I put on over 40 pounds each time during
my two pregnancies. I'd lose some of it but no matter
what I tried I couldn't get back to my pre-pregnancy
weight. I went to Weight Watchers several times and I'd
lose at first but then I'd hit a plateau and would give
up. I'd try something else for awhile and when that
didn't work I'd give up again. I even got prescription
diet pills from my doctor after the birth of my second
child. This worked but I was stressed out and couldn't
sleep well but I thought the 20 pound weight loss was
worth it. It didn't take long though for it to come back
when I could no longer afford the prescription. Even
though I only gained the 20 pounds back instead of going
back to size 16 I was now an 18. I had lost too much
muscle with the fat and when it came back it was all fat.
Yep, I was a yo-yo dieter.
I had been doing an "eat less fat
get more fiber" program for 2 1/2 years when I was
introduced to Herbalife products. Although I had been
eating healthier foods and exercising 3-4 times a week, I
had only lost 17 1/2 pounds in all that time and less
than 10 inches. I was still wearing the same size 18
pants though they weren't as tight as they been. I had
been on a plateau for over 7 months and I was VERY
discouraged. Fortunately I met a lady who was
wearing a button with her "before" picture on
it. She had lost over 40 pounds and even more impressive
to me, had kept it off for over 2 years at that time. I inquired as to how she had done it and she
introduced me to Herbalife products.
To be honest with you I was extremely
skeptical at first. I had tried a lot of different
programs and diets and I didn't really expect this one to
work either. One problem with a yo-yo dieter is that you
really mess up your metabolism with all those diets which
makes it harder and harder to lose weight. You can
imagine how excited and encouraged I was when I lost 8
pounds the very first month! I know that may not sound
like a lot to you but for this yo-yo dieter it was
fabulous!
I went on
to lose not only pounds but inches as well. In total I
lost 35 pounds and 33 inches ! I finally got out of size
18 and now wear an 8! I weigh less than I did when I got
pregnant with my first child. And
I've kept it off now for over three years!!
