CHARL SMITHMy HERBALIFE life 2016
If you know me, you will know that I LOVE to eat, socialize, drink a beer or two and eat some more... I was never a person interested in doing diets and totally don’t like exercising. I was never overweight during my school years but about 7 years after school I broke the 100kg mark. Fast forward a few years and in 2015 I weighed 135kg at some stage. My weight went up and down and in April 2016 I weighed 129kg. During that April I traveled to Johannesburg to photograph by brother's stepdaughter's wedding and I saw my brother for the first time in a long time. He lost A LOT of weight and looked awesome. He was using HERBALIFE and exercised 3-4 times a week. Exercise and “diet”, two of my least likable things in life :) After talking to him I decided that I will try this HERBALIFE “diet”. When I got back in Cape Town I talked to my wife and she was keen to support me and doing it with me. So, we Googled to find a HERBALIFE supplier and after talking to her we entered the HERBALIFE weight loss challenge for 3 months. From the first day I decided that I will give HERBALIFE a good go BUT NO exercise (didn’t like it and was too fat and uncomfortable to even try something).
During the next 3 months we followed the HERBALIFE “diet” with exception to weekends. So, from Friday Supper to Sunday Supper we carried on like normal for most of the time and had a few cheat meals during the week when we went out with friends. Nothing too STRICT. I was happy with the “diet” we were doing and ate enough without ever feeling hungry during the 3 months. I also had 2 operations during this time and was booked off for 65 days. I played Playstation for most of the time and had to rest because of the operations. So, to be honest, I was happy with that because I couldn’t exercise (didn’t really want to either).
After the 3 month weight loss challenge I lost 13.1kgs (9.3% body fat) and actually won that specific weight loss challenge. I was really proud but also realized that I really didn’t work hard or really made big sacrifices to achieve this. I was really surprised at how EASY it was for me. At the end I came second in SOUTH AFRICA out of all the male customers who entered the weight loss challenge.
So, why am I sharing this with you...
1. Well, to start, I still don’t exercise, but very weirdly I think I want to.... Yes, crazy, I know!!!
2. I am still over weight and I am still using HERBALIFE to get to my target..... don’t ask me what that is, I don’t know :)
3. Yes, I picked up a few kgs over the December holiday
4. I am actually sharing this to show that losing weight doesn’t have to be difficult, I know that I will not have a 6 pack without proper hard work, sacrifices and exercise, but, I don’t want that. I just want to be healthier and feel healthier for the sake of my marriage, kids and my work.
5. So, if you want to give HERBALIFE a go, please contact me or my wife (we are now distributors). You don’t have anything to lose, except some weight, so, why wait :)
