Anyone appeal the 3 12-week supervised diet requirement with BCBS for AL st employees

I was denied by BCBS for ALA state employees today stating that I do not meet the requirement for "3 12-week physician supervised weight loss attempts with the most recent being in the past year". I have spoken with the appeals board and they are telling me that this is a mandatory requirement. I have NOTHING in the past year. I have done slimfast, Richard Simmons, and metabolife within the past 12 months and that is it. I have not even consulted a dr. about my weight in a few years. Should I just give up and do a 12 week diet with my doctor and then try again? What success did any of you have with appealing based on these criteria? HELP!!
