"I'm in better shape now than I was at age 25."

Looking to lighten up:
After high school, Lenny Totora's weight continually climbed until he reached an unhealthy 330 pounds. Plagued by Type 2 diabetes, psoriasis, acid reflux and a bad back, Lenny realized that losing weight was no longer an option, it was a do-or-die situation. "You name it, I had it. My health was horrible and I needed to change my lifestyle or else," he says.

Reaching out:
Lenny knew someone in town who worked as an Herbalife Distributor who set him up with the Thermojetics® Green Weight-Management Program. Within a month he was losing weight, and he ended up going from 330 to 230 pounds and his waist size dropped from 52 to 35 inches. Not only that, but he was full of energy. He took his weight loss even further and is now down to 215 pounds and counting!

A life-changing experience:
"Herbalife gave me the energy I needed to get back into the things I loved, like music. I had neglected a lot of things because I felt tired and sluggish all the time," Lenny explains. "The other major change that happened is my health improved so much that I was able to get off all the medications I had been on within a month. Two to three months on the plan, my doctor said, ' Whatever you’re doing, keep it up.' "*

Favorite "thin n' fit activity": "In the morning I get on the treadmill or go for a walk around the neighborhood for about 40 minutes. In the past I would've said, 'forget about it.'"
