Herbalife - anyone tried it?

[obbie]

If you look at my diet, its healthy, veges, salads, proteins.

just no time to exercise, when at work for 45 hours a week, huge house and kids, and parents to look after.

Just a bit of a catch up with this topic. I lost 11 kg on Herbalife and didn't do low fat, but reduced (changed, really to rapadura etc) my sugar and starches and full fat.

I've been off Herbalife for over a month and have since lost another kilo, so pleased with that. I still take the Multivitamin and the Flora Fibre (a probiotic). Feeling better than ever! I still have a Herbalife smoothie every now and then for breakfast when I'm really busy or have to leave early. I love them!

update, I have just lost 10 kilos in the last week. Been in hospital, all was fluid.

now I feel fantastic, and look so much better too.

Gosh Robyn, I wonder why you retained that much fluid. That's scary.  Great that you are feeling better. X

Have the doctors found why you retained so much fluid Robyn?

[obbie]

virus that caused heart failure.
ll fluid gone now.

lost 10 kilos.
i want to loose 10 kilos of fat now..

How awful, is there any residual damage?
I hope you feel better soon.
Take it slowly..

That's awful, Robyn! So glad that it's all gone. To lose fat, you have to reduce starchy and processed carbs and eat saturated fats like coconut oil. I've put on a kilo and stayed at that weight. My DH and my friends have all said I look so much better now. I was looking scrawny when I was on Herbalife.

I'm not keen on the ingredients in the shake powder and feel the products are too expensive. There's lots of money being made by Herbalife 'coaches' who have very little knowledge of nutrition. I'm glad I tried it as it helped me learn the best way to lose weight and maintain it for life and it's certainly not Herbalife (unless you plan to stay on it for life!).

well I have lost 12 kilos now, and feel fantastic. heaps of energy now.

I am stable, and back to what I was before kids, (11 years ago)  looking so much better..

Maybe just loose 3-4 kilos more would be good.  Can't do any exercise yet..

Well done Robyn.
MJ you are so right.

[Bedlam]

Robyn, i am so pleased you are feeling well and to have lost all that fluid.  Thank goodness you got help when you did.

[meganjane]

That's good news, Robyn.
