I am getting married in December this year and don’t want to be a fat bride so knew it was time to get serious about losing weight!! I was in a position where my weight was spiraling out of control, I was wearing size 20/22 clothes and doing no exercise, skipping meals and sitting at a desk from dawn til’ dusk! When I did eat, my portion sizes were enormous and I would end up finishing other people’s food! Shocking!
When I first spoke to Sarah and she mentioned Herbalife, I was a little skeptical, I had tried loads of diets in the past and never managed to stick to them…..(I have zero willpower!!)…Sarah explained how Herbalife works and made it sound easy!! 5 months on, I have to say – IT IS EASY!!!
I started Herbalife in the middle of January and have managed to stick to it ever since, in fact I can’t imagine not having shakes!! I have fallen into a good routine with it and stick to it 100% during the week but then allow myself a cheeky glass or 3 of wine at the weekend and still go out for meals. I have learned that it is all about choices….I phoned Sarah once after a particularly bad weekend and said that I had been bad…..”ah, but have you?” she said…..She asked if I had been as bad as I would have been before Herbalife – “No way” I said!!!! (I had been to Wagamamma’s and had Edamame, Chicken Itame and Sorbet for desert. In the past I would have had Deep fried prawns, Fried Noodles and Cheesecake!!!!)
My Daily RoutineI have a Formula 1 Shake and my supplements for breakfast – Usually just a plain strawberry flavour with skimmed milk & Personalised Protein Powder, a piece of fruit or low fat snack mid morning and then my tablets and another shake for lunch – I tend to put a banana and raspberries or strawberries in this one – I like to vary it!!!!, I usually don’t eat anything then until I have my dinner. I don’t feel hungry anymore, the shakes fill you up for hours! I even manage to resist the biscuits & cakes that my work colleagues seem to eat every afternoon!!
When is comes to dinner, It seems strange but since using Herbalife products, Paul and I have actually started to get more adventurous with our meals!! It is the only “solid” meal we have in a day so we like to make the most of it!!!! We have however, cut our portion sizes down and try not to eat too many carbohydrates late at night.
I also swear by Thermogetics (Herbal Beverage) – It is fab!!! I have a cup with hot water in lemon first thing in the morning and then have it with squash throughout the day. I have more recently started to take Thermo Complete , these have helped to speed up my weight-loss and when I feel the need to snack, I take one and the urge goes away!
I drink 1 – 2 litres of water a day and as a result of this and using the Herbalife products, my skin is so much better than it used to be, I have more energy and feel great!!! I said it before but I really can’t imagine life without my shakes!! I am now wearing size 16 / 18 clothes and have recently ordered my wedding dress – Size 14!!! – Bring it on!! – Hopefully they will have to take it in by December!
