I got serious about my health and starting using Herbalife products on Labor Day 2012. Since then I have lost around 40 pounds, pretty much just maintaining since Thanksgiving, unfortunately. Anyways, why Herbalife? Why not? I had tried every other (legal) method of weight loss except gastric bypass. Oh, and Jenny Craig. Ew. Weight Watchers, calorie counting, LA Weight Loss, phentermine, HCG, Atkins, you name it. Did those methods work for me? Yes. To varying degrees. And other people have had great success with them, I don't knock what helps people. (Stay away from Phentermine) So why didn't I ever get "there?" I don't know. Self control, stress, burn out, too busy, lazy, whatever. Maybe I'm having more success now because I take so seriously the health of my children and want to model a healthy life for them. Maybe I'm just fed up. I know a huge piece of my puzzle is just ME. My determination, motivation, perserverance. BUT I can't deny that another huge piece is my Herbalife products. I'm not obsessing over points or calories. I'm not starving. It's easy for me to do while raising 5 kiddos. And I feel GOOD. I stay satisfied, I have energy, I feel HEALTHY. And not just me, Jason too. He has done a few other things with me over the last 4+ years, and he swears by Herbalife too. (SUCH a sweet supportive man. LOVE HIM.) He doesn't have daily blood sugar "crashes," he doesn't feel bloated. So we are loyal and enthusiastic about this company and these products. Helping other people has been an added bonus. When you feel like something is helping you save your life, you get excited. So now I have my last 30 pounds to lose, and know I will get there. Here are a few pics of the last 6 months for you to see some of my progress. If of course you are interested in contacting me directly about Herbalife email me at

Left: My cousin's wedding in March. I HATE HATE HATE that picture. Right, same dress, sometime in August I think.
These pics are my first and second 5k's with my sister Amanda. If I remember correctly I lost about 20 pounds between the two races. Oh, and I love her.
And lastly, a couple more recent full body shots. I realized I don't have any since these, I still really hate full body pictures. : )
