  "Six months after using the Ultimate Program, I lost 12 inches from my waist-and I went from size 50 pants to a size 38!"*
Dempsey J. owned an auto parts store in 1995, but he had to rely on employees for any hard labor, such as changing a customer's tire. "I had problems bending or stooping, and my feet and legs became numb if I sat down for more than 30 minutes," he says.
"I weighed 342 pounds, and I was tired of dieting."
"A good friend sent Herbalife Distributor, Ellie Webber, to see me," recalls Dempsey. "She followed me around the store for two hours! Finally, she asked how much I spent on meals and convinced me Herbalife would save me money.
"I didn't want my wife to know I'd spent money on one more weight-loss plan," says Dempsey. "But the results started to show right away, and she kept asking me what was going on."
"Six months after using the Ultimate Program, I lost 12 inches from my waist-and I went from size 50 pants to a size 38!"
Dempsey has maintained his 105-pound weight loss for more than three years. He is now a scout master for his two sons' Boy Scouts troop, and he readily takes part in their outdoor endurance activities. "I'm doing things with my sons today I wouldn't even try before Herbalife, such as rock climbing, a 75-mile bike ride and a five-day canoe trip!" |

  "I lost 100 pounds in just eight months!"*
As a professional athlete, Jeanette S. used to be able to eat as much as she wanted. Once she ended her athletic career, she continued eating that way-and gained weight as a result.
"At 250 pounds and a size 20, I was always tired."
"After my mom and my grandma started me on Herbalife's Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I immediately felt better," Jeanette recalls.
"I lost 100 pounds in just eight months!"
When she discovered she was pregnant with her second child, Jeanette was excited but concerned that she'd gain the weight back. Instead, she maintained her initial 100-pound weight loss and shed 10 additional pounds-in just six weeks after the baby was born!
"I lost 15 more pounds and shrunk to a size 4," Jeanette says. "I have so much more self-confidence!"* |

Myth 4: Fat-Free foods help you to keep weight off |

  "I had all this energy - I was like a whole new person!"*
When you weigh 304 pounds and constantly suffer from heartburn, working in a bakery can be a chancy proposition. Such was the case for Scott Larson.
Scott was a perfect candidate for the Herbalife weight-loss message when he heard it just before Labor Day in 1995. "It was a weight-loss flyer that came over the FAX machine at work," recalls Scott. "And I had just gotten out of a meeting with the insurance company-they had just given me a high-risk rating!"
"I lost 50 pounds in the first three months. I had all this energy-I was like a whole new person!" Continues Scott, "Following the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program, I went from size 50 to size 38 pants. And the insurance company reassigned me to 'preferred risk.' All this, in just one year!"
"Herbalife isn't just a ‘diet'-it's a nutrition program. It allows your body to get healthy!" Concludes Scott, "I had a physical, and my doctor couldn't believe I wasn't exercising. Even people who don't think they have any health problems will be amazed at how much better they'll feel after starting this program!"* |

Myth 5: the only way to lose weight is by starvation |
| |
Truth:
starvation only leads to yo-yo dieting. Its bad for your health and will not provide you with a long term solution. Our program will allow you to safely and effectively lose weight and keep it off without endangering your health. |

  "After wearing a size 12 for so long, it's a wonderful feeling to put on a size 4!"*
"I tried everything to lose weight," says Tonya J.. "I walked three miles a day, skipped meals, cut back on fat and calories-but nothing worked! I'd even been a slave to aerobics, to no avail. One of my biggest problems was retaining fluids."
"It got to the point I couldn't even get my wedding ring on!" "I hated the way my stomach always looked big, no matter what clothes I wore or how I tried to stand and hold it in," says Tonya. "A friend of mine introduced me to Herbalife, but I didn't believe it would work for me."
"I lost a whole pant size the first month!" The Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program is so easy and the results are so amazing! The products eat away the inches-and my water retention problem quickly subsided. As my body got thinner, my energy went up-and I wasn't even exercising!"
"After wearing a size 12 for so long, it's a wonderful feeling to put on a size 4!"
"Eventually, my husband tried the products too-and lost 30 pounds," says Tonya. "Every once in awhile we have to pinch ourselves to make sure everything that's happened is really true!" |

| |
Truth:
long term weight loss is our goal. We can show you exactly not only how to lose that weight, but to keep it permanently off. We have a long term maintenance program designed to allow you to eat the regular foods you love and maintain your new trim figure. |

  "With the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program I was able to eat the foods I like and still lose weight."*
Eleanor M. had been a petite woman most of her life-that is, until she had two children. "For the first time, I gained weight, eventually ballooning up 65 pounds," she says. "I weighed 170 pounds and no matter what I did, I couldn't lose weight."
"I tried all the weight-loss products on the market and counted every gram of food that went into my mouth, but nothing helped," says Eleanor. "I was ashamed when I didn't lose a single pound. When I did lose weight, I always gained it back, plus more!" "For 15 years I fought a losing battle with ‘yo-yo' dieting to get my old figure back!"
"When I was introduced to Herbalife in 1995, I lost six pounds in two weeks and began to feel incredible amounts of energy," says Eleanor. "Suddenly, I had hope that my life would get better." "I never thought of Herbalife as a 'diet!'"
"With the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program I was able to eat the foods I like and still lose weight," Eleanor recounts. "In fact, I never felt deprived, and it was reassuring to know I was approaching weight loss in a sensible, comfortable way." "My body is so smooth and toned, I can even wear a bikini!" |
