I am 32 years old and have suffered from the condition known as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) since I was 19. This meant that I was totally unable to control my weight and seemed to go from a size 12 to 24 within a very short period of time. My hair started to get very thin and fall out. I was constantly tired all the time and found myself having to have a sleep during the day just to keep going. I did not have a regular menstrual cycle and would sometimes go months without having a cycle at all!! I would constantly be in pain and was bloated (looking about 6 months pregnant) and uncomfortable all the time and my mood swings were unbearable for the whole family!!!

As I am sure you can imagine this had a massive impact on my life. I had to give up horse riding (which I loved & owned my own horse), I had no self-confidence and would not go out at all. Even trying to buy things like clothes became a major issue.

I had tried practically every ‘diet’ that was going and even some that people had never even heard of and had probably just been ‘made-up’ out of sheer desperation. Nothing seemed to work to any degree or length of time. Unfortunately, the only way to try and control this condition, because of it being mainly hormone related, is to lose weight which to me seemed a completely impossible task.

I started on the Herbalife products (F1, F2, F3 & Thermo) at the beginning of January 2002 and was fairly sceptical as nothing had worked previously. Within 3 days I started to feel better and my husband noticed a change in my mood swings. Within my first 15 days I lost 19lbs and 13 inches and as you can imagine I WAS DELIGHTED.

I also suffered from horrendous back pain following a major car crash which sometimes resulted in my legs going numb and I was unable to walk or stand for any length of time. For this I was on massive amounts of pain killers and having to have steroid injections into my spine. I stopped taking prescription pain killers within 2 weeks of taking Herbalife products. I am now able to get out of bed and stand up straight immediately rather than half an hour later!!!

I have now been on the products for 12 months and in total have lost 85lbs and 72 inches and have dropped 6 dress sizes. My energy levels have gone through the roof and I have so many more hours in my day now to spend with my two young children. My hair has also started to improve and thicken up and my cycle has completely returned (better than ever before). I no longer suffer from mood swings, PMT, pain or bloatedness.

I would go as far as to say that these products have given me back my life and have had a dramatic impact on my family life. The even more amazing news is that after 11 years I now have my horse back and have started riding again without the fear that he will collapse beneath me!!!

I hope that this inspires those who suffer with this condition that with proper management this CAN BE CONTROLLED AND NOT CONTROLLING!

Good luck to everyone!
