Cristina Salazar

"Nothing can stop me now!"

50 Pounds Lost

Before: 196 pounds. After: 146 pounds

Fighting a longtime battle with her weight had
begun to take its toll on Cristina Salazar. "I became
very depressed," she says. Cristina was working at
a bakery at the time, so temptation was within easy
reach. "I started nibbling and snacking, indulging in
sweets throughout the day to make myself feel better,"
she explains. "And that just added more weight." At
196 pounds, Cristina decided to take action. "People
started saying to me, 'Wow! You look beautiful!'" Cristina
says of her early weight loss on ShapeWorks™
products. Suddenly, the woman who'd felt so bad about
her body for so long was now getting compliments about
her looks. "My confidence has improved so much," Cristina says, "that I've been able to start the business-something I'd never have been comfortable doing before."

"It feels pretty good being 50 pounds lighter!"

Mitchell Goroff

"I was a milkshake addict."

59 Pounds Lost

Before: 250 pounds. After: 191 pounds

For computer consultant Mitchell Goroff, traveling-
and the loneliness that came with it-was a big part
of the job. "Being on the road, I missed my family,"
he recalls, "and I'd deal with it by treating myself to
milkshakes." Soon, Mitchell reached 250 pounds.
"When I saw that number on a scale," he explains, "I
knew it was time to get serious about losing weight."
"Before," Mitchell says, "when my son and daughter
coaxed me into playing outside, I'd be wiped out
after five minutes. Now, they get tired before I do!"
Mitchell's results also changed the way he buys
clothes. "I shed 10 inches from my waist," he explains,
"and went from an extra-large shirt to a medium." And, because of the ShapeWorks™ products, the self-described milkshake addict went from virtually no exercise to lifting weights and running several times a week.

"The best part is that I love these shakes!"

Rodney & Mary Ann Marcantel

"Ninety-five pounds lighter!"

95 Pounds Lost

Rodney:
Before: 202 pounds
After: 157 pounds
Mary Ann:
Before: 189 pounds
After: 139 pounds

Rodney and Mary Ann Marcantel joke that
they've tried every weight-loss program
ever developed. But their weight was no
laughing matter. "Mary Ann had serious
weight-related health issues," Rodney
says, "and many of my relatives suffered
from poor health brought on by being overweight." So when Rodney started dropping pounds on the ShapeWorks™ products, he says, "I knew this was our answer to a healthy future." Despite Rodney's initial success, he recalls, "Mary Ann was skeptical, having been disappointed by weight-loss programs before." So Rodney sent his wife to work with a shake. And when Mary Ann called just hours later, Rodney knew she had come around. "She said, 'I don't know what's in this thing, but I feel incredible!' And I told her, 'So do I.'" Now, Rodney and Mary Ann are enjoying healthy, vibrant lives. "I'm so glad I tried that first shake," he says.

"We describe ShapeWorks™ products in one word-wow!"

Michael & Pat Cole

"The older we get, the younger we feel."

94 Pounds Lost

Michael:
Before: 225 pounds. After: 175 pounds
Pat:
Before: 185 pounds. After: 141 pounds

Like a of lot people, Pat Cole thought that
gaining weight was part of getting older. "I
was gaining a pound a year and I accepted
it," she says. But when she and her husband
Michael decided to start an Herbalife business,
they discovered more than just the joys of
working from home. "We figured we'd try the
products for 30 days," Pat recalls. "Within two
weeks, we were saying 'What is this stuff? It's incredible!'" Soon, Pat had lost 44 pounds and Michael had lost 50 pounds on the Shapeworks ™ Quickstart program. As self-described "meat and potatoes" people, they weren't used to the concept of meal replacement, but Pat says the protein they get from Herbalife products has made them lose their taste for certain unhealthy foods altogether. But the best surprise for the Coles has been their energy levels, which skyrocketed shortly after they started using the products. "When you get to this point in your life, energy is like gold," says Pat.

"And we have more than we ever dreamed of."

Mette Hyldgaard Smith

"I'm fit for life!"

48 Pounds Lost

Before: 168 pounds. After: 120 pounds

"My cousin told me I was fat," says Mette
Hyldgaard Smith, recalling the devastating insult
she received as a 22-year-old college student. "It
was an insult that would soon change my life. At my
cousin's urging, I agreed to try the products," she
explains. "And although I was highly skeptical, that
skepticism didn't even last a day." The morning after
she first tried the products, Mette awoke at 6:00 a.m.,
she remembers, "and I was full of energy!" Mette
went on to lose 48 pounds, which she's kept off for
years. "I have more energy and feel healthier then
ever," she says, "which is why I take these products
365 days a year!" For Mette, her own lifechanging results have driven her to help others lose weight and improve their health. "I'm proud to say I've helped thousands," she says.

"Herbalife, exercise and eating right-now I've lost that weight for good."

Kathy Young

"I went from a size 9 to a size 4!"

17 Pounds Lost

Before: 137 pounds. After: 120 pounds

Although she'd maintained a healthy weight for
most of her life, Kathy Young saw her body change
after having children. "I tried so hard to lose weight,"
she says. "I'd run and exercise, but after months of
that, I'd only dropped a few pounds." When she
became a Distributor, Kathy gave ShapeWorks™ a try.
"I was impressed by how easy the program was," Kathy
recalls. "I used to live on candy, loads of pasta, and,
because I live in Hawaii, every meal came with plenty
of rice." But because she loved the shakes and Protein
Bar snacks, Kathy explains, "I never felt any need to
sneak junk food." Now Kathy is where she wants to be.
"I'm in great shape, keeping the weight off, and enjoying delicious meals and snacks!"

"Finally a weight-loss plan that helps you lose weight!"

Kevin Freeman

"I finally feel alive!"

82 Pounds Lost

Before: 262 pounds. After: 180 pounds

After multiple failed attempts to lose weight, Kevin
Freeman feared that he was doomed to spend the
rest of his life as the "fat kid," as he'd been called
growing up. When he heard about ShapeWorks™,
Kevin admits, "I didn't jump right in." Kevin had
become discouraged after trying for so long to lose
weight. "When I thought about my children, though,
I decided I had one more try in me," he explains. "I
needed to get healthier, for my children's sake." Kevin
is glad he gave ShapeWorks™ a chance. "I lost 50
pounds in five months!" he exclaims. In addition to his
stunning weight loss, Kevin's life has changed in another
way. "I now have the energy to keep pace with my eight-year-old twin boys," he says. "And, because my health has significantly improved, I can look forward to a long and happy life with my family!"

"The healthier me is here to stay!"

Kim Frahm

"I dropped 40 pounds!"

50 Pounds Lost

Before: 187 pounds. After: 137 pounds

"I started seeing 'saddle bags' on my thighs," Kim
Frahm recalls. "My size-14 clothes were getting
tight. Even my dad was calling me his 'fluffy daughter.'"
So Kim decided to take action. "When I saw my dad
totally change his body using the ShapeWorks™
products," she says, "I agreed to give the program a
try." "After my first shake," Kim says, "I was surprised
at how full and satisfied I felt. And after my third day
on the program, I actually had the energy-finally-to
play with my boys!" Soon Kim's clothes began to
fit less snugly, and she went on to go from a size
14+ to a size 4-6. "No more cravings, no more
exhaustion-and no more saddle bags!" Kim exclaims. "I still can't believe how much these products have improved my life!"

"I'm still pinching myself about how much weight I've lost!"

Judy Brownlow

People constantly tell me,
"You look 20 years younger."

110 Pounds Lost

Before: 240 pounds. After: 130 pounds

With her high-school reunion right around the
corner, Judy Brownlow wanted to look her best.
So when she reconnected with her high-school
sweetheart online, and heard from him the success
others had found with Herbalife's ShapeWorks™
Program, her interest was immediately piqued. For
10 years, Judy had struggled to reshape her figure.
"When you have extra weight, no matter how good of a
person you are, people just look at you differently,"
recalls Judy. Altogether, the ShapeWorks™ Program
helped her lose an astonishing 110 pounds-and changed
her figure from a size 22 to a 5/6. "Once I started losing weight, my self-esteem greatly improved," Judy says. Not only did she look better than she ever did in school, the Targeted Nutrition products she used to complement the program helped alleviate the pain in her back, knees and feet. "I have so much energy; it's like I'm back in college!"

"I have so much energy; it's like I'm back in college!"

Marisela Guerra

"I never knew I could look and feel
so great after having children!"

80 Pounds Lost

Before: 196 pounds. After: 116 pounds

Marisela Guerra was the girl who could dance all
night, run up and down the basketball court for hours
and had boundless energy for her active lifestyle. But
that all changed after she became a mother. With the
extra weight and diminished energy, her self-image
began to suffer. Her dream? To recapture the healthy
life she had loved so much. "Although diets had let
me down in the past," Marisela says, "I jumped at the
chance to try the ShapeWorks™ Program." Just as
she'd hoped, ShapeWorks™ changed everything. "I
lost 80 pounds and dropped from a size 18/20 to a 2/4."
Marisela says that when she's with her daughter, people mistake them for sisters.

"I love buying clothes again-and I'm back to dancing all night long!"

Mark Pavitt

"I got off my back and back on my feet!"

142 Pounds Lost

Before: 248 pounds. After: 106 pounds

"All I did was eat and sleep," recalls Mark Pavitt,
whose weight, chronic discomfort and lack of
energy plagued him daily. And after a workplace
accident, back surgery and pain medication, he
wasn't sure he could feel any worse. "I was
miserable," he explains. Mark's luck changed when
he entered an Herbalife drawing and won a set of
products that got him started on the ShapeWorks™
Program. With every pound Mark lost, he gained back
a healthy body and a healthy attitude about life. "Using
the products, I had full, whole energetic days again,"
says Mark. Two years have since passed, and Mark
continues to enjoy the life-changing benefits of Herbalife products. Today, he's slim, fit and healthy-a very different image from the "before" photo he glances at daily for motivation.

"It's a reminder of what I no longer need to look or feel like,"

Melissa Beaudry

"With ShapeWorks™, I've found
my answer to a better life!"

50 Pounds Lost

Before: 190 pounds. After: 135 pounds

Headaches, stomachaches and frequent exhaustion
were a part of Melissa Beaudry's everyday life. But
her serious pain extended well beyond the physical.
"I was also disgusted with my weight," Melissa
recalls. To give her body the nutrition it needed-and
to help her drop the extra pounds-Melissa turned to
the ShapeWorks™ Program. "I'm so grateful for these
products," Melissa beams, adding that before she started
on the ShapeWorks™ Program, she had very little energy
for her four-month-old son. "It was great to have so much
more energy for him." Melissa is now proud of her body. "I
went from squeezing into a size 14 to looking great in a size 4."

"I'm so grateful to have my health back!"

Monica Hammonds

"I went from just getting through
the day to really living!"

35 Pounds Lost

Before: 185 pounds. After: 150 pounds

Life at 185 pounds took a real toll on Monica
Hammonds. The extra weight drained Monica of
all her energy. "I was a travel agent, but I was too
tired myself to do anything at the end of the day
except lay on the couch," she recalls. But Monica's
weight gain created far more serious problems, "I
also had all sorts of physical problems, and I was
uncomfortable all the time." Monica was reluctant at
first to try the ShapeWorks™ products. "I'd had it with
yo-yo dieting," she explains. But, after starting with
Herbalife as a Distributor, Monica saw the results the
products were having for others, and she gave them a try. "I couldn't believe how these shakes were working."

"My energy shot up, discomfort started to ease, and I changed my shape!"

Eli Akiba

"I went from wheezing my way up a
staircase to running a marathon!"

44 Pounds Lost

Before: 209 pounds
After: 165 pounds

Eli Akiba knew his weight was becoming a
problem. He was giving in to his sweet tooth, and
had started taking naps just to get through the day.
But when he saw a picture of himself, he was
shocked! "So I started using the ShapeWorks™
products," he says. "My energy surged, and within a
few months I was training for a marathon!" Though Eli
didn't finish because of a knee injury, he made it 18
miles! "Not bad for a guy who had a hard time walking
up a flight of stairs." He also trimmed his waist from
a size 38 to a 31, and he's training again for this year's marathon.

"What a change I've made!"

Celeste & Robert Merrill

"The older we get, the younger we feel."

175 Pounds Lost

Celeste:
Before: 171 pounds. After: 124 pounds
Robert:
Before: 332 pounds. After: 204 pounds

As a professional exercise physiologist, Celeste
Merrill was intimately familiar with what it took to be
healthy. So when she began to see signs that her
weight was interfering with her life, Celeste knew
she had to take action. "I didn't have energy for my
kids, and I reached a size 18 for the first time in my
life," Celeste recalls. For Celeste's husband Rob, it
was even more serious. "Weighing over 300 pounds,
I had a negative outlook on life," Rob explains. That's when they got started on a personalized ShapeWorks™ weight-loss program. The real change came when she experienced her newfound energy. "Now, I'm able to do more than just keep up with my kids-I have the energy to have a great time with them!" Rob's results were even more amazing. "I lost an astounding 128 pounds using the ShapeWorks™ Program,"

"I shed body fat, reshaped my physique and even got more muscular!"

Julie Albright

"I felt tired all the time and didn't know why."

41 pounds lost

Before: 171 pounds. After: 130 pounds

"I was pretty negative. Even though I had no
energy and felt terrible, I didn't think anything
would help." Although a skeptic about weight
loss, Julie's competitive streak came out when
she was asked to join a weight-loss challenge.
She joined, lost 25 pounds, and won the contest-
all with the help of Herbalife. Long plagued by
muscle and joint pain, Julie noticed that her
weight loss coincided with renewed energy. Her
lower weight reduced stress on her joints. "Before,
my diet had been almost all carbs," she says. "I
had no nutrition going into my body, which meant
I was both overweight and malnourished." "Before I was functioning at around 25 percent of my capacity," she says. "Now it feels like 100 percent."

"I finally have my life back!"

Matthew G.

"I couldn't believe how easy this was."

71 Pounds Lost

Before: 263 pounds. After: 192 pounds

"With a young family, losing weight wasn't an
option-it was a necessity. I had to lose weight
for my family," says Matthew. "But I thought the
process would be much harder than it turned
out to be." As Matthew explains, just days after
beginning his program of two delicious
ShapeWorks® shakes daily, "I felt amazing."
Soon, Matthew had the energy to chase after his
two daughters without getting winded. His waist
slimmed to a size 34. Now, Matthew explains,
"My self-image, health and outlook on life are the best
they've ever been."

"Now I know I'll be healthy for my wife and our daughters."

Jasmin Zuñiga

"My life is fun again!"

135 Pounds Lost

Before: 300 pounds. After: 165 pounds

At 19 years old, Jasmin Zuñiga was an outgoing
young woman with her whole life ahead of her. "But
instead of enjoying my life," she says, "I found
difficulty and frustration in almost everything I did."
At 300 pounds, Jasmin remembers, life was a
series of painful situations - from feeling
uncomfortable going out, to being passed over for
jobs, to being unable go on a carnival ride with
her daughter. Jasmin went on losing 135 pounds
and gaining self-esteem she never thought she'd
enjoy. "Now I love going out and seeing people,"

"Now I look forward to everything!"

Irene O.

"I love that I wear size extra small."

25 Pounds Lost

Before: 140 pounds. After: 115 pounds

Since the age of 15, Irene O. struggled with trying
to lose weight. "I tried so many diets," Irene recalls.
"Some helped a little, but I would always put the
weight back on." After many frustrating years of
dieting, Irene finally tried starving herself. "All it
did was put me in a really bad mood," she
says. "I couldn't concentrate and it even caused
digestive problems." But Irene's problems were
soon to be over. "As soon as I started an
Herbalife program, I experienced results almost
immediately." Today, Irene never misses a morning
shake. "I start every day the Herbalife way," she says.
Irene is also physically active for the first time in a long time. "I'm the opposite of who I used to be," she explains. "I no longer sit on the sofa watching television for hours. Having the energy to exercise again makes me feel great."

"Now I can wear fashionable clothes!"

Nephtali & Jaime P.

"Now we love to go out and dance."

217 Pounds Lost

Nephtali
Before: 220 pounds. After: 158 pounds
Jaimie
Before: 336 pounds. After: 181 pounds

"I would look at people older than me and see
them leading active lifestyles," says Jaime P.
"They could play sports, walk in the park and I
could barely walk around. I was always out of
breath and had so much leg and knee pain."
Then one day, a man told Jaime about Herbalife
products. "He told me he was once as large as me
and that he didn't want to see me suffer with the
same health issues as he did," Jaime says. "At that point," he explains, "I was scared for my life." "I was tired of being overweight and decided to do something about it." Jamie said "I was in bed all day with no energy," Nephtali says, "the only time I would get up was to go to the refrigerator." But after seeing Jaime's amazing results, she was inspired to try the products for herself. "Jaime's weight loss was what motivated me to get my life in order," she says. "Before Herbalife, we were both anti-social, but now we love to go out and dance!"

"We have a whole new active lifestyle."

Karina Moreno

"I changed my weight, size,
energy and self-image."

15 Pounds Lost

Before: 150 pounds. After: 135 pounds

Fatigued. That's how Karina Moreno describes
the way she felt before. "The excess weight was
holding me back from enjoying my life and feeling
good about myself," Once she tried the products
and quickly started seeing results, Karina became
thrilled with her personalized weight-loss
program. Within just weeks, she'd lost 25 pounds
of body fat, put on 10 pounds of lean muscle and
dropped five clothing sizes. "But the results were
more than just numbers," she explains.
"Shedding the fat and replacing it with muscle
tone completely changed how my body looked and felt. And dropping the sizes did wonders for my confidence. These products have simply changed my life!"

"No more 'size large' for me!"

Daniel M.

"I went from a 35-inch waist to a 29."

45 Pounds Lost

Before: 195 pounds. After: 150 pounds

"I was in a bad mood a lot of the time, and
I developed a long list of health issues. My
weight was making it hard to enjoy life." After
a frustrating search for a program to lose
weight and change his life, Daniel found
Herbalife while in his native Venezuela. "When
I started using these products, things started
changing for the better almost right away,"
explains Daniel. "My energy levels increased and
my weight dropped, which improved my mood,
boosted my self-esteem and kept me on the
products." Which led to Daniel losing 45 pounds!
As he proudly puts it, "I can honestly say that I feel better, healthier and more enthusiastic about life than I ever have."

"Now I feel young and active."

Tomas Cisneros

"Herbalife helped me slim down
and get healthy."

30 pounds lost

Before: 200 pounds. After: 170 pounds

"My earlier efforts to lose weight landed me in the
hospital" Thomas explains. "Taking Herbalife
products made a big improvement in my health,"
Tomas says. By providing his body with proper
nutrition, he was able to lose the extra weight
and feel better. He lost all the weight he had
gained and has now happily and healthily kept it
off for three years.

"Now I feel and look great!"

Christine W.

"This has improved every aspect of my life."

13 Pounds Lost

Before: 140 pounds. After: 127 pounds

"I was at the heaviest I'd ever been," recalls
registered nurse Christine W., "My energy was
so low that I'd wake up each morning thinking
about how soon I could get back into bed."
As a healthcare professional, instructing
people every day to develop healthier lifestyles,
Christine felt like a hypocrite. "I wasn't doing
anything to help myself," she says. So Christine
decided to do something. "I wanted a program with
easy-toprepare meals and snacks," Christine
explains, "that wouldn't leave me hungry an hour
later." That's what Christine found with her
personalized ShapeWorks® program. "The results were astonishing," she says. "I began feeling more comfortable in my clothes, finding more energy to keep up with my children and having a better attitude overall. And now I have the confidence to help others reach their wellness goals!"

"I feel healthier, have more energy and have a much better attitude."

Jorge Pérez

"I want to feel like this forever!"

25 Pounds Lost

Before: 195 pounds. After: 170 pounds

For Jorge Pérez, weight gain led to serious
problems in his life. "The first thing I noticed when
I started taking the products was how much my
energy increased," Jorge explains. "Where I used to
have a hard time waking up, suddenly I was getting
up earlier than ever-and having so much more time
I didn't know what to do with myself!" The next
thing Jorge noticed, which he remains grateful for
to this day, was how much healthier he felt. "What
I found," he says, "is that nothing feels better than
feeling great!"

"I'll never stop using these products!"

Estella P.

"I finally love my clothes again!"

63 Pounds Lost

Before: 198 pounds. After: 135 pounds

"When I first sat down with my Herbalife Coach,"
recalls Estela P., "my weight had reached 198
pounds-that was the heaviest I'd ever been." With
her weight affecting her health, self-esteem and
happiness, Estela told her Coach, "I'm willing to
do whatever it takes to lose weight and improve
my life." Working with her Herbalife Coach,
Estela personalized a ShapeWorks® program
around her goals and eating preferences. "I started
noticing an improvement very quickly," she says,
"and by following the program and exercising, the
excess pounds came off." Estela began to feel better
than she could remember feeling in years. "I felt so good, in fact, that I became an Herbalife Coach," she explains, "and I helped my sister Irma lose weight and change her life!"

"Life really gets better when you feel good about yourself."

Martha Núñez

"Losing weight has really turned
my life around!"

37 Pounds Lost

Before: 157 pounds. After: 120 pounds

At 157 pounds, I felt uncomfortable,
physically drained and unhealthy almost
all the time. Eventually, the discomfort
became too great, and I realized I had to take
action. Almost right away, I began to feel so
much better. I went on to lose 37 pounds I feel
so incredible these days, thanks to these products.

"I'm recommending this
to everyone I know."
