The VA healthcare system has a program for veterans called MOVE. They offer support groups, information, weigh-ins and nutrition counseling. It seems like it would be a great program to be more involved in but I'm having trouble fitting it into my schedule. They have a home program but an analog telephone line is required to plug into a scale and a Magic Jack won't work. The good news is they are working on upgrading to an option that can work with wi-fi networks and I should be able to participate in that once our national evangelistic campaign is over in November. Veterans who are enrolled in the VA healthcare system can participate in MOVE without a copay and may even qualify for mileage reimbursement if they meet low income requirements. VA healthcare can also arrange appointments with a dietitian on an occasional basis even if the veteran is unable to participate actively in the MOVE program.
The MOVE program offers a small survey that can be completed by anyone with internet access regardless of veteran status that will refer to information pamphlets that are also available for free on the internet.
