Regularly updated…

I post regular updates from a few clients who have volunteered to have their progress tracked AS they are using the products – however these are limited by the legislation on what I say about their weight loss.

On this page, you will find a combination of “Before & After” pictures and other stand alone Testimonials. Although we have a full range of nutrition products, the testimonials tend to be biased towards Weight Management results as they are more obvious and also these are the results that more people are willing to share. If you have a testimonial that you’d like to share, please let me know!

Nutrition & Weight Management

Sarah

You can read my full testimonial on the “About” page – here are a few pictures showing me on Day 3 of using the Herbalife nutrition products and again after 3 months.

Sarah – Day 3 & Month 3

Damian

Damian is my husband. He is naturally a large guy, and being tall (over 6′3″) he can carry quite a bit of extra weight without much trouble at all. He also has a big appetite and naturally likes to eat all the things that are “bad” – i.e. high in saturated fat, salt and sugar and low in nutrition. Herbalife has been a great way to get some good nutrition into him – he loves the shakes and also finds that he gets a great boost from Thermojetics – which is also a way to surreptitiously increase his water intake (he’d prefer coffee or carbonated drinks to water any day!). As he doesn’t often weigh, we didn’t realise the changes he’d had to his body and weight until we looked over some photos taken a few months apart – just before starting using Herbalife products and then a couple of months afterwards. You can see for yourself.

Paul

In advance of his wedding  in December 2008, Paul decided he wanted to make some major lifestyle changes and included Herbalife products as part of his healthy active lifestyle. Here are his before and after pictures. His wife’s testimonial is below.

Emma C

Emma is Paul’s wife. She contacted me in January 2008 to help with a Herbalife programme for them both to follow before the wedding. Emma set herself a goal of getting from size 20/22 to a size 14 wedding dress! As you can see – SHE DID IT!

Emma on Day 1, after 6 months & on her wedding day

We have now been using Herbalife products for a year and are so happy that we came across them when we did! On our wedding day, I had lost 100cm around my body and managed to get into my size 14 wedding dress!!!! Something that seemed totally unachievable when I was waddling around as a size 20 / 22! Paul also lost loads, he was 14 cm smaller round the waist and felt great.

Our wedding day was amazing and what made it even more special was the number of compliments we received about how great we looked and how much weight we had lost – It certainly does amazing things for your confidence!!! We have had a couple of weeks off over Christmas and New Year but are back to it again now as we are off on honeymoon to Thailand in 4 weeks so want to make sure we look our best for that!

I can’t recommend Herbalife enough – We love it!  Thanks Sarah for all your help & support, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Emma C (now “Emma H”)  – January 2009

Nicole – “Healthy Breakfast”

As a single mum of two girls under 5, running 2 businesses – I was eating on the hop, picking off my kids’ plates, and was always too tired to cook for myself in the evening. It’s unsurprising that I was lacking energy in mornings and throughout the day, and felt I was running myself into the ground, getting grumpy, bad skin and afternoon headaches. I realised that I had to take a step to sorting out my diet and Sarah suggested Herbalife shakes. Things changed! With only one shake a day for breakfast, I have more energy generally, look better and have stopped grabbing naughty high carb snacks to get me through the day. It has not solved all my daily challenges, but it is definitely a good place to start. Thanks Sarah!

Stuart

Stuart is a friend who emigrated to Australia before I started using the Herbalife products. A few months later he saw me on Skype and it wasn’t long before he was also using the products! Not only did he manage to lose his excess weight but he has increased his energy levels – there are rumours of him dancing around his flat since he’s been powered by Thermojetics!!

Danyelle

Danyelle started using the products in July 2007 – the second photo was taken after losing 3 stone.

Danyelle – Before & After 3 stone

This is her updated story in January 2009:

In July 2007 I weighed 15st 9 and my life was a mess.

I had been trying for a baby for 6 years with no success so decided to change my life around. I’d had 4 attempts at IVF before then and nothing had worked so I thought ‘enough’s enough’ booked a trip to Australia, bought a sports car and I started Herbalife with Sarah’s help… and I stuck to it. I was not hungry like many other diets I had been on and I liked the taste (of the products).

By November 2007 when I went to Australia I was 12st and feeling great and even started running and look part in a 10k race and finished it. On 8th January 2008 I took a pregnancy test and it was positive – YES I had fallen pregnant naturally.

Throughout the 6 years I’d hidden behind the fact that it was the weight that stopped me getting pregnant and just wallowed in self pity and ate more.

On 20th September 2008 my beautiful daughter Maegan was born weighing a healthy 7lb and 12.5. I am back on Herbalife (weight management) now and breastfeeding and hopefully a brother or sister for Maegan will follow….

Jen

When Jen was first recommended the products by a friend, she wanted to resume a training schedule at the gym and needed some extra nutritional support while she got going as well as hoping to lose a little bit of excess weight from her thighs. Jen followed the Weight Loss Programme (incorporating additional Protein to help with lean muscle development) for almost a month before Christmas and then Weight Maintenance during January, and as you can see from her pictures, she looks fantastic after losing 14 cm from her thighs, 4 cm from her waist and 2 cm from her bust.

Lynda

Lynda is in her 50s and before using the products felt tired, bloated and old! Using the Herbalife products she has lost some weight (we don’t know how much as she never weighs but she is wearing clothes that didn’t fit before), she is much more energetic and alive, and evidently also more youthful! This is an extract from an email she sent about her love of the products:

I bumped into my friend a few days after starting my programme and she said that I already looked different! I’ve been on the products for almost a year now, and I still feel full of energy, which has promoted my self-confidence, and everyone is telling me how young I look…and guessing my age between MID 30’s AND EARLY 40’s (honestly!!!!!)

Targeted Nutrition

One of our clients recently started using Schizandra Plus. This is Anita’s update after taking the product for a few weeks:

Well, I said I thought it was working ‘mysteriously’, that’s because at first I felt like I was going through a detox, but I am glad I recognised the symptoms and stayed with it, adding some additional measures to speed the detox along (more water, veggies and fruits). Conveniently this is just what Herbalife advises, too.

As I mentioned, B6 is one of those vitamins which I have taken in the past, and has an almost instant uplifting effect, on my mood. Consequently, I think I’ve found it easer to mend my ways instead of making excuses.

In the past couple of weeks I’ve begun to notice different improvements. I think the first was how much clearer the whites of my eyes seem. There’s also a much healthier pink around the base of my fingernails, which have tended to be pale and ridged since I got the arthritis/psoriasis. Also, the dark circles under my eyes are fading and best of all the annoying cough that lingered after having the flu has finally gone.

Thanks very much for all the above!

Body Care

Sandra

Sandra took part in a Herbalife product test prior to the launch of the Body Buffing Scrub and Contouring Cream which are designed to reduce thigh circumference and help increase skin elasticity. Here are the visible results after 70 days.

Weight Gain

These are a selection of Herbalife testimonials from people who have successfully used the products to gain weight.

Jolanta Kursak, Belgium

This is an ‘official’ Testimonial submitted by a customer in Belgium who had been suffering from Anorexia

As a result of severe emotional turmoil I suffered from the life-threatening eating disorder, Aneroxia Nervosa, for 18 months. At the height of my disease my weight dropped to a low of 36 kilos. Because of the lack of nutrition in my body, I lost my hair and fingernails. I also lost my dignity.

Although I was having weekly vitamin injections from my doctor, it didn’t seem to help. I continued to get weaker and my desire for food diminished even more.

After attending an Herbalife meeting, Jolanta was so impressed with what she heard, she decided to try the products herself:

I started drinking Formula 1 shakes up to 10 times a day. Within seven days my vitality returned and, for the first time in months, I wanted to eat solid food. Little by little I began consuming regular meals – always finishing up with a Formula 1 shake.

Quite simply, the products changed my life. Within the first four months I gained nearly 7 kilos. My hair and fingernails started to grow again and my body came back to life. Over time I continued to put on weight until I reached my goal of 56 kilos.

I look and feel terrific today because I continue to use these incredible products on a daily basis. And my self-respect and confidence have returned…for good. I’ve even been able to have a child which I couldn’t have done while suffering from aneroxia nervosa.

Herbalife is my life.

Carsten Schipper, age 35

This is an ‘official’ Herbalife testimonial from Carsten who struggled to gain weight for some time before using the Herbalife products.

weight gain-beforeweight gain-after
Carsten at 69 kg and a healthier 80 kg

“I am 2 meters in length and I never have weight more than 72 kilos. That of course is not enough. All my life I am trying to gain some weight, but I never succeeded. Doctors, diets, different things from the stores; nothing worked. If even your doctor gives you the advice to eat much fat, cream and butter, you are really wondering what you are doing. I mean, probably your cholesterol will gain some points, but I don’t think that is a very healthy manner to gain weight?!

My body fat-index was so low it couldn’t even be measured…. I had daily 3 Herbalife Formula 1 meals after my normal food, and with that the Formula 2 also 3 times a day.

Now I gained more than 12 kilos in weight, and feel fit and healthy. My energy level had clearly increased, and I also have more resistance against viruses.

One advice for people that want to gain weight: don’t make the shakes too thick, just try to keep them drinkable. I ate 3 shakes per day, after my normal meals, and got a very full feeling if I used for instance yoghurts. They just drink a little easier when you use juices or half-juice/half yoghurt. Now I eat 2 or 3 shakes a day, that depends on what I am doing that day, and I feel very good with that.

Furthermore I take the following Herbalife supplements: Formula 2, Vitamins and Minerals, NRG, Herbalifeline, RoseOx, Cell Activator and I drink a lot of Thermojetics. The NRG and the Thermojetics herbal drink give me sufficient energy at my evening- and night shifts, which basically means that I don’t have to do my work yawning anymore. Herbalife is and stays a precious supplement for my daily diet!

Olly Freeman – Elite Triathlete, UK

Herbalife is Official Nutrition Sponsor of UK-based Under 20 European Junior Triathlon Champion and World Junior Duathlon Champion Olly Freeman, who intends to represent Great Britain in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Olly, 21, is past Double Junior European Triathlon Champion and a Double World Junior Duathlon Champion. He was voted “Youth Athlete of the Year” by the UK-based sports publication “220 Triathlon”

Olly says

Herbalife is a world leader in science-based nutritional, weight management and supplementation programmes for a healthy active lifestyle and I will be incorporating a number of the company’s products in my nutritional strategy.

Elaine Young – Pro Beach Volleyball Olympic Medalist 2004

My name is Elaine Young (aka EY) I’m 35 years old and am a professional beach volleyball player on the AVP tour. My partner Rachel Wacholder and I are #2 team on tour and recently beat the “untouchable” Gold Medallists Misty May and Keri Walsh in a nationally televised final on NBC. We are improving everyday and expect to beat them again in the near future. The victory was no coincidence for me personally.

I signed an endorsement deal with Liftoff/Herbalife 2 months ago and immediately began using a variety of the products. As a result I have had huge changes in my body, mind, and energy levels. I make a shake every morning before starting my day, using Formula 1 and 3. I also take the Formula 2, multivitamins everyday, Niteworks every evening; and Herbalifeline.

I have an abundance of energy, feel as though I never tire and also am mentally sharp. Liftoff has really helped me focus. I mix one tablet before most matches and feel instantly energized, but not shaky, and very focused. I’ve received many compliments on my lean physique, which makes me feel good.

But what really makes me feel great is being on top of my game and competing every weekend for 1st place in tournaments, and having a clear mind and energy to do so. Thank you for not only bringing me on as part of the Liftoff team, but for helping me be a more confident, fit, energetic pro beach volleyball player!

Andy Hill – Pro Footballer (Man Utd)

Andy Hill played professional football for Manchester United, Bury, Manchester City, Port Vale and now coaches in the United States PDL League and Nevada’s Olympic Development Programme.

I was introduced to Herbalife products whilst coaching in Nevada in the United States. Several of the players started taking the products the results of which were quite astonishing

After two months of using the Herbalife products, the players took a physical condition test which revealed that their blood was in excellent condition, their cholesterol was at a very healthy level and that all the players taking the products were in a lot better shape compared to previous tests.

They recovered far more quickly after exercise. I am totally convinced that these products will help improve the sports performance of any one who uses them. Pre Season in Nevada starts in March and all my players will be using them throughout the season.

Vic Charles, MBE – British, European & World Karate Champion

I have won pretty much every major karate title including British, European, Commonwealth and World Heavyweight Titles. I was the first karate athlete to be awarded an MBE for services to karate. I am currently the Performance Director for the British Sport Karate Association and now coach several elite karate champions.

I believe that to achieve and maintain competitive edge in any active sporting arena you have to have excellent nutrition.

I understand this from both a coaching and competitor’s perspective.

The unique balance and convenience of Herbalife products has definitely helped me in recovery after intense activity. That’s why I am recommending it for my elite squad of athletes.

David Mason – Triathlete, UK

Triathlon is an endurance sport consisting of swimming, cycling and running in succession without a break. The distances I personally race at vary from 750m-swim/20km cycle/5km run to 3.8km-swim/180km cycle/42km run. The training required must reflect the distances you race: hence the importance of high quality nutrition to aid recovery from intensive training, which in turn leads to increased performance.

On a personal level, pre-January 2003 would have seen me trying to combat the effects of “over-training” with constant fluctuations in weight, reduced vitality levels, poor training and race performances plus numerous colds. Very frustrating!

I was introduced to the Herbalife business in January 2003 and immediately started using the products I had in my I.B.P. The nutrition I was receiving enabled me to increase my training volume safely within a short period of time, aid recovery from hard sessions, and has ultimately increased my performance.

I would use the F1 and Protein Powder twice a day to supplement my existing diet. Once as an addition to my porridge/cereal for breakfast and an additional shake directly after a harder training session. I would normally train twice daily for up-to 16hrs/week. The addition of Schizandra and Rose Ox has also enhanced my ability to recover, powerful antioxidants and the ability to utilise the oxygen in your blood plays a key role for endurance athletes looking for that extra edge the legal way!

2003 saw me qualify for the World Triathlon Championships as part of the British Age Group Team (30-34) in Queenstown-New Zealand, smash my Personal Best over Half-Marathon from 1hr21mins to 1hr16mins and already in early 2004 beat my 10k run time on a hilly course by 45 seconds. Herbalife Sports Nutrition really is THE BEST!

Tony Underwood – International Rugby player

The Herbalife products have allowed me to keep in just as good a shape as I had when I was playing top class rugby. My full time job currently consists of sitting in a cockpit hours on end, it is a very sedentary existence.

I have now taken control of my nutrition and not only have I stopped middle-aged spread, thankfully, I have discovered these products and they have made a huge difference to me. I am positive that whatever your challenges the products can help you too.

Don’t look back with regret as I do now. You have the gift of good nutrition right now. Take the products, feel the difference and enjoy a new beginning.

Ernie Shavers – Double World Heavyweight Contender

As I look back over my boxing career, my only regret was not having Herbalife nutritional products in my life at that time. I started boxing in January 1967 and went on to have a successful amateur boxing career and became national AAU Heavyweight Championship in 1969. Later that year I started my professional boxing career that was when the legend of my punching power started to unfold.

My résumé of opponents resembles a “Who’s Who” of heavyweight boxing history. Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, Jimmy Ellis, Jerry Quarry, Jimmy Young, Joe Bugner, James “Quick” Tillis, Randal “Tex” Cobb, Roger “Tiger” Williams, Ron Lyle, Henry Clark, Chuck Leslie, Vincente Rondon, Bernardo Mercado, among many others.

The physical demands on your body are immense, especially when you are fighting for the Heavyweight Championship of the World against fighters of Muhammad Ali’s and Larry Holmes’ calibre. It is therefore vital that you nurture your body with the very best nutrition available. Herbalife would have given me a good supply of vitamins and minerals I needed for fuel. When I had Muhammad Ali hurt in the second round, I could have finished him off and not worried about punching myself out. And when I had Larry Holmes down and hurt in the seventh round, I could have finished him off. You see, all I needed was Herbalife nutritional products to become Champion of the World.

I have used a lot of good nutritional products over the years and they have helped, but none of them gave me the energy or can compare to Herbalife nutritional products – they are the best I’ve ever used in my entire life. I am now doing things that I did thirty years ago, with energy to spare. When I am in the gym hitting the heavy bag I feel my punching power is as good as it was when I was in my prime, if not better. My recovery time is much better than it has been for years.

I use Formula 1, Formula 2, Cell Activator, Formula 3, Thermo Complete, Herbal Aloe Concentrate, Extra-Cal Tablets, Herbalifeline, Thermojetics Protein Bars, RoseOx, Schizandra Plus and Protein Supplement Powder.

These products will help to ensure that you “feel the difference” and stay energised throughout the day. I only wish I had these products during my fight career.

More client updates and testimonials are coming soon – watch this space!!!!
