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.
