It is still beneficial to get involved in a program that helps to keep you on track to DO that, but no matter what the details are of the nutrition or exercise plan, that is always the basic formula for weight loss.

Getting out even for a walk on a regular basis is a great way to get things rolling when it comes to weight loss, not to mention the added benefit of fresh air and companionship.

As far as Herbalife, or any other supplements, my best advice is to remember that all supplements are just that – supplements. A reasonably good diet and exercise program should always be part of the mix.

I am 36 years old with 2 toddlers. My youngest just started day care last week- which still feels a little strange. I haven’t had this much time to myself in years. First thing I want to do is lose the extra pounds I put on during the last pregnancy. One of the girls next door has suggested I join her walking group two days a week. After my first pregnancy I lost around 35 pounds using the Herbalife products, but when I called the man that sold them to me three years ago he told me this week he doesn’t sell them anymore. He told me to look on the internet. It’s disappointing because he was really nice and he called me regularly to make sure I was using their products correctly. It was nice to have someone checking in with me every week to see how I was and it kept me motivated.

I searched on the internet for someone that sells Herbalife in New Jersey. I found many websites but I don’t want
just to buy the products, I want to find someone trustworthy that sells the products so I can also meet them and get started again.

Could anybody here recommend someone in New Brunswick?.

Thanks, Mary

You share such great wisdom and truths. I bet the people in your area who benefit from your words and deeds have made some of those forever changes as a direct result of your words and ideas.

Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful advice here at Today is that Day!

2. Know that FOREVER change works from the inside out.
If you want forever change on the outside, you need to be forever different on the inside.
Not some temporary, manufactured, pseudo-change but real-deal internal change.
From today you need to think, choose, react, communicate and create different(ly).

Yes, being healthy is something that helps all people from birth to death, but even something as universally positive as proper health can become decidedly unhealthy if people are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Thanks for sharing that point of view!

This statement is straight out of the overall secret to success that Napoleon Hill talks about in Think and Grow Rich:

“Bottom line? There has to be a CLEAR AND FIRM decision behind it and then a solid, conscious follow through. Otherwise forget it.”

As you indicated, Stephen, the problems start when people don’t make and stick to that firm commitment. Once that happens, we can accomplish anything and in any area of our lives!

You are absolutely correct – nutrition and exercise are both part of the equation. However, in each case, by getting into the proper mindset, we are able to do what it takes.

Also, contrary to popular belief, getting in shape does not mean giving up all treats, or exercising like an Olympic athlete.

Making any kind of major personal change is really about changing MINDSET before changing any externalities like physical appearance. To be able to move forward into a healthier future, we have to be able to picture that future and feel compelled by it.

Anyone who “wants” to lose weight because it’s the expected thing for them to do is just spinning their wheels. They’d be better off working on something that is really motivating to them.

You are absolutely right about being brutally honest with ourselves about our desire and commitment to follow through with our mental and weight baggage reduction.

I learned this about a year ago when I finally made a firm decision to lose some weight. Along with that commitment came a life style change including a workout everyday, careful selection of eating habits and a general cleansing of the body, mind and spirit. What I found is if you are very serious with a firm, firm decision, you can succeed.

However if you are “wish-washy” and half-way committed, it becomes much harder and in fact you end up gaining weight rather than losing it!

Bottom line? There has to be a CLEAR AND FIRM decision behind it and then a solid, conscious follow through. Otherwise forget it.
