A big part of our journey is to become healthier people. We both need to lose weight and get better nutrition for our bodies. David wants to gain muscle but lose his beer belly. I want to go back to the weight I was at in my early 20's before I had injured my knee. You can see our before pictures in this blog. These are our 'BEFORE HERBALIFE' pictures. We will update these pictures every once in a while to show our progress - successes or failures.
So what products are we using? How are we using them?
Both David & I have started out using the Quickstart System. This system consists of a healthy meal replacement shake called Formula 1, a multivitamin called Formula 2, a product called Cell Activator also known as Formula 3 and an herbal tea concentrate. In addition, we are both using a product called Thermo-bond and I am using a product called Cell-U-Loss.
We have simply replaced two meals a day with the Formula 1 shake and we take our supplements 3 times a day, except for the Thermo-bond. We take the Thermo-bond whenever we eat solid foods or drink anything with sugars in it – or in David’s case, when he drinks beer. Since neither of us really ate breakfast to begin with, we basically added a shake to our morning routines for breakfast and we have a shake for lunch. David takes 3 scoops of the shake mix to help him beat afternoon munchies and prevent him from being hungry at lunch time. I take 2 scoops of the shake mix in mine and I stay full all day. We mix our shakes with Vanilla Soy Milk but you can mix it with a number of things. I have some great shake recipes that I can share for anyone that is interested. One last thing I will say about the shakes is that they taste GREAT! We are using the Cookies-N-Cream and it is delicious. I was doubtful when I first started but after that first sip – I was hooked.
We eat dinner every night and try to make it a well balanced and healthy meal. In addition to the shakes, you are supposed to drink lots of water – but anyone who knows me knows that I hate drinking water. So instead, I can drink the herbal tea concentrate and still get my water in for the day. The herbal tea concentrate gives you lots of energy (not bouncing off the wall type of energy – but mental clarity and you feel more motivated to accomplish things) and fights fatigue. I must say that my favorite product so far is the herbal tea.
The supplements – the multivitamin and the Cell Activator and the Cell-U-Loss – are all really good too. The multivitamin is packed with nutrition and provides you with your daily essentials. The Cell Activator helps your body absorb the proper nutrients at the cellular level so you are getting all the good stuff in all the right places. The Cell-U-Loss is the one that I picked for myself because it is good for your skin and is said to help clear up skin problems such as breakouts, in addition to the fact that it is a weight-loss enhancer.
So how are we doing?
On the first day, David weighed in at 175 lbs. His goal is to be at 200 lbs. - but in solid muscle weight - not the beer belly he has now. I weighed in at 159 lbs. and my goal is to be at 125 or a little less.
On the third day, David weighed in at 174 lbs and I weighed in at 158 lbs. Three days and we are already seeing results. Yes - it is only 1 pound but it is 1 pound less than before, not more.
As far as how we feel, David says he has a lot more energy and isn't getting tired in the middle of the day like he did before. Me, I feel wonderful. I haven't had headaches like I had been having, I feel so much happier and less grumpy, and I also do not have the fatigue that I used to have. We both have a lot more energy and feel better overall than we did before we were using the products. I must really say that I am impressed with the product results and taste so far. I’m glad I found Herbalife.
There are a lot of healthy products that you can get through Herbalife that could potentially change your health for the better. David and I are going to put them to the test as we continue down this journey to better health. We will keep you posted on our progress.
Until next time,
David & Crystal
