My Amazing Picture - Or At Least It Amazes Me...

This is going to be a really short post because I want to go watch a movie on TV and wind down before going to sleep.







Remember the person in the pictures above - from June and July? The day I started Herbalife, I weighed 159. Well look at me now guys....






I weighed in at 148 today. The jeans I have on in this photo used to be one of my favorite pair of jeans - they fit snug before and now they fall off of me. They do not fit in the waist, rear or legs because I have lost so many inches. I think I mentioned before that I have to put new holes in my belts because they are all too big now.



I don't want to go shopping yet because I still have another 23 lbs to lose before I am at my goal weight. I'm going to hold off on shopping and cinch up my jeans for as long as I can so that I can really enjoy my shopping experience.




Periodically, I'm going to do a 'blog fashion show' with pictures of me in my old clothes. You'll be amazed at my results.




I love Herbalife! Let me know if you are interested in what I'm doing. I can help you get these results to if you are serious about making changes in your life.

Our Business Is Exploding - Have You Heard That Before?

If you have talked to us lately or talked to anyone in the Herbalife business, you are going to hear these words - "Our business is EXPLODING". Guys, it is so true! These words are not just sales tactics trying to get people to join our team. Infact, we screen people before we officially invite them to join us because we want successful and determined people working with us - mostly because we work closely as a team and we don't want to work with people that don't want to work. And let me tell you, we don't need to pull cheesy sales tatics - our business is really exploding at the seams.

As I promised when I first started this blog, I was going to focus primarily on the product results but that I would give updates on the business side as well. I haven't given an update on the business side in a while so I wanted to share with everyone that I am on track for doing $10K of business this month and moving up to World Team if I meet my goals. As everyone that personally knows me is aware, I am very dedicated to whatever I participate in and when I believe in something, I go at it 150% or more. I believe in this business and it is paying off for me. I am still staying at home -haven't had to go get another job since leaving my 10+ year corporate job - and the best thing is I'm working my business from home. Now, not everyone has to do things the way I do them - there are so many options in this business that it will work for anyone that is willing to be serious about making changes in their lives, is willing to learn and is teachable and most importantly is willing to do the work. You aren't going to make money doing nothing - this isn't a magic money maker. It is a real business and it takes real work and real effort.

For me personally, I am putting my money back into the business so that I can make my business grow faster. I am not keeping profits for myself yet - but I will get to that point. Not everyone does it that way, but I know that for me to succeed personally - growing my business is the most important factor in my life other than my family and it is what will give me the financial freedom I desire in the years to come. I am not expecting some magic money maker - I am putting in the time and effort, I am plugging into the training that is available to me, I am using the products (and loving them!) and I am investing back into my business.

One thing that I know my friends and family are aware of is that I keep getting job interview offers for corporate positions - and guess what? I have turned most of them down. If I decide to go back to working a full-time job it won't be because I have to have the money but because it is a job that I really want to do and will be something I love. I don't have to settle - and if I do go back to work, I will use the money to invest more into growing my business because the more I grow it the faster the profits will start filling my pocket book and the more secure my future will be.

I'm not trying to sell anyone on the business side - just sharing my personal results and letting everyone know that even though I was very skeptical at first - it is paying off and I've only been doing this since the last week of June. Think of what may come in 6 months - a year from now - if it keeps going the way it is going. I am not dreaming of success guys - I'm making it happen. Period.

One last note before I sign-off, I am going to post new pictures tonight and give you an update on my product results. Wait until you see this picture! You will be amazed at my results. I know I am.

Quick Update

This is going to be short and sweet. I weighed in at 149 today. This is the first day in over 3 or 4 years (maybe more I really can't remember) that I have weighed under 150 lbs! I am so excited and it is all thanks to the Herbalife products. I feel better. I sleep better. And now I'm starting to look better too!

My skincare program is off to a slow start - I think it is because I was out in the dusty garage all weekend for the garage sale (which went very well by the way - and we had several people interested in signing up for the newsletter after watching the presentation) and the dirt/dust and heat played havoc on my allergies and skin. I didn't breakout anymore but I did get some red spots - but not as many as I used to get when in situations like that. However, they are already diminishing and my skin looks really good compared to how it normally does in the summer. My favorite thing about the skincare line so far is the scent of the cleanser. It smells really good. I like using it. I'm using it twice a day and I am using the mask once a week. I am about to add the night cream and eye gel to my product line but it will probably be next week before I order it.

David has lost 5 lbs. so far - we started seeing results when we added the protein powder to his shakes and he started taking aminogen, along with his other tablets, two times a day. He is drinking lots of water too. He said the best thing about the products for him is that his energy level continues to soar and he feels more focused than ever before.

I'll post new pictures of both of us later this week. I hope you all have a great evening!

Until Next Time,
David & Crystal Koutz

Skincare - Let's Get Started!

So my skincare order came in last night and I couldn't wait to use it. I ordered the NouriFusion® Normal-Oily Cleanser and the NouriFusion® Clarifying Mask for All Skin Types to start with.

As you can see from the picture I posted above (that I took this morning), I have specific goals in mind for resolving my skin problems and reaching my desired results. In the picture, I do not have any make-up on and I had just washed my face with the cleanser to start my morning.

The cleanser has a great scent to it. That was the first thing I noticed when I used it. It didn't foam up too much - just enough to get the job done and it was easy to wash off. I used the mask last night too - it is a green clay mask that has a light scent and is easy to apply and wash off. I immediately felt the difference in my skin after using the mask - it was firmer and smoother than it has been in a long time. I trashed my other cleansers and my other facial masks last night after using the products because I was really impressed with my first day results. I used the cleanser again this morning and the scent was refreshing - especially starting my day out.

I will add the eye gel, toner and moisturizers to my arsenal soon - but I wanted to start with the types of products I use most at the house and go from there. I will compare all of the products I try to the tons of products that I have used over the years - from Olay, Neutrogena, Avon, Mary Kay, OTC and prescription products, cheap, expensive - you name it. I will keep you posted on my results and keep posting pictures so you can see my results for yourself.

A quick and exciting note - I weighed 150 lbs today!!!! I have officially lost 9 lbs since starting Herbalife. David lost a few lbs too - but we'll talk about our weight loss results in another post later this week.

Until next time,

David & Crystal

Coming Soon - Weight Loss Challenge!!!!

Hello Out There.....

Man oh man! Our business is growing every day. We are doing really well retailing the products because the products are awesome. I have had positive feedback from every single customer that is consistently using the products they purchased. We have customers trying to control diabetes, treating sunburns with our Aloe products, trying to gain weight, trying to lose weight, trying to maintain weight, trying to sleep better at night, trying to find a better line of skincare - guys, we have solutions for all of those things and much more!

If you haven't already signed up for my weekly newsletter, send me your email address ASAP to get on my mailing list. Email me at cjkoutz@gmail.com and you will start getting valuable health and wellness information and great deals on our products. I even have a special offer that I can't tell you about for the next 10 people that sign up for the newsletter. This offer is on a first come, first serve basis, so hurry and sign-up. You'll be glad you did!

So, I mentioned my business is growing but I didn't tell you about my product results today. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I was going to start on the skincare line. I ordered my products today and should have them this week. I'll let you know how they are as soon as I start the program. As far as weight - I weighed in at 152 today!!!! Another pound lost and another 3 1/2 inches gone!!! Seriously. I'm even posting a picture below to show you my waistline, guys - I'm not skinny-minnie here but I'm losing weight and you can tell! Check it out:

David is still soaring with energy. He is maintaining his weight right now, which is better than gaining more weight; however, his goal is to get buffed up and we are going to make it happen with the help of Herbalife. I'm the first 'project' and after I reach my goal weight, we are going to start on his. Keep reading future blogs to learn about his success.

The last thing I want to say folks, is that you guys are awful quiet. I have had a lot of people tell me they are reading this blog and a lot of those people are current Herbalife product users. Let me hear from you - post a comment and tell us about your product use - do you like it, hate it, have questions? Let me know what you think. We want to make this an interactive and beneficial blog for everyone - so please let me know how you are doing and share your stories.

Until next time,

David & Crystal
