My Dr. asked for the same thing and I do not know if it was for insurance purposes or not, but I too had my points books and other literature that they had given me. I had thrown away my weight books, who wants to look at them when you are not on program!!! It just made me depressed. I would try using what you have and also copy some cancled checks if you paid that way. Good luck!

I would also recommend in addition to copy the books you have I would make a diet chart listing as accurately as possible what you've done and how it worked etc. Something like: Weight Watchers 1998 lost 50 lbs regained 62 Slim Fast 1998 lost 12 lbs regained 10 Diet pills 1997 lost 8 lbs caused shakes had to quit etc...

Get out your check book... make copies of cancelled checks used to pay dues, or for diet books, groups, classes, lectures, diet pills, supplements, etc., etc. Give them what they want and they can't say no. Good luck to you!
