Losing weight can be hard, but one woman says it is not as tough as getting a refund from a weight loss company.
The woman returned unwanted meals just days after signing a contract but getting her money back took some help.
Staying in shape can be hard work, but getting a refund should not. So when a Clear Lake woman tried to get money back from Medifast and she says it took months, Action 13 got involved.
Nancy Holland knows it can be hard to lose weight.
"The older you get, your body changes and this time it wasn't working on my own," she said.
So for help, Holland turned to Medifast, the weight loss meal replacement program, and says she was happy with what she was told.
Lemon Diet
Holland said, "In three or four days of starting to eat their food, you will lose weight."
Holland says she paid $1,400 up front for her meal regimen and left the store with her initial box of 20 meals and supplies. Holland says the first meal, scrambled eggs, was great, but then the trouble started.
Lemon Juice Diet
Holland said, "It boiled over and this was in less time than it was supposed to take to cook. I noticed it boiling over and I had to clean up the mess and I thought if I have to sit here and babysit it, I can't work while it's cooking."
Just two days into the program, Holland decided the meals were not for her, so she returned the products.
