hello world!
Wow! This is my first post here! What an exciting occasion! yada yada.
Who am I? I’m Jen Leheny and I’m a crafty wahm from Canberra in Australia. I already have a crafty blog at www.jenleheny.com but I wanted this one to record my journey to a healthier and slimmer me.
The photo above is from about a year ago (the long hair is short now) and you can see why I want to lose some weight. I have the classic mummy tummy (or jelly belly) and I want to be a yummy mummy, dammit!
I am currently 86 kg (189 pounds) and I want to get down to around 60 kg (132 pounds) by my birthday in April next year. I am hoping to lose 10-15 kilos by Christmas, and then keep going to my goal weight three months later.
Up until a week ago, I would routinely skip breakfast, lunch and snacks during the day, then eat a pretty healthy dinner. The killer was that every night I would pig out while watching TV on the couch. Bad habits! It’s time to change!
Join me on my journey!

I just thought I would pop over from your crafting blog and wish you luck! Not many of us either haven’t been where you are or are still going through it so I feel for you. Throw out the telly. We don’t have TV and everytime I am around one I am struck at how much all of the advertising affects me and how much more I want to eat (all crap of course!). Remember be kind to yourself and good luck. (BTW- I love your pillowcase dresses, that is a definate for my daughter. Adorable.)
Hello, This is Mary
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
Hi Mary,
>From one mom to another I think I have a solution for you!! I want to lose 40 pounds, and I’ve lost 28 so far!!! I am feeling fantastic and have more energy than I did when I was in college. I went through three different Herbalife distributors until I found the person I felt really actually cared about me and helped me to start getting results. The bottom line was that I wanted to find somebody that could offer me good prices, but that could also check in with me to make sure I was doing ok.
I used to drive two hours to meet with my first distributor in West Haven, Connecticut. I even brought the girls with me a few times because I couldn’t find a babysitter. Today my Herbalife coach does everything over the phone and it is much easier with my busy schedule. You can order Herbalife online on his website, you get the shakes a few days after with FedEx and then you can setup a telephone meeting once a week to make sure you are doing the program right.
His name is Danny Castello and his website is www.goshape.com. The number is (310) 928- 3835. He and his girlfriend Michaela actually do most of the coaching together as a team, but she has an Herbalife site as well: www.puresteps.com. He does most of the motivation on the call and gives you important facts regarding nutrition. He can be a bit tough but he really wants you to get results. She is a bit softer- so they make a good combination. Actually I also recommend joining his newsletter first so you can see the articles on nutrition. They also have videos so you can see who they are before actually calling them. Its nice because they actually use the products too. You can see on their websites.
Hope this helps!
