I need to join a program...any ideas?

I need to enroll in some type of program for my insurance to start paying for phen and xenical.

They told me it can be anything...weight watchers, a gym, whatever.

I just do not know what I want to do. I have done WW before and I did not like going to the boring meetings.

I would like to find a free program to join! Like a walking group? I have no idea. Just something that is cheap (or free) and easy to get to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Any ideas?

All I can think of is the Partnership for Prescription Assistance:

Other than that, I know of nothing. :( I'm sorry I can't help more.

Thanks, Ian...but that is not what I need. I am looking for some type of weight loss program to join. Like Weight Watchers or Curves. Something I can attend.

Ah ok. I guess the only thing you can do is find the cheapest gym in your
area or take the initiative and start your own local group of some sort.

It can be very fun!

Maybe check the phone book in your area for something like an overeaters annon. They are a free group. Most of the ones I can think of cost :( here is a link to try http://beehive.thisissouthdevon.co.u...teHome&ID=8674
I hope it helps.

cyn,
I will look at that. What other ideas do you have? Even the ones that cost money. I just do not really want to do WW. I am looking at some gyms, but have not made a decision on any of them yet.

Maybe if you tell your insurance about this place it will count.

Just a thought.
