there's no other machine like it.
There isn't anything out there that shows the body fat percent in such an accuracy and also the Resting Metabolic Rate, and some of these things that are just really good information.
Cathy Holum, World Team
I wanted to share about the ShapeScan™ Analyzer because it's really revolutionized my business. I've always been a really great retailer and I'd have to say that since I started using the ShapeScan™ Analyzer, my volume has almost doubled.
Every client that I get goes on the ShapeScan™ Analyzer. It's just so much more professional. The accuracy of actually being able to truthfully say to people we customize a program for you. It's individualized. These are your numbers, your lean muscle mass, your body fat, your resting metabolism, your protein intake…and then their results are phenomenal because you’ve got such a level of accuracy with the machine that they’re getting incredible results and then your customer retention is fabulous.
The other thing is after you do that for them, when they get that education and you ask them if it's been beneficial for them at the end of the conversation, what it does is it really opens up them giving you referrals. Who in your life do you love that's not feeling well or that you think could benefit from this evaluation? And then people are a lot more open to giving you referrals because you're going in there and you're able to educate them and give them information that they've never been able to get their hands on before and most people are very, very appreciative of it.
Margaret Mason, Millionaire Team MemberWhat I learned pretty quickly was that the ShapeScan™ Analyzer is just another way to talk to people. In my group, we have taken it to school in the morning and scanned moms dropping off their children and we've scanned teachers on their lunch hours. We've participated in bridal shows and we've scanned participants in charity fund-raising walks and runs. We've scanned people at community shows and following nutritional seminars at the county library. We've scanned parents watching their kids' baseball and soccer games. We've scanned at lots and lots of home parties (our favorite) and tail gate parties. We've even scanned people in costume following a Civil War Re-enactment!
Particularly with the new 2.0 ShapeScan™ Analyzer, people are very eager to see their results. Having a print-out just seems to give more credibility to what you're saying. And now, with the percentage of body fat and other information that is being given, we're finding that people treat their results more seriously. There's less of a "Well, I'll try this and see" attitude in favor of a "Now I know what I have to do" attitude. |

When Doug noticed a few pounds creep on after the birth of his first child, he didn’t give it much thought. And when professional success led to client dinners out, carb-heavy foods–and more pounds–Doug still didn’t worry. Eventually, though, Doug realized the weight was draining his energy and endangering his health. That’s when he began a ShapeWorks® weight-loss program. And whom does Doug credit for his inspiration? His longtime friend, Herbalife CEO Michael O. Johnson.
Had you tried to lose weight before?Doug: It was always in the back of my mind. At one point I hired a personal trainer and cut out most dairy, but that didn’t last.
How’d you get started on ShapeWorks®?Doug: Michael Johnson and I have been close friends, almost brothers, for 20 years. When he spoke about Herbalife, I knew it was time for a change in my life. I can’t thank him enough for that.
What did you notice first about your ShapeWorks® program?Doug: The shakes taste great–better than regular milkshakes. And they’re healthy! I was also amazed at how quickly I dropped pounds, shed inches and felt more energy.
What motivated you to keep at it?Doug: It was Michael. How could I stop with my great friend calling me every day and asking, “How are you doing?”*

*An extensive questionnaire generated responses from more than 200 U.S. Herbalife Independent Distributors about their weight-loss programs and results. They reported weight loss ranging from 4 pounds to 167 pounds and a reduced body mass index (BMI) of 1.5 points to 24.1 points, suggesting that consumption of Herbalife® products is associated with weight loss and improvement in BMI in those ranges..
