Hi Louise!!

I just started too!! Good Luck to you it sounds like you are off to a great start!:laugh:

Do we have any new members this year? Marne

I'm not 100% new but I'm gonna start using the products again for a boost. I stopped using them for a while and maintained which was good but I wanna hit my goal so back to the herbalife I go. I love this stuff!

Welcome back to Herbalife. I love it too.

great to see more people discovering and accomplishing goals w/ herbalife products. I was introduced to them by my hubby. i was skeptical at first b/c it seemed to be another 2 shakes & 1 meal diet. As I went along, I discovered all of the other benefits from herbalife products. Besides the shakes, we really like the best defense(kinda like Zicam/Airbourne)-lessens colds and Lift-off(energy booster).

I am here for anyone who needs a friend who doesn't scoff at the herbalife lifestyle.

My hubby and I LOVE Herbalife! Neither of us have ever felt so good. We've been using the products since March 11, 2012. He's almost to his goal weight while I have quite a way to to. My new favorite is the mint chocolate chip. YUM! I wish this was a product sold all year long.

My favorite is the mint too. I buy extra each time so I have it during the summer. LOL

I'm back at it as well. I took the holidays off and thankfully only gained 1 lb. Love these products.

I too am new to Herbalife started 1 week before Xmas ( probably not my smartest decision ever) but all in all I have lost an additional 12 pounds ( 20 lbs before that). My goal to to loose a total of 60 lbs. So it is not so hard I do it in groups of 20 pounds each seems to help. I walk every day between 1 1/2 miles to 3 miles every day. I love the shakes and have been making my family mostly Taste of Home dinner meals. My husband being a Diabetic that needs to loose but refuses to this is helping!! He is even walking now 1/2 miles with one of our dogs. This is more exercise than I ever thought I would live to see. I Thank God my daughter in law introduced us to Herbalife both families are more healthy because of it!!

I have been on the products for 2.5 years and I can tell you the secret.............there is no secret! It is not a diet but more of a lifestyle change. It's amazing what the body can do when fueled properly!

Been on Herbalife one week and haven't lost a pound. Trying not to get frustrated. Sticking to an 1100 calorie diet, exercising 3-4 times per week. Nothing else works, so really hopeful this can help me. Have 40 lbs to lose and am looking forward to the group help and support. Thanks!

Hey! I'm a newbie as well! I've been using Herbalife since Friday and am planning on sticking with it until August when I move. SO far I've been drinking the shakes for breakfast and lunch, then doing a healthy dinner as advised. I'm also going to try and do at least 30 min of exercise a minimum of 4 times per week! Wish me luck ya'll.

On average how many pounds has everyone lost each month on the herbalife?

I'm new too! Started five days ago, I'm having two shakes, one healthy meal, three protein snacks, a day. I've just been mixing my shakes with milk and some fruit, should I be adding extra protein powder? My coach mentioned a PDM supplement that Herbalife offeres, but I had already purchased the aloe, cell activator, tea, vitamins, and shakes, and I hoped that was all enough!

I've yet to get into an exercise routine, I'm terrified by weights and have no idea how to use them, I love running though, and I love Bikram yoga although it's been a while since I joined a yoga studio. I just graduated from school and while I was a student I rarely exercised at all. I bought the Insanity workout DVD's a while back, but couldn't use them as I underestimated the amount of jumping involved and I live on a third floor apartment with an ailing old lady beneath me who is easily disturbed (mostly by my hyperactive four year old who never sleeps!) I'm moving next week to a first floor, and I hope I can revisit some workout dvd's as I always preferred them to the gym!!

I welcome any advice or inspiration!

Hello everybody
I am an HB newbie!
Currently 5'3 weighing in at wayy too much.
Shakes for breakfast and lunch with protein after my workout along with pretzels or carrots throughout the day if I get hungry.
I have prolessa duo, cell activator, cell-u-lose, & total control.
Stared on Monday (6/26) & it's Wednesday now. Haha!
Happy day 3 to me!
I hope I have great results.
My to do's this summer consist of 9 weddings, yes you read that right!
Next month (7/27) is a BIG wedding. It'll be like a high school reunion.
Last summer I went on a diet and got down to where I looked real good!
Then I fell in love & my boyfriend can it whatever, whenever and lose weight.
I am doing good so far, granted it's only be 2 days - still better than before!
I'm SO open to any advice or suggestions from HB veterans!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Love Herbalife! Helped me lose 25kgs a few years ago before I got pregnant - and that was using only the guidelines. Started it again a month ago this time using products and I became a distributor. Since the end of May 2013 I've lost over 12kgs, and at the last 'weigh-in' which was 2 weeks ago, I was down 42cms! People have started taking notice and each week I'm getting more and more people asking about how I'm doing it I know I've got a long way to go but I also know it works so am just taking it one step at a time YAY for Herbalife!!

Hi all - i'm new to MFP and to Herbalife and looking for some positive support rather than some of the negative responses to the diet i've read/heard/received - glad to see i have found it here!

I will be starting my Herbalife plan next Monday after seeing some fantastic results in colleagues who have been using the products over the last few months. It was a big financial commitment but i have around 50lbs to lose and have struggled to stick to plans such as weight watchers before, so i think a more regimented approach like this will work better for me and also help me make the change to a more healthy lifestyle. I'm planning on having 2 shakes a day and having a balanced meal for lunch or dinner (i'm thinking lunch may work better for me as i work with young children and need all the energy i can get and also don't get in until around 6.30pm so eating before 7 is also an issue!). My partner has been very supportive and whilst he won't be following the plan, he is happy to adopt the healthy eating approach!

My question is - how many calories should i be allowing for for snacks and my main meal? I'm trying to create a meal plan now, so that i can shop and prepare food in advance of my week. Is there anything i should be avoiding other than the obvious refined carbs?

I also wondered how much exercise everyone does to support their weight loss? I was thinking initially i would incorporate longer walks, use of my wii and fitness DVDs then maybe look into gym membership in my second month (too many financial commitments between now and then to join any sooner!). What are people's thoughts?

I look forward to hearing your tips and experiences!

Glad to see more and more people on this part of the site.

There are three numbers you need to know and track.

1. Lean protein requirement. You can get this from your coach, the lean protein estimator if you are a distributor (it came in your kit). It's the grams of lean protein you need daily.

2. Resting metabolic rate. The number of calories you burn a day at rest. Again, check with your coach or the protein estimator.

3. WATER! I can't emphasize this one enough. You will need 1/2 your body weight in fluid ounces a day.

Best of health to everyone!
