Happy New Year everyone! Weve just finished a championship year in our region. As daily consumption methods continued to help increase success, city by city, more and more Distributors realised the benefits of building a sustainable business through long-term customers. As a result, our region also welcomed a new Chairmans Club member, 7Presidents Team members, 32 Millionaire Team members and262tothe GET team.* From here in the UK, a global sporting event dominated the world stage, and we cheered Herbalife-sponsored athletes who competed, 12from our region. We rooted for all of our teams and athletes in other competitions, and saw our brand shine. Youll read more inside about how were helping athletes get good nutrition through our scientifically-based products. Over 20,000 distributors attended our extravaganzas -from Kiev to Istanbul, from Barcelona to South Africa and their passion was truly inspiring. In Barcelona, we launched the HFF Euro Club and we are asking all Distributors in our region to donate one euro each month to help bring good nutrition to the children in our Casa Herbalife programs. Lets all join together and be the leaders in supporting the 25 programmes in our region. Make this your championship year. Just as our sponsored athletes set new goals to achieve, you too should set new goals for the year. Set your sights on where you want to be and develop a solid plan to achieve your goals. Were rooting for you!

Dear Team Herbalife, Your success is our success. Because of your dedication, hard work and commitment, we continued to make progress in 2012 toward our aspirational goal of 10 billion Volume Points by 2020. Were in this together and its a celebration for all when a customer becomes an Herbalife Independent Distributor; when a Supervisor requalifies; or when an independent Distributorship achieves Chairmans Club. Our drivers of growth include daily consumption business methods, our city-by-city approach and systemized training. Thanks to you and other independent Distributors, we are bringing Herbalife nutrition products and business opportunities to more people than ever before. Keep the momentum going in the new year by following your plan to get to the next level. The top Distributor leadership and qualifiers will be on hand for amazing training, motivational and development opportunities at the 2013 Herbalife Presidents Summit in Paris this March. The upcoming Summit theme focuses on The World of Opportunities. In more than 500 world cities across the globe, Herbalife Independent Distributors are using diverse, city-by-city initiatives, such as Nutrition Clubs, mega HOMs, Wellness Programs, Weight Loss Challenges, Road Shows and more to share the Herbalife products and business opportunity. This is an exciting time to be part of Herbalife. We continue to build it better and stronger, and go wider and deeper, in everything we do. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work. Lets continue to make history in the rest of the Herbalife Decade! Michael O. Johnson

Q&A
What role does nutrition play in your life as an athlete?
Nutrition is very important for anybody, whether they areprofessional athletes or not. As professional athletes, all players must follow a certain nutrition regime that matcheseachpersonsbody.
Speaking with
FC Barcelonas
Leo Messi
Argentinean-born soccer star Lionel (Leo) Messi is one of the most outstanding players in one of the best teams in the world, FC Barcelona. Simply put, this quiet and unassuming soccer phenomenon has been dominating the worlds most popular sport since he made his club debut at just 16years of age in 2003. Letting his playing speak for itself on the field, the forward/winger is now a threetime consecutive winner of FIFAs Ballon dOr (2009, 2010 and 2011) and plays for Argentinas nationalteamininternationalcompetitions.
What advice would you give to youngsters who want to become professional athletes orsoccer players?
Im still too young to give advice to other youngsters. But in life, I think you need to work day by day trying to do what you really like. Because if you can achieve it, youre sure to have a happier life.
The Leo Messi Foundation and Herbalife join in supporting children around the world.

Q&A
told by those who had competed before that it required 2years preparation! However, I had Herbalife products to help me prepare.
Borre recounts how the Norseman starts with a 3.8km sea swim which was in 13 degree water, the cold drains your energy but I found it surprisingly calm which was fortunate as this was the hardest of my disciplines. This was followed by a 180km bike ride where we climbed a total of 4.2km during this section. Finally the 42.2km run was flat for the first threequarters andthenclimbedsteeply for the last quarter.
For more information on the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon visit www.nxtri.com

What was the hardest part of the whole race for you?
To jump from a ferry at 5am into ice cold water is something I had not trained for, and then to swim 3.8km was very demanding. It was very difficult in the beginning when all the racers are lined up and we are held back in a line. When the ferry sounds the horn the race starts. At the start I got kicked in the face by another competitor and I had to turn on my back at the start of the swim as I needed some time to clear my head as the kick made me feel groggy and dizzy.

Benly Sritoomkaew has been through a few recessions in her time. The 37-year-old was looking for work in Bangkok in 1997 when the Asian financial crisis hit and even graduates from the top universities couldnt get jobs. Today she works out of her fixed location in London and is one of Herbalifes top Distributors. Her story as a Distributor personifies that of many Herbalife Distributors around the world, who are transforming and growing their business. In fact her story is attributed as a Distributor for the 21st century and featured in a recent article in top UK newspaper The Financial Times. Now really is the perfect time to be a Herbalife Distributor. We have more product categories, we have more ways as a Distributor to talk to new and existing customers. Our Club in West London is such a happy and fun place every single day! In her geographic reach, Benly is the go-to person when her customers want to top up on Herbalife nutrition. But the customers keep going back to her because they get a little extra value through the activities going on at her club. We do different things, on different days. Ultimately we do these activities because its what we enjoy organising. We have Weight Loss Challenges, Skincare Parties, Shake Parties and more. With our Nutrition Club there are members coming back every day. Amongst the Distributors we have some friendly competition going on based on how many members come in for their daily shake, tea and aloe. This makes it fun and simple but the discipline of doing the preparation and activities is really driving the growth of our business.

As you may be aware a new regulation on health claims has been published by the European Commission. It is a legal requirement that every company in Europe must be compliant by December 14th, 2012. Herbalife have been introducing new claims for our Inner Nutrition products from October in order to meet this new regulation. We also ask if you have created any websites, presentations or marketing materials to please review these in order to be compliant. You can use the information provided in the Product Brochure or on Herbalife. co.uk from November 2012 to determine what can now legally be claimed about our products.
Happy 2013!
2012 was a truly record-breaking year and we smashed our volume records, our PR activities were at an all-time high and we welcomed a new Presidents Team member, as well as substantial growth in all other levels of the Marketing Plan. The best bit there is no reason why this outstanding growth wont continue into 2013! January is the perfect time to give your Herbalife business a boost. People will be looking to shift those few extra pounds they may have put on after indulging during the festivities, or will be looking to get trim as part of their New Years Resolutions so why not start a WLC to help these people reach their goals? Now may also be the ideal time to pitch the Herbalife Business Opportunity as people will be looking to make extra money after spending over the festive period. Get your business off to the best possible start this year this means ensuring that all your marketing and promotional materials contain the correct product claims. For more information on the product claims you should be using, pleasevisitMyHerbalife.com. Wishing you continued success in your Herbalife business.

I had a small computer design company. With Herbalife products I lost six kilos and began to do the Herbalife business alongside the work I did for my own business. Six months later the additional income had exceeded my primary income. The question of employment resolved itself Herbalife has become a way of life and I have never regretted it! Herbalife has brought me happiness and family it is how I met my future husband. Last year our business reached a new stage of development because of the updated Marketing Plan and Healthy Lifestyle Clubs, of which we have more than 350 in our organisation. Business in Siberia developed at such a pace, we struggled to find time even to congratulate our new GET, Millionaire and Presidents Team. Our qualification for the Presidents Team 30K is another indication of the effectiveness of the business model, which we now use in our region. During 20 years with Herbalife, we have helped many people achieve great results thanks to the wonderful products and Marketing Plan. We are proud and love our work and are optimistic about the future.
