"It was an easy program for me to adjust to."

Scaling up:
Sarah Steward used to be a scrawny kid, but as she inched toward adolescence, the scale inched up with her. Sarah's mother grew concerned about her daughter’s weight and took her to the doctor. "We were convinced that there was something wrong," says Sarah, who is 15 years old, "but we soon realized that my bad eating habits and lack of exercise were the cause of my weight gain."

Things were out of control:
She had never tried to lose weight, but Sarah felt things were out of control and she needed to do something. "I only had three shirts that I felt comfortable wearing and two pairs of jeans," the high-school sophomore explains. "I didn’t look or feel good so I was very upset." Her doctor recommended that she try Herbalife Weight Management Program, and soon she was on her way to a healthier lifestyle.

Happier and healthier:
At first, Sarah worried about looking like she was on a diet when she was at school, but her sponsors helped her work out a solution that was comfortable. She found ways to take the supplements before and after school and created a Thermojetics® Formula 1 Shake bar recipe to take for her lunch . In nine months, Sarah took off 59 pounds and 73.5 inches. "It was an easy program for me to adjust to, and I am glad because I am so much happier now," Sarah exclaims.*
