    I find shaklee 180 way better,,they mix and taste much better..I do shakes just for the ease..its fast,simple and clean up is rinse the shaker and set in the dry rack..I like easy!!! I actually became a shaklee distributer because I use lots of their products,,and its cheaper to buy them that way.I usually eat one cooked meal a day,noon or evening,,whenever my husband is going to be home.I did try Herbalife but they dont mix well in a shaker and they do not taste as good as the 180 to me.And without being a distibuter they cost more.

    OP, I looked at your diary, and you're not logging your food. I think your food intake might be the issue here. I know you are saying you aren't doing anything different, but if you are not keeping track of the data, how can you be sure? Try logging and keeping a calorie deficit (and please up that number from 1200, that is ridiculously low especially for a mom with three kids) before spending your money.

    At £18 for 15 days worth of breakfasts & lunches I'm pretty sure she is saving money?

    She's a mom of three, I'm fairly certain she does regular food shopping and feeds her kids. Her grocery bill is unlikely to change as the rest of the family will still be eating the food, meaning that the shakes are going to be an additional expense on top of what she is already paying. Whereas simply eating less of what they already buy isn't going cost her a thing.

    And her diary is empty because she hasn't been tracking what she eats. She's been a member here since October 2010 and said she lost 55 lbs from watching what she ate. Without tracking, she has no idea how much she has actually been eating. She was eating more than she thought. It happens. She wasn't just waiting it out and piling on the pounds to go on Herbalife.

    Sometimes the best support you can give a person is encouragement to face the real issue and not just cheer for the way out. A huge part of making this lifestyle change is acknowledging your accountability for your weight gain and changing your behaviors. That's all people are trying to do when they encourage others to eat real food, log, and exercise instead of paying for a shake, bar, or pill. It may not be what the person wants to hear, but that doesn't make it negative or unsupportive.

    Yes definitely agree they don't mix very well! I always have to do mine in a blender, which is a shame for the cookies & cream flavour as it's nice having that little crunch once in a while, but on the plus side having the blender thickens it better which I find helps keep me fuller for longer :)

    Optimum Nutrition Gold- you can blend it with fruit, yogurts, etc and have it for breakfast if you feel like you need to "replace" a meal (I use it in addition to), get the protein your body needs, and give yourself whatever psychological boost you're looking for here.

    A 5 gallon tub is 50$ on Amazon and lasts me about 3-4 months. And I don't have some kind of "coach" hassling me to buy other products I don't need or want. You can do this!

    You can estimate to spend about 80 - 100 dollars a month. That would be your choice of formula 1 (meal replacement) and vanilla or chocolate protein power. It is recommended that you do two scoops of the meal replacement and one scoop of the protein powder. i believe that the formula 1 shakes are about 30-35 dollars and you need two of them to last you a month, at two shakes a day. the protein cost between 40 - 45 dollars and you only need one of those for the month. Everything also depends on the level that you distributor is at and whether or not they sell for profit or personal use. hope this helps
