Weight History

I am trying not to stress right now but I have to come up with a 24 month weight history. The only thing I have is only 16 months old. I have tried hopitals and doctor offices but all there records are from 01-02 and my weight was not high enough then. I only got above 40 in about 05. The doctor office said I could write a letter about my past weight, but I don't know where to start. Does anyone hava sample letter or a letter they wrote? Iam just not a writer and don't know what to put or how to start. Any Advice??

a 2 year weight history seema a bit extreme. I would get ahold of them and ask questions. I was told to do the 6 month diet like you're doing because I didn't have a bunch of papers on past weight loss.

I have to do both. I know some people with other insurance have to 5 years of weight History. I called Curves today to see if they still had records from 05 but no luck she already got rid of them.

I'm so sorry your insurance is like that. I wish you lots of luck though.

this is exactly what I am worried about. I will have my 6th month apt for the supervised diet on monday. I am 24 so I dont have any history for the past 2 years at the doctor the only thing I have is when I lost like 20 pounds and my BMI was 36 I called bcbs and asked them could this get me denied and she was like of course you have to have the 2 year weight history. So now I am so scared. I was thinking of writing a letter also.

For those of you who are younger and closer to having attended school, have you tried school records? If you attended college away from home, you probably had to submit a health form. The doctor probably recorded your weight. Just an idea. Good Luck
