You must be on a 6 month supervised diet. You may have already doing it though. For the past 6 months have you benn in touch with your PCP about your health and weight issues? Have you discussed dieting or other programs or mnedications that can assist you with losing weight? When was the last time you weighed in at your PCP's office at Kaiser. All of these things are considerable with a PPO insurance as being on a medically supervised diet. With HMO insurances such as Kaiser, they will make you do the same by putting you on their opti fast program at your expense, which can be 300-500 dollars a month. If you havent done any of the above make an appointment today with your Dr to discuss your health and weightloss concerns. Unfortunately there is no way around it, you must do a 6 month supervised diet by a Dr. Consider yourself lucky, and start as soon as possible some companies are instituting a 1 year supervised diet. There is no way around it, and the time is going to pass anyway. During this 6month period you can also start other necessary testing, like a physical, seeing a psychologist, make sure your gall bladder is healthy if not you will need an ultrasound of it (if you still have one.) See, there will be lots to keep you busy during the next 6 months! Good luck!

We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared." - MaryKay Ash
