If you were truly overweight (not talking just a few pounds) and needed good motivation and had the chance to pay a decent price for a personalized weight plan, menu, exercise plan, emails, etc would you pay the person? And if so how much? I am thinking of doing this for extra money and I am actually helping my husband right now lose 70 lbs. In 2 weeks he has lost 6 lbs so I think I could help other people. Thanks!

No actually to be a nutritionist you do not need to have a license or education. If you want to be certified you do. I do plan on working on getting certified. However certification takes awhile. It can take 4-6 years because you have to have a bachelor's degree plus clinicals.
And also I disagree with the motivation thing. My husband is having to lose 70 pounds due to medical issues and that wasn't enough motivation. It took a serious diet and exercise plan with my help to keep him motivated.

I did some research on diet plans.
Here's the deal:
Weight Watchers - $10.90 to $12 week for some books with points and weekly weigh-in sessions which equals to $43.60-$48 monthly but their support is not really personal
Jenny Craig - $20 for 20 lbs but you have to pay for the food; don't know how much that is.
Nutrisystem - Women's Program 1 month $294-$327 including food but that is just 1 person
I thought maybe monthly $35
