my doctor has got me onto this green prescription thing. basically i had to sign like a contract thing (nothing legal or anything just something to say I would commit to the program) and then a lady from the organisation rings you and talks to you about weight loss, what works, puts you onto a dietician all that sort of thing and they ring you every few weeks to see how you are going and I also go in monthly and weigh in at the doctors and they keep a record of it. The lady is sending me out information on how to start running, how to build up to it etc... and its all free.]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:43:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246724&title=dietition#246724 <![CDATA[Dietition : Yup, PHO&#039;s rock!

Yup, PHO's rock! Willie is on the CarePlus program so his doctors visits are really cheap and his scripts are only $3 each even tho he doesn't have a community card.]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 19:54:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246633&title=dietition#246633 <![CDATA[Dietition : PHO&#039;s are Primary Healthcare...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246585&title=dietition#246585 Author: mummy_becks

PHO's are Primary Healthcare Organisations. You would of had to sign something to belong to one.

That sounds really good. I need to go back to a nutritionist too. I've become far too relaxed about things.]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:21:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246426&title=dietition#246426 <![CDATA[Dietition : That&#039;s cool, that you get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246410&title=dietition#246410 Author: cuppatea

That's cool, that you get all that help for free and is always better to get a few opinions and techniques to try.

What are PHO's and is there anything in particular you have to do to belong to one. Are they for low incomes etc?]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 12:46:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246410&title=dietition#246410 <![CDATA[Dietition : Yesterday when I was at the Dr...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12228&PID=246400&title=dietition#246400 Author: mummy_becks

Yesterday when I was at the Dr for Josh I was reading the clearfile that they have put together about all the services they have and stuff like that. I read that they have a free dietition that can work with you to help you out with things. So I asked my dr if it was worth me going to see her. He told me it wouldn't hurt as I would get a different tryp of help from Weight Watchers.

 So me thinking that it would take forever to get an appointment I was able to get one this morning at 9am.

I went along (by myself YAY) and she took the usual history and stuff like that. From the visit she said I am eating well (as I would hope because of the WW) but I need to up my exercise (trying to find the time is a problem). So I am being given a pedometer to use and I have to aim for 10000 steps by December and I will be seeing a personal trainer (for free) to see what else I can do in the mean time till I start back at Massey and get the gym out there cheap).

If you belong to a PHO see if you can access the same sort of stuff, there are a few other things I may look at doing once I have spoken with my Dr.
