Success Stories

James H., Weight Loss

61 years old, Las Vegas, Nevada

I was out of shape, overweight, and bordering on high blood pressure. I felt sluggish, had difficulty walking up a flight of stairs at work, and was starting to get arthritis in my knees.

I weighed 265 pounds when I started using Shakeology as a daily noon meal replacement. I began doing the Shakeology 30 workout video every day too. I set a goal to get down to 225 pounds by my birthday on 7/26/2010. To my amazement, after 45 days on the program, I've lost 30 pounds and have gone from a 44 waist paints with a large belly hanging over to a 38 waist. And I can look straight down and see my toes, which I haven't been able to do for at least 20 years.

Shakeology has really changed my life in more ways than one. I didn't have a lot of weight to lose—just about 10 pounds. I had been exercising on a regular basis but was still having trouble losing those last few pounds. So I started to drink a glass of Shakeology once a day. I noticed within the first week that my energy level had soared! I couldn't believe how much better I felt. I was also sleeping better at night and didn't need that second cup of coffee later in the morning to get me through the day. Getting up at 4:30 every morning to work out was easier too. I attribute that to getting a better night's sleep, as this has been a chronic problem with me for a long time.

Since having my third child in my 30s, I was never able to really lose the stomach. I worked out consistently but still struggled with losing the extra weight I had put on since my last pregnancy 15 years ago. I thought because of my age (I am now 48) that this is the way it was going to be for good. By doing my workouts with Beachbody and drinking Shakeology, I can finally see the abs I've worked so hard for! I don't have the terrible bloating I used to have, either!

Another thing I have had a problem with is my cholesterol levels being higher than they should be. I was not way overweight, but blood tests don't lie, and I was 235 on my cholesterol levels. Since drinking Shakeology I am now at 197. Quite a significant difference!

I'm a very busy person who has a family and holds down a full-time job, while being the support system for my customers. I know from day to day, hard as I try, I don't meet the nutritional requirements that my body needs. Shakeology ensures that I get what I need. My body is now proof of it!

I want to thank you, Beachbody, for coming up with something that's helped me in reaching my health and fitness goals!

37 years old, Lincoln, Nebraska

Shakeology gave me the digestive health to be able to go off my colitis medications. Plus I lost about 7 pounds within the first couple of months where I hadn't been able to lose a pound in my previous 70 days of working out! My digestive health is back on track. I am off my medication and don't have a future appointment scheduled with my GI doctor because I'm doing great! I feel more energized, confident, and healthy. Shakeology made the most noticeable impact on my inside.

Joyce B., Weight Loss, Cravings, Energy

50 years old, Vestal, New York

Since beginning Shakeology in April 2009, I have lost 53 pounds. In October 2009, I was taken off my high blood pressure medication after 2 years! My doctor has told me to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing. People tell me I look thin, awesome, beautiful, and do not look my age. I feel fantastic and much younger. I personally think I look better than I ever have in my life! I can look in the mirror and be proud of my appearance now. My skin and hair are healthy looking. I have more energy, and if I happen to miss taking Shakeology, I feel a difference in my energy level, as it's not as strong.

I believe Shakeology has made a positive healing impact on my digestive system and endocrine system. It has fueled my body with the nutrients it needs so I don't get cravings for wrong junk foods anymore. I can drive by fast food restaurants and even other restaurants and have no desire for them anymore. That has been awesome! Before, it was like those places would "call me" as I tried to drive past them. I never get headaches anymore, do not crave sugar and I'm not snacking at night anymore, either. Another major bonus is that I do not have hot flashes anymore—while in peri-menopause!

21 years old, Roseville, Michigan

I feel so energized!!!! (Yes, those exclamation points are real energy! :) Drinking Shakeology has given me so much
energy, which I used to get from drinking coffee or Red Bulls—not anymore! Throw those nasty things in the trash where they belong and pass me my shaker cup!

One sign that shocked me was how ridiculously fast and strong my nails have grown. I used to wear acrylic nails for years, which forced them to be weak and yellow. They would never grow, and I had a terrible habit of biting my nails and the skin around them. Well, now I get asked, "Are those your real nails?" and I can say yes! I've even stopped the habit of biting! So Shakeology can help break bad habits and treat your body well.

Debbie T., Weight Loss, Cravings

52 years old, Evans, Georgia

Shakeology took away my overwhelming feelings of being hungry all the time. It had an immediate effect on my hunger—stopping it completely! With the leverage of this amazing appetite suppression effect, I was able to muster the needed self-control to stick to my new and improved eating plan. Shakeology is not a temporary "diet" but a permanent ritual in my eating plan!

I can finally get my favorite jeans on without feeling squeezed in! I started drinking Shakeology in June 2009 and immediately began to get off the weight I had gathered from years of bad eating habits! The very first month took 13 pounds off the scale . . . and off me! Altogether I am 50 pounds lighter, and it feels like 100! Before Shakeology I had painful reflux that woke me up at night. Now I never have reflux and I sleep great! My energy is through the roof!

Before Shakeology, I would drive myself crazy craving something I knew I shouldn't have! I felt hungry and deprived most of the time, and had even asked my doctor for diet pills, which he refused. Now Im able to set goals and see myself actually achieving them, no longer a prisoner to my food cravings.

I want to feel this good forever!

Brooks A., Digestive Health

26 yrs., Oklahoma City, OK

In 2008, I was diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis. Since then I've been on a huge amount of meds, from steroids to herbal remedies. Simply going to a movie with friends had become a huge challenge. The VERY first day on Shakeology, I couldn't believe how much energy I had! I'd been an energy-drink junkie for years, and this tasty shake gave me higher quality, longer-lasting energy than any of those sugary, bubbly drinks. After only a week, the shocking results started: the colitis flare-up I was experiencing was nearly gone! I can't begin to tell people how amazing this stuff is. I'm losing weight, getting in shape, and I've been off my harmful medications for almost three months. I believe Shakeology gave my body the nutrients it needed to fight the colitis.
