    god these people really have a bee in their bonnets about gillian. I wonder if they have weight problems themselves. I don't follow her diet it's too complicated (i only wanted the bike) but I'm sure she has helped a lot of people out there with their weight wether she is a dr or not. If people don't want to watch her they only have to turn over the tv.
    HOW MUCH ?

    I am all for help and advice for anyone with a weight problem (including me) but when people promote themselves on fictional qualifications and mislead people with dodgy statements about nutrition, it is only right that they are taken to task. Just sad that it has taken so long :confused:

    You don't need any qualifications to help and support people to lose weight (look at the sucess of WWatchers) WW don't promote themselves as experts / scientists of nutrition.

    At the end of the day, it is down to individual choice, how and what they use to lose weight. The theory is simple - eat less and exercise more, the practice is much harder - as we all know!! ;)

    I hope you get your bike :T
