"I almost died when I was two-and-a-half years old because I was so heavy," says Marc.

But that was only the beginning of numerous physical and emotional problems Marc's obesity would cause him. Twelve years ago, when Mark's weight reached 385 pounds, he fell into a severe depression. Still, his weight kept climbing, and he topped out at 528 pounds.

"I've been looking for a weight-loss solution my entire life. I though I had tried everything."

Marc was introduced to the Thermojetics® Weight-Management Program by Rollande Gilber, a friend of his mother's who also happened to be nurse.

"I told her that I would only try the program if she could guarantee I wouldn't be hungry," he recalls. "She not only guaranteed it, she proved it to me by giving me the products."

Determined to give Marc the will to live, Rollande monitored his extraordinary progress.

• After one month of following the program, he lost 40 pounds.*
• Two months later, he lost 62 pounds.*
• Four months into the program, he lost 100 pounds.*
• In a mere 20 months, Marc lost 275 pounds.*

"As soon as I started the Thermojetics® program, I was full of energy and was never hungry," says Marc. "Rollande was right about everything she said Herbalife would do for me!"

"Today, Marc weighs 253 pounds, less than half of his starting weight. His waist size shrunk from 88 inches to 42 inches."*

Now Marc exercises regularly, jogging, walking or swimming four to five times a week-something he could never do when he weighed over 500 pounds.

"I have newfound energy and a lust for living," says Marc,"and I want to help people with the same problem that I had. Herbalife was the answer for me, and I know it can be for others, too."
