IN THIS HEAT...STAY HYDRATED!!!

I know it takes about a week for your body to adjust to drinkins 3 liters of water throughout the day. You will get to where you love it!! (You'll have to trust me on this one because I'm not sure how to explain why.)
**Make sure you mix in some Herbalife Tea Concentrate for variety. Add a slice of lemon or orange and some honey, it's very tasty.
(also we call it "drink & shrink")

UPDATE ON BEN (my husband)

When Ben posted a comment on this blog (approximately 3 wks ago) about not having time to exercise but still lost weight..he had lost about 12 pounds.
He has now lost 22 pounds and is down 5 inches on his belly.

I have lost 14 pounds and 5 inches from my belly. This program shapes all of us differently according to need. Remember, no 2 of us are alike so our weight and inch loss will be different.

Regarding "Nourish then Lose"...

Common Sense tells us that a well nourished, well balanced body is going to lose weight more easily and in a more steady fashion than a body that is constantly struggling to get and hold the nutrients it needs.
Keep your body hydrated, nourished, and try to keep the stress level at a minimum and you will be amazed at how easily your body will do what you want it to do and look how you want it to look!! Work with it...not against it.
