Hi , how are you? My name is Ruby I am 34 years old, from Los Angeles, CA . I have three boys. I currently weigh 139 my goal is to be 125-129 during COVID I stepped on the scale to find my self 150LB . I have been on a diet using Herbalife meal replacement and prolessa hunger control and fat burner. I have lost 11 lb within 4 weeks. I still have 10 -14 more lbs to go. I use my Apple Watch to count my steps my goal is to walk 10,000-12,000 steps per day. Would love to be your buddy pal during this journey. We could use each other for motivation.

    Stay focused, the last 10 lbs are the toughest. It can be very frustrating, be patient.

    Hi, I'm good. I am Carla, 57 years old. Two grown-ups. I am 212, I'm doing my weight loss in stages, that way it doesn't seem as much. One day at a time.
    Wow! 11 pounds that so good. I have 12 pounds to lose. I am low carb. I am trying to add more weights to my workouts just to tone, and walking, cardio when the weather is not happy walking weather.

    Hi my name is Steph; I too am using the Herbalife products to assist with weight loss. I have lost 13lb within the last 3 weeks with a goal of approx. 40-50 lbs but in order to keep my curves; I'd be happy with a good 30lb loss. I am not hard on myself, I do one shake per day as an aide and eat clean (protein & complex carb for lunch and dinner) but feel I could maintain the Herbalife in my diet long-term as they are tasty and the Tea is so YUMMY! I have forced myself to try things like rice cakes, avocado and other healthy low carb/calorie snacks. I eat every 3 hours to keep my metabolism on GO and I do approx. 15min cardio and 30 or more weights 3x weekly at the gym or home with resistance bands and HIIT.

    Your weight will peel off but as previously said, this is a process so don't get discouraged. I am taking things slower as my weight loss goal is large; I am treating as a lifestyle change rather than a diet as this gives me a more flexible timeline and I don't feel the pressure associated with the word "diet". YOU GOT THIS; STAY MOTIVATED!!!

    Hey Ruby,
    I have to agree with the comments of taking it slow. I am older (63) and have lost and gained weight most of my life, but have slowly added as I have gotten older. I am down 10 lbs in about 2 months. I have decided to calculate how many calories I can eat a day to lose 5 lbs a month and try to average that over the month. I created a spreadsheet to track. In the past I would try to eat 1000 or 1200 calories a day, only to give up because all I did was think about food. This time, I am trying to just make a few changes and not go crazy. Gave up real cokes, some alcohol and grazing, but doesn't mean I can't have one if my calories are low for month. I'm averaging about 1600 calories a day which is enough for me not to be hungry or panic. I have decided it took a long time to put this weight on, I'm going to give it a year to get it off. I am hoping I can make it a life habit and not a diet. Good luck with your plan to lose the weight, but when you hit you mark, figure how to eat healthy to stay there! You don't have to starve yourself as I have thought most my life.

    With so little left to lose, you should be aiming to lose 0.5 to 0.75 lbs per week. faster will lead to a larger % of your weight loss coming from muscle, not just fat.
