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!

Me again with tonights weigh-in results (week 5ish...got my 1st lot of products May 31st 2013). Since my last official weigh-in two weeks ago, I'm down another 3.1kg and 18cms. TOTAL weight loss to date is 14.1kgs and 61cms!! Freaking stoked. I'm living proof that this stuff DOES work. Love love LOVE Herbalife!!

Good job! These products work if you do.

I started Herbalife in April and am down about 20 pounds. I found a "club" and that's how I started. I do the weight lose challenges and that as really helped me on the way. I've noticed it takes a crazy diet for me to lose weight anymore and I am finding Herbalife has been the best in my life. I can cheat, I can live, I can enjoy things sometimes and still lose weight. It may take me longer than some, but its happening. So for anybody in their first month, keep going. Your body changes, it will start kicking into this new change. It takes a lil time, but man so far, its worth it.

Hi,

Giving Herbalife a trial run of a month so hopefully willl see some results. I am aiming to lose 6 stone in the long run and around 2 stone by the end of September as I am graduating then!
