My insurance (PCIP) requires me to document my exercise during the 6 month medically supervised diet. I'm not sure exactly what they expect of me and am afraid of denial based on not doing enough, but at this weight...what do they expect? Has anyone else had to do this? If so, please give me some advice. BTW, this documentation is to be done by me, not my medical care provider - which sounds strange to me. Thanks!

I didn't have to do this, but do you belong to a gym? Maybe you could get a printout of your visits for 6 months?

That is a good thought, but I don't belong to a gym. I was told to document it however I want...daily, weekly, monthly. I'm just leery of not doing enough to satisfy them. Maybe they are just looking for a commitment like the 6 month medically supervised weightloss requirement (which they want me to fail so that I can be approved). Funny thing is...the exercise documentation necessity is not mentioned in my policy - only in the insurance company's criteria for approval (which they emailed to me at my request). Sounds like a loophole they are hoping I won't discover!

if u ever join weight watcher before any diet program like that or go to your doctor and do the 6 month diet with him or her or maybe hey have already have recorded weight lost I had to do it but my doctor was already monitoring my weight so she just filled out my 6 months

I am hoping to get a fit bit flex. It keeps track of your exercise and it will download right into a program like my fitness pal.

What is a fit bit flex?

It is a pedometer you where on your wrist. It will track how many steps you are walking and it will download into the my fitness pal app. Maybe one of the forum members can better explain but it looks pretty slick.
