Stacey, My physician had me document everything that I had tried along the dates, the amount of weight lost, and amount regained. He then submitted it with my paperwork. Fortunately, I was able to give an account going back to 1997 when I first tried metabolife. Have you asked your physician for suggestions? Usually they just want documentation from your physician that he is aware of this being a last resort for you rather than your first attempt at weight loss. Seeing a nutritionist helps as well. I hope this helps you. Tiffany

Stacey,I too needed a weight loss history all I did was make a list of all my diet attempts losses and gains and when . I did as best as I could I know it wasn't exactly right but it did the trick. If you make that list wouldn't your Dr. be nice enough to sign it for you ? If you have any history with your Dr. he should know how hard you have tried to lose weight . Good Luck.

I was fortunate enough to have been keeping a health/diete history for 2 years, to document why (I didn't know?) I didnt' feel well... Anyhow... along w/the food doc, I had daily "don't feel well" inclusions, etc, and it really did help me. I got accepted after 3 days.
