I got two:

(1) Don't be a sucker next time. NO program that doesn't include
rigorous exercise five times a week could lead to a loss of 15lbs
within three weeks.

(2) Find out herbalife's headquarters number and complain. Companies
like that don't take lightly non-comliance of their agents. I found
there to be about 30 offices of Herbalife in different states. Here's
one of them:

Herbalife
Lodi, CA  95241
(209) 333-9224

You can find more numbers using any of the many Internet on-line
Yellow Pages. Here's one of them: www.switchboard.com.
