“No more fast food cravings.” 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. # Drink Liftoff™ instead of diet soda. It will give you stable energy and you won’t have the urge to grab a soda. # Break the Protein Bars in half and freeze them for snacking.

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 allergies Using Herbalife’s Weight-Management Program, Louise took off inches despite the fact that she was not on any type of formal exercise program.
