Maureen, Welton, E.Yorks (our director's Mum)

Some four or five years ago I was advised (medically) to lose about a stone in weight (at this time I weighed 11 1/4 stone). I have asthma and carrying extra weight can make me even more breathless than I normally am. "This is going to be easy" - or so I thought.

Well, it was summer-time and salads were easy; I also happen to like fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, I also like puddings, chocolate, pies etc. - which have been my downfall over the years. I did manage to lose about 6lbs with quite a bit of effort and I was hungry between meals and feeling tired. Fortunately I was introduced to herbalife at this point by a very keen saleslady!

I started a different eating regime, with Formula 1 shakes and the supplements; interspersed with the occasional protein bar. Not to forget the Herbal Teas. Shopping took longer because I was checking the fat content of almost all the food I bought. Also, there were the continual trips to the loo because of the extra volumes of water that needed to be drunk. Extra physical activity took the form of walking, which was very enjoyable as the area where I live is on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds with quite a few hills.

Gradually, my weight went down, my clothes began to feel more comfortable and the inches dropped off. A good excuse to buy some new clothes! I did not feel tired: in fact, I had quite a bit of energy. I felt very well and my breathing tests at the respiratory clinic had much improved.

I am ashamed to say that over the last Christmas period, December 2006, I did put on a few pounds, so I am now on phase two with the aim to weigh less than I did at the end of my first session.

There is so much support from Amanda while you are on the diet: I can thoroughly recommend the Herbalife way to lose weight!

Camayo, Edinburgh

I have had high blood pressure now for about 4 years. It was discovered during a routine check up by a nurse. I had just flown back from New Zealand, so we assumed it was high due to the long flight. I was booked back in for another appointment with the doctor to check it again and when I went back it was still high; the flight had not changed it at all. I went through various blood tests, was given different leaflets, told to change my diet and try not to stress, which is not so easy when you are a sales person in London! Nothing I tried changed it, including yoga, but it was never on a dangerous enough level to warrant going onto drugs for it.

On moving to Scotland I thought that the change in lifestyle might bring it down, but in fact it seemed to do the opposite and went a little higher such that the nurse told me I would need to go onto drugs, which was the last thing I wanted to do. I knew of Niteworks and that it had been proven through medical trials to bring down high blood pressure and thought I should give it a go before the doctor gave me the dreaded pills.

My blood pressure was tested when I started taking the product at 140/90 and after only 2 months of using it, every night, it had gone down to 120/90. A much healthier result and no longer medically termed as high.

Having gotten into the habit of having the product in water before I go to sleep, its now part of my nightly ritual and also helps me to sleep well. I am over the moon with how quickly it has worked and how much healthier my heart is.
