Weight Loss Success Stories

Have you ever gone on a weight-loss plan and the only thing that got smaller was your wallet? Are you constantly depriving yourself of your favorite foods because you're on a diet? Or have you given up fighting the battle of the bulge because nothing seems to work?

Jan Mullard once answered "yes" to every question. She dieted her way up to 167 pounds and wore a size 14. Fortunately, Herbalife changed all that. Today, Jan easily slips into a size 4 and has gotten off the diet rollercoaster for good.*

Like Jan, millions of people around the world have safely and effectively lost weight using Herbalife's scientifically advanced Thermojetics® Weight-Management Programs. Formulated with a sophisticated blend of vitamins, minerals and herbal ingredients, this proven-effective line can help fire up your metabolism, decrease your appetite, reduce cravings and boost your energy levels. But more important, with Herbalife you'll get results-fast!

* Your results may vary. Your weight loss will depend on your own body's metabolic response.
** The weight-loss testimonials presented are applicable to the individuals depicted and are not a guarantee of your weight loss nor are they typical. 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.

"Herbalife is the best thing that ever happened to me!"*

"I didn't think about losing weight until my family talked me into trying the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program. It's amazing how losing 12 inches from my waist and fitting into size 31 pants gave me a whole new perspective about myself. Herbalife is the best thing that ever happened to me!"

"Herbalife is a blessing to our whole family!"*

Darlene F. was desperate to feel better. "I remember one day last fall when I was really worried about being overweight, fatigued and having stomach problems. Nothing seemed to help," she says.

"At 178 pounds, I knew if I lost weight I would feel much better."

A few days later Darlene saw an advertisement for a nutritional program to lose weight. "When I called the number it turned out to be Herbalife," Darlene recalls. "I immediately started the Thermojetics® QuickStart Program, along with Aloe Vera Concentrate, and it wasn't long before I lost 28 pounds-but that was only the beginning!"

Darlene soon lost a total of 43 pounds and 15 inches-and went from a "tight" size 13/14 to a size 7/8! Meanwhile, her twin sister, Charlene, noticed Darlene losing weight, but was still skeptical about Herbalife. "It probably sounds strange, but we both had gained the same amount of weight over the years. Now my sister was really trimming down," says Charlene.

Charlene said it seemed for "every pound my sister lost, I gained!" "I finally bought the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program five months after my sister did," relates Charlene, who purchased the products from Darlene. "I started with the QuickStart Program, but soon switched to the Ultimate Program."

Charlene lost 37 pounds in less than two months!

"We weigh the same now as we did in high school-15 years ago!"

With a combined total loss of 80 pounds between them, the twins introduced Herbalife's products to their mother, who has lost 40 pounds.

"Herbalife is a blessing to our whole family!"

"I feel great, thanks to Herbalife!"*

Charlotte C. thought she was at the end of her weight-loss rope until she had an important conversation with her daughter, Myra.

"Most of my adult life, I've been overweight," confirms Charlotte. "I've struggled with late-onset diabetes for the past 18 years. I was never comfortable with being overweight-always self-conscious. "Then, in 1997, I spent Thanksgiving with relatives in New Orleans. My blood-sugar levels shot to a frightening high." "I was concerned with my health, and I needed to do something about it."

Upon returning home, Myra introduced her mother to Herbalife. "During the first three months, I went from a size 22 to a size 14," Charlotte explains. "And after 10 months, I lost a total of 50 pounds and now wear a size 10."

"My blood pressure is down and so are my cholesterol levels!"

Herbalife has helped change Charlotte's attitude toward food, as well. "My loss of weight and inches is consistent," she says. "The snacks have forgotten my name and stopped jumping into my grocery basket. I never feel hungry or deprived, so it's easy to stay on the products."* "I feel great, thanks to Herbalife!"

"I never thought losing close to 100 pounds would be this easy!"*

"I dropped the first 70 pounds in just six-and-a-half months by following the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program! And my waist shrunk over six inches without having to sacrifice my favorite foods! My volleyball game has even improved. I never thought losing close to 100 pounds would be this easy!"*

"As my weight went down, my self-confidence shot way up!"*

After giving birth to her son, Cody, Julie T. weighed 127 pounds. At only 5'1", it was more than she had ever weighed. "I was overweight and my energy level didn't match my urge to keep up with my toddler."

"During this time, I was searching for a way to earn an income while staying home with my child," she recalls. "In August of 1997, I saw a newspaper ad that turned out be Herbalife." "I never felt hungry!"

"I started the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program and lost 17 pounds in the first six weeks! Suddenly I had lots of energy. Even though I cheated sometimes, I never felt hungry with two shakes a day, the supplements and one regular meal," says Julie. "I lost 22 pounds, going from a size 9/10 to a size 3. As my weight went down, my self-confidence shot way up!"

"I no longer shy away from social events," says Julie. "Today, at 30, I feel like a teenager again, and people tell me I look like someone in her early 20s. I've found there are many people like me who only want to lose 20 or 30 pounds."

"Six months after using the Ultimate Program, I lost 12 inches from my waist-and I went from size 50 pants to a size 38!"*

Dempsey J. owned an auto parts store in 1995, but he had to rely on employees for any hard labor, such as changing a customer's tire. "I had problems bending or stooping, and my feet and legs became numb if I sat down for more than 30 minutes," he says.

"I weighed 342 pounds, and I was tired of dieting."

"A good friend sent Herbalife Distributor, Ellie Webber, to see me," recalls Dempsey. "She followed me around the store for two hours! Finally, she asked how much I spent on meals and convinced me Herbalife would save me money.

"I didn't want my wife to know I'd spent money on one more weight-loss plan," says Dempsey. "But the results started to show right away, and she kept asking me what was going on."

"Six months after using the Ultimate Program, I lost 12 inches from my waist-and I went from size 50 pants to a size 38!"

Dempsey has maintained his 105-pound weight loss for more than three years. He is now a scout master for his two sons' Boy Scouts troop, and he readily takes part in their outdoor endurance activities. "I'm doing things with my sons today I wouldn't even try before Herbalife, such as rock climbing, a 75-mile bike ride and a five-day canoe trip!"

"With the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program I was able to eat the foods I like and still lose weight."*

Eleanor M. had been a petite woman most of her life-that is, until she had two children. "For the first time, I gained weight, eventually ballooning up 65 pounds," she says. "I weighed 170 pounds and no matter what I did, I couldn't lose weight."

"I tried all the weight-loss products on the market and counted every gram of food that went into my mouth, but nothing helped," says Eleanor. "I was ashamed when I didn't lose a single pound. When I did lose weight, I always gained it back, plus more!" "For 15 years I fought a losing battle with ‘yo-yo' dieting to get my old figure back!"

"When I was introduced to Herbalife in 1995, I lost six pounds in two weeks and began to feel incredible amounts of energy," says Eleanor. "Suddenly, I had hope that my life would get better." "I never thought of Herbalife as a 'diet!'"

"With the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program I was able to eat the foods I like and still lose weight," Eleanor recounts. "In fact, I never felt deprived, and it was reassuring to know I was approaching weight loss in a sensible, comfortable way." "My body is so smooth and toned, I can even wear a bikini!"

"I lost 100 pounds in just eight months!"*

As a professional athlete, Jeanette S. used to be able to eat as much as she wanted. Once she ended her athletic career, she continued eating that way-and gained weight as a result.

"At 250 pounds and a size 20, I was always tired."

"After my mom and my grandma started me on Herbalife's Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I immediately felt better," Jeanette recalls.

"I lost 100 pounds in just eight months!"

When she discovered she was pregnant with her second child, Jeanette was excited but concerned that she'd gain the weight back. Instead, she maintained her initial 100-pound weight loss and shed 10 additional pounds-in just six weeks after the baby was born!

"I lost 15 more pounds and shrunk to a size 4," Jeanette says. "I have so much more self-confidence!"*

"I lost 52 pounds in the first two-and-a-half months!"*

John D. recalls life at 340 pounds, "I would fall asleep at the drop of a hat, and I couldn't even fit in seats at theaters or restaurants comfortably anymore. My weight was really starting to get in the way of my life."

"I decided to give Herbalife's Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program a try." "I was skeptical at first-but since I felt so much better after just one day, my doubts melted away," John remembers.

"I lost 52 pounds in the first two-and-a-half months!" "In just over a year, I lost 115 pounds!" John exudes. "And since the Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-Carb Program came out, I've lost 25 more pounds."*

"After going from size 54 pants to a size 36, I like myself so much better."

"I lost 51 pounds and went from a size 16 to a 6!"*

Lily and Bill S. say they both had a weight problem since childhood. "I tried almost every diet known at least twice, and failed miserably," says Lily.

"Two years after the birth of my fourth child, I weighed 183 pounds." "I thought my life was over, but I was introduced to Herbalife," reports Lily. "I began the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program and lost an incredible 51 pounds in six months! Soon after I started the products, I began to feel better than I had in a long time-and I looked better than I did in high school!"

"I lost 51 pounds and went from a size 16 to a 6!" Bill, Lily's husband, was skeptical at first about losing weight with Herbalife. "I didn't think it would work, but I couldn't help but notice that Lily was shedding weight rather quickly," he says.* Bill lost 40 pounds in three months and went from a size 40 pant to a 34!

At 119 pounds and wearing a size 6, Marlo no longer dreads shopping for clothes.*

"I had gained a lot of weight after having four children, and I was pretty snappy most of the time," says Marlo H.. Marlo weighed 179 pounds and wore a size 16.

"Not only was I losing weight within a month of starting the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, my neighbors were commenting about my improved disposition. My husband, Jason, was also wowed by my results, so he began the program, too," she says. At 119 pounds and wearing a size 6, Marlo no longer dreads shopping for clothes.

Jason's results were also amazing. "I never thought of myself as overweight at 222 pounds- that is, until everyone told me how much better I look now at 161 pounds," explains Jason.* Jason lost 50 pounds in three months - and another 11 pounds on the maintenance program!

"In a period of four months, I went from a size 14 to a size 6."*

Mirna D. never knew what it was like to be slim. And by the fall of 1995, she had reached an all-time high of 195 pounds. "Even when I was a teenager, I was wearing a size 14!" she recalls. "Later, when I had my baby, I went to a size 16. I was always fighting my weight. And I tried all kinds of diets. As soon as I'd lose the weight, I'd gain it back."

"My brothers had a nickname for me: gorda-it means ‘fat!'" Mirna learned about Herbalife while on the job. "My supervisor made a Formula 1 shake for me. I tried it and thought it was very good! He told me that if you have a shake for breakfast and lunch, you'll lose weight," she recalls.

"In a period of four months, I went from a size 14 to a size 6." While Mirna's weight decreased, her energy levels increased. "I always used to want to sleep after lunch," she adds. "But after being on the products, I have all this energy. I don't really like to exercise, and I didn't have to in order to lose weight." "Eating properly, drinking Thermojetics® Herbal Concentrate and taking Thermojetics® Green and Beige gives me all the energy I need."

Another aspect about Herbalife's weight-loss program that delights Mirna is the freedom it gives her to eat whatever she desires. "My brothers are amazed," she relates. "They can't believe I can eat many of the things I enjoy and still be this thin. "People need to realize that they have to make up their minds if they want to lose weight," Mirna adds. "Don't listen to other people. Listen to what your body is saying to you. Follow the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program and the weight will come off."*

"Suddenly I was getting dates, running three miles a day and learning to scuba dive!"*

In 1996, Robert H. was not living the active lifestyle of most twenty-somethings. "As a severe asthmatic with chronic fatigue, I had to lay down every afternoon because I couldn't keep my eyes open," relates Robert.

"Poor nutritional habits contributed to my health problems-and weighing 220 pounds didn't help either!" "When a friend of mine told me his sister lost 10 pounds in only two weeks with Herbalife's products, I purchased the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program and followed the directions," Robert recalls. "In six months, I lost 65 pounds and 81/2 inches from my waist!"

"From the beginning, I had more energy and felt better. My confidence zoomed, because I was able to buy better clothes, in the latest styles. My pant size went down from a 42 to a 32." "Suddenly I was getting dates, running three miles a day and learning to scuba dive!"

"In the past, I would never have tried scuba diving, and now it's my favorite sport. Soon, I'm planning to explore a sunken ship in the New York harbor-which is something I always wanted to do!" Robert exalts.

"As soon as I started Herbalife's Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I saw results."*

"As soon as I started Herbalife's Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I saw results. After only four days, my skirts started getting looser. In just three-and-a-half months, I shrunk from a size 13/14 to a 3/4."*

"My life is much better now-I've been thin and healthy for the past 15 years!"*

"I gained weight progressively over the years due to heredity and the fact that I just love food so much," laughs Said H., who weighed 280 pounds when he started using Herbalife's products 15 years ago.

He had tried eating less and exercising, but nothing helped him shed much weight-it only left him perpetually hungry and unsatisfied. "I could hardly climb three stairs without running out of breath." Said saw a program about Herbalife on TV one night, called a Distributor right away, and started on Herbalife's Weight-Management Program as soon as he received the products. "During the first 60 days on the program, I lost 60 pounds!" "I lost 20 more pounds over the next five months, and I felt absolutely great the whole time," recalls Said.

Nine years later, he lost an additional 40 pounds. Overall, Said's pant size shrunk from a 54 to a 39, and now he's down to just 160 pounds.* "My life is much better now-I've been thin and healthy for the past 15 years!"

"In six months Sandra lost 65 pounds, going from a size 18 dress to a size 5!"*

Sandra S. desperately wanted to lose weight. "I would send my husband into the supermarket while I waited in the car so no one would see me," recalls Sandra.

At 182 pounds, Sandra lived in sweat pants and oversized T-shirts to hide her body. When her husband, Maurice, came home one day early last year with information about Herbalife, Sandra jumped at the chance to use the products. "I told him I'd already heard about Herbalife's great weight-loss products, and I just had to try them!" In six months Sandra lost 65 pounds, going from a size 18 dress to a size 5!

"I'd lost 56 pounds in only five-and-a-half months and thought I'd reached my goal, so I started on the maintenance program," says Sandra. "Yet, in two weeks, I lost another nine pounds!" "It's wonderful to be able to dress up in a beautiful cocktail dress or put on a bathing suit whenever I want to. Thanks to Herbalife's Cell-U-Loss®, my cellulite problem has practically disappeared, too," adds Sandra.

"Now that I weigh 117, my husband winks at me all the time-telling me I have the legs of a 19 year old!" Maurice remembers thinking he wasn't really overweight-even though he had to squeeze himself into size 36 pants. "The truth is, I was growing out of my clothes faster than my children," he says. "I'd always figured people had to go hungry to lose weight, and I was determined not to do that. However, with the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I lost 10 pounds in 10 days-and I wasn't hungry at all," Maurice stresses. After only two months, Maurice lost 40 pounds- going from size 36 pants to a 32! "I have so much more energy, and I run with the kids to the mailbox every day," Maurice beams. "It's great to know I'll be able to join them in sports as they grow up."

"I had all this energy - I was like a whole new person!"*

When you weigh 304 pounds and constantly suffer from heartburn, working in a bakery can be a chancy proposition. Such was the case for Scott Larson.

Scott was a perfect candidate for the Herbalife weight-loss message when he heard it just before Labor Day in 1995. "It was a weight-loss flyer that came over the FAX machine at work," recalls Scott. "And I had just gotten out of a meeting with the insurance company-they had just given me a high-risk rating!"

"I lost 50 pounds in the first three months. I had all this energy-I was like a whole new person!" Continues Scott, "Following the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I went from size 50 to size 38 pants. And the insurance company reassigned me to 'preferred risk.' All this, in just one year!"

"Herbalife isn't just a ‘diet'-it's a nutrition program. It allows your body to get healthy!" Concludes Scott, "I had a physical, and my doctor couldn't believe I wasn't exercising. Even people who don't think they have any health problems will be amazed at how much better they'll feel after starting this program!"*

"Within a few months, my waist had shrunk 10 inches-and my life was remarkably different."*

Steve M. had a 50" waist and weighed 268 pounds when his cousin came for a visit in 1994. "She told me about Herbalife and the weight-loss results she had seen," says Steve. "At the age of 38, my weight and cholesterol were so high I was considered a 'walking heart attack!'"

"My skepticism was soon out the window when I tried the products. I never felt deprived or hungry, and my energy level shot through the roof," recalls Steve. "Not only that, my wife told me how much money we were saving on our grocery bill."

"Within a few months, my waist had shrunk 10 inches-and my life was remarkably different."

Previously laid off from a 17-year job as a computer-systems manager, Steve was working nights as a limo driver when he started the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program. His dramatic weight loss prompted so many inquiries, he became a Distributor. "I used to huff and puff just walking around the house, but now I walk or ride a bike several miles a day-and I can keep up with my seven year old!"

"I weighed 162 and wore a size 10 dress...now I wear a size 8."*

"I weighed 162 and wore a size 10 dress when I started using the new Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-Carb Program.

Now I wear a size 8, and all of my curves are back in the right place. I've been rewarded with a 'free shopping spree' inside my own closet, and my husband says I look just like the beautiful lady in our wedding pictures."*

"After wearing a size 12 for so long, it's a wonderful feeling to put on a size 4!"*

"I tried everything to lose weight," says Tonya J.. "I walked three miles a day, skipped meals, cut back on fat and calories-but nothing worked! I'd even been a slave to aerobics, to no avail. One of my biggest problems was retaining fluids."

"It got to the point I couldn't even get my wedding ring on!" "I hated the way my stomach always looked big, no matter what clothes I wore or how I tried to stand and hold it in," says Tonya. "A friend of mine introduced me to Herbalife, but I didn't believe it would work for me."

"I lost a whole pant size the first month!" The Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program is so easy and the results are so amazing! The products eat away the inches-and my water retention problem quickly subsided. As my body got thinner, my energy went up-and I wasn't even exercising!"

"After wearing a size 12 for so long, it's a wonderful feeling to put on a size 4!"

"Eventually, my husband tried the products too-and lost 30 pounds," says Tonya. "Every once in awhile we have to pinch ourselves to make sure everything that's happened is really true!"

"People consistently remark that I look 10 years younger than I really am."*

"I first heard about Herbalife in 1995 from a friend of mine," recalls Vickie D., a registered nurse and mother of one. She had more energy than I did, and she was shrinking. I asked her, ‘What are you doing?' She then told me about Herbalife."

"The demands of nursing drained me. Every time I sat down, I'd start to nod off. And no one bothered to tell me I was getting fat." "Because I'm a nurse, I was skeptical at first. I didn't want to spend money on something that wasn't going to work. But I figured I had two choices: continue feeling horrible and buying bigger clothes-or lose some weight!" she explains.

Opting for the latter, Vickie began noticing results soon after starting on the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program. "Immediately, I started feeling more energy-waking up before the alarm clock rang, eyes brighter, no headaches. I also started getting smaller around the waist!"

"My mental outlook also improved-a 360-degree turnaround," adds Vickie. "My self-esteem improved. My hair was shinier, and I felt like I was back to being the person I used to be." "Herbalife gave back my self-confidence." Concludes Vickie, "I look at my old photographs now and I say to myself, ‘Who is that woman?' People consistently remark that I look 10 years younger than I really am. I'm so thankful for Herbalife."*
