At 21-years-old and 265 pounds, Jon Nickel wasn't feeling like his college years were the best of his life. "A lot of people gain the freshman 15," he says. "But I also gained the sophomore 15, the junior 15 and the senior 15. I was desperate." Finally, a friend suggested he try Herbalife. What happened next amazed him.

"The first month I lost 16 pounds. Within 8 months, I'd lost 72 pounds!"

Jon's results with Herbalife were so dramatic that he quickly became a Distributor. His mother was his first customer and soon he was also helping his fellow classmates. Today, he maintains a healthy weight and enjoys an active lifestyle he couldn't have imagined in the old days. "I go hiking and play racquetball," he says. "I love getting outside and moving around." Although he used to snack throughout the day, hitting the vending machine between every class, he hasn't gone near fast food in years. "The shakes fill me up and give me energy in the morning," he says. "I'm going to be drinking them forever."

"People ask 'How long you do have to drink the shakes?' I tell them 'As long as you want to feel great!'"

Hello all,

Back on August 2010 at age 35 was the biggest of had ever gotten reaching 240 pounds and a 20 pant size.  I decided that I need it to stop what I was doing and change my eating habits because it was taking a toll on me.  I couldn't move, nothing fit, was moody and had no energy for nothing.  I started on my Nutrition Plan and Workout Plan to change my eating habits and learn how to make healthier eating choices.

I had a goal to loss weight by December 31st, 2010 and to be healthy and have the energy to be able to move and keep up with my kids.  December 16th, 2010 came and I had lost 64 pounds and dropped to a 10 pant size.  I got there before my goal date, was so excited and my life truely changed for the best.  Now at age 39 we are in almost half way of 2014 and I have kept my weight off and making healthier eating choices and been very active.

Now I can really say I can enjoy my family and keep up with them because I have so much energy and helping others do that same.    

People ask 'How long you do have to drink the shakes?' I tell them 'I need to eat right? '  Then I will be having a shake for the rest of my life because I know that is the best nutrition I can give my body to maintain it healthy and I feel great!'" 

Before: 240

After: 176 - 64 pounds lost
