I assume you must be a consultant.

I tried these Vitamins and supplements and I really try to give things the benefit of the doubt. But I spent a lot of money on the diet supplements, went home and openned them up. Ugh the smell to me was rancid. When I went back the next day, the woman refused to open the door and when I asked for a refund, she denied it and told me...good luck. You already opened the bottles. I took them home and figured well I'm stuck so I might as well plug my nose and try them. I did. Gagged. Threw up. Called the company and again I was told since I openned the bottles it voided the return policy. Wow. My son in law works for Nutralite and what a difference! Totally oposite everything. I've returned half empty bottles and have not had a bad experience with them at all. Now I am sure there are people that have good and haven't had good with Nutralite and Herbalife! But then this is my experiences. Thank God we are not all alike and we get to have choices.

I think it's funny you assume I'm a consultant just because I like the product. I'm not. I do enjoy the product and it's what has worked for me.

I have an honest question, so don't get offended...but from what I understand about Herbalife, doesn't it go against all the Band Rules we have been taught. Isn't it mostly based on liquid Meal Replacements?

I tried Herbalife back back 2002 and it work while I was taking it. But it is expansive, like $220 for a month just for the pills and Califdreamer you are right the smell of their products is terrible. In time I got used to it, but my hubby was complaining, i tried brushing my teeth using mouth wash nothing helped.

I actually talked to my doctor about it this morning and e said go for it! He said that if it working for me then so be it. So I am going to continue it. It's expensive but if you are using it as a Meal Replacement you save that money. Or else I do do I guess it's just whatever works

Hey, guys! I just registered because I felt I should chime in here to try to clear up some misconceptions and offer my own experiences in case they're helpful.

First, full disclosure: I am an Herbalife distributor.

I signed up just over a month ago to get the wholesale discount after my wife and I got started on the product.

Before Herbalife, I went from 291 pounds down to 160 doing Wii Fit (and Wii Fit Plus!) and really working hard to exercise daily and watch what I ate and limit my portions. I find the idea of surgery frightening, and frankly it was out of my means at the time to afford it anyway. That took about 3 years, and I hit a few walls along the way. Finally, it took me about 6 months and struggling even harder to break 155. Getting started was incredibly hard, but those last few hurdles seemed even harder, even though I was in much better shape by then.

When my wife and I discovered how delicious and nutritious Herbalife shakes are, we were more than happy to give them a chance. She was still trying to lose a few pounds, but my main concern after being overweight most of my life was keeping the weight off. I love my pizza and snacks! After using Herbalife for a full month, I've gone down to 145 pounds without even thinking about it (so, just under 10 more pounds). And, honestly, we've been cheating and skipping exercising since our schedules conflict (we had been exercising together every day previously), so that blew my mind. Mainly though, I'm not limiting my calories anymore, so it was a shock to me that I could lose more weight. My wife didn't have her shake in the morning yesterday and remarked at how much less energy she had during the day. I've found that I have a lot more energy too, and I get up earlier now. For me, it's like having dessert for breakfast!

In regards to cost, between the two of us we spend about 3-4 dollars a day on the shakes (depending on how many we have). We have them on the go, and then sit down to a feast together every night.

Regarding taste, as I mentioned, I am new to Herbalife, so I don't have experience with their older products. I know they have changed their formula a number of times over the years, both in response to new scientific developments, and specifically to remove ephedra when it became clear years ago that it had lethal side-effects. It is also possible that some folks who experienced bad taste or smell received expired product, which is shameful considering the expiration is generally one or two years out.

Additionally, distributors are required to refund ANY product within 30 days, even if opened. We are responsible for giving the customer a refund (based on how much is left) and making arrangements with the company ourselves for return and reimbursement. It is unfortunate (to say the least) that not everyone is demonstrating the level of integrity that any reasonable person would expect. Never mind questions of ethics, as a customer I want to be treated much better than that; and as a business person, I want my current and former customers to have a positive experience, because that reflects on me and brings in repeat business and referrals -- not to mention good karma!

What I really like about Herbalife is that it isn't a weight loss company -- it is a nutrition company. I was almost 300 pounds at another point in my life as well; and while I lost most of the weight then, I gained it all back because I did it in a way that was not sustainable. I didn't give my body everything it needed, and I didn't find more appropriate things to snack on and develop healthier habits.

I wish each of you all the very best in meeting your weight loss and health goals. I know from experience how difficult it is, not only from a physical standpoint, but emotionally and psychologically as well. And if you've made it this far and read my entire post, thanks for your time! If you have the patience and determination to listen to me ramble, I have no doubt that you'll succeed. It's only a question of when and how.

Take care!
