I understand that this must be through a dr, and that all the time I did WW on and off, may not count.  I have plenty in my medical records about trying different programs, but nothing "officially" on a dr plan, since my dr believes that WW is the very best diet out there. My biggest issue, they don't have a scale that will show my weight...another reason I have done WW in the past.   I stopped going a few weeks ago to WW and decided to try a nutritional group at the hospital that starts early September -- it is a 12 week program. Since the dr can't show my weight in their records, will my "discussion", WW, and this nutritionist program count?

If your Dr. recommends WW then thats the diet you should be on for the 6 months, but you must see your Dr. each month to go over your diet, exercise, etc.  I have a form that may help, let me know and I can email it to you. jen [email protected]

Jen Would you share the form with me as well....I seem to be having the same problem with my 6 months supervised program. Thanks Africa [email protected]

I wish you would share the form with me. It would be greatly appreciated. Going to Dr. 9/20 if you could email me by then. 

Sorry I don't know if I sent it to you. I normally don't check this board, if you sent me a PM or email I hope you received the document.

I posted it in another post or if you send me your email address I would be happy to send it to you. Best of luck, Jen [email protected]

If you could send that to me also?  Thank you

Sure just send me an email with your email address. [email protected] Best of Luck Jen I've put it here but don't know if it will work for you to print it.
