Good morning,

We are expecting a lovely warm and sunny day!  Perfect for a chilled and delicious Herbalife Formula 1 shake.  Today I thought it would be a nice change to share a recipe with you all.  There are so many different ways to enjoy the shakes...here is my favourite:

2 scoops Formula 1 Vanilla
250ml of semi-skimmed milk
1 Pear
4-5 ice cubes
touch of cinnamon

Blend until the ice is crushed.  Delicious!

Stay focused, don't lose your will power and remember that only YOU can do this, no one else can do it for you!


Hope you all have a good day!

Good morning,

I said I would be back today to answer the questions that I myself raised in my blog, the most common excuses that we all use to avoid taking the Herbalife products.  

Very commom statement I hear, "Herbalife is too expensive!"  Is it really????  This is where I suggest you carry out a little excercise.  Take the total amount that you will be paying for the products you would like to purchse or the total for the core products,  then divide it by 30 days.  That is how much you are paying on a daily basis for HEALTHY LIVING, a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE!!!  So I ask you again, Is it really that expensive?  There was a time I thought Herbalife products were a luxury that I could not afford, now I know that Herbalife is a luxury I cannot afford to live without because of it's health benefits.

You've reached a plateau and are feeling very disappointed, giving up on the products, wondering why this has happened...don't give up!  We all reach a plateau and some of us more than others.  Talk to your distributor when this happens, ask why, ask them to help you get back on track.  As a Herbalife Distributor it is our duty to guide you, support you, encourage you when you need it.  Don't be embarrassed to ask!   We all want to achieve our goals, we all want to be happy, sometimes we just need a little nudge in the right direction.

That's me for today!  Going to make my lovely breakfast shake now!  I have  had two cups of Thermo tea (lemon flavour)  so I am feeling good and ready to start my day right after my Formula 1 Vanilla shake.

Have a good day everyone!

Wow it's been a long time!  As you can tell, I am not much of a blogger!  But that is going to change now...I wanted to share a few words of encouragement with all of you that have in some form or other made contact with Herbalife products and those of you that are still unsure about Herbalife.  Whether it be for weight loss, weight gain or a healthy lifestyle.  However my focus today is on weight loss.

Some of us start and never stop taking the products, some only take the products to lose a few pounds and never touch the products again, others never give up on the products, they become a part of the daily routine.  Well, I haven't exactly been behaving, I still have a shake for breakfast but not every day do I have two shakes.  Believe me I need the second shake because I have not yet reached my goal.  I am trying once again to be good and follow the weightloss programme like I should.  I know my excuse for not doing it right, just lost a little will power along the way but I am getting back on track now. 

What is your excuse?
The products don't work.
I am not losing weight fast enough.
They are too expensive.
I have reached a plateau.

All of the above have an answer.  The products do work, you have to be committed, dedicate yourself to improving your well being.  After having the products for a few days you will feel the difference.  You will want to feel that way everyday. The products only do not work if you do not have them regularly.  How fast do you want to lose weight?  Losing weight too quickly is not the answer.  Ask yourself how long it took for you to put on the weight, you should give yourself the same amount of time to lose it. A good steady and healthy weight loss is about 1-2lbs a week.  In the first couple of weeks, most of us will lose a lot more but that is because your eating habits have suddenly changed.  Any concerns you have about your weightloss should be discussed with your distributor.  That is what we are here for...to help you, support you and encourage you to keep strong and focused and to applaud you when you have done really well.

There are hundreds of weight loss diets promising quick weight loss that sound ideal when you want to drop a few pounds for an event that is only weeks away.  Unfortunately, most of these diets promote methods that are unhealthy and dangerous for our bodies.  To achieve a weight loss of one to two pounds per week, you need to reduce your calorie intake by at least 500 calories per day.  Depending on your diet, this may be as easy as cutting out one high calories indulgence, or you may need to reduce calories across your day by choosing low calorie foods and reducing portion sizes.  

I think that is enough for today.  I hope I have answered two of the questions, I will be back tomorrow to answer the others!  Enjoy your day and enjoy your healthy lifestyle!

Talk to you soon!

When I started taking Herbalife products I was at my lowest, feeling depressed,  low self-esteem and no confidence at all in myself.  I had put on 112lbs (51kgs) since my first pregnancy and the weight just kept increasing.  I used to convince myself that my underactive thyroid was the reason for my obesity and my fatigue but the truth is that I had tried so many different ways to lose weight and because nothing worked for me I had just given up and it was easy to blame it on my thyroid. 

Within the first few days of starting the products I became a completely different person and I continue to feel that way!  No more depressions and no more low self-esteem.  I started to lose weight almost immediately, my current weight loss with the Herbalife products is 3.5 stone (49lbs / 22kgs). 

It has been a fantastic journey, not only do I look better but I feel healthy, I still have a long way to go but I know that I will get there because I believe in the Herbalife products and I have the will power to make it happen.  Once you see the results you don’t want to stop!  I will never turn back, I have made the choice to live a healthy nutritious lifestyle with the help of Herbalife.

If you would like to try the products but are still uncertain, please get in touch with me.  I will send you more information and we can discuss the best options for you.

If you are wanting to lose weight I cannot think of any procuts better than the Herbalife weight loss program.  I did it even with an underactive thryoid.  The Weight Management Start-Up Programme is designed to work with your unique body composition and can be customised to suit you.  You can look forward to long-lasting results.  It consists of 2 F1 shakes, F2 Multivitamin Complex, Fibre and Herb tablets and Instant Herbal Beverage.

You replace two meals a day with a healthy and tasty shake, two healthy snacks mid morning and mid afternoon, your tablets 3 times a day and one healthy colourful meal.  You can have different flavoured shakes so you don't bored of the same taste, you can try different recipes which makes it that much more exciting.  My favourite is a vanilla shake with one pear, a touch of cinnamon and 4-5 ice-cubes.  Delicious!

I will be back soon with more product information.

Have a good weekend!
