Hi, my name is Adam and I'm 31. I've been using this site, as well as the app on my droid phone, for a few months now. I swore I would never be one of those people that counted calories and kept track of everything they ate. It just always seemed like so much work. Then one day my Aunt told me about this site and I decided to check it. It's so easy and really helps me get a clear picture of what I'm taking in each day. I've been dieting for about 3 months now and have lost about 14lbs. That's just with dieting and using the health shakes from Herbalife, I haven't made it to the gym yet, even though I do have a membership. lol I'll get there at some point. One thing at a time. Anyways, I just thought I'd post a message on the boards and say hi. Good luck to everyone out there who is trying to get healthy!

    I'm in Minnesota...and sometimes use Herbalife...I have some of the shakes and occassionally go to the fusion shops to get a lunch. I actually had one today! I'm not exclusive to it, but if it's around I'll use it.

    Good luck and add me if you need friends!!

    :smile: I'm in Minnesota too and just starting the herbalife meal replacement/protein shakes. Do you know of any Shake shops in the Minneapolis or St. Cloud area?

    Ever since the FDA banned supplements containing ephedra (herbal or otherwise), Herbalife is nothing but portion control and herbal supplements that are no more effective than placebo.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2538539/?tool=pmcentrez This is a link to a single-blind, randomized study performed at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA that demonstrates pretty conclusively that the only weight loss that occurs on an Herbalife regimen is due to portion control and good nutrition, both of which are basic to any healthy diet.
