The Interview asks important questions regarding your health. Read the instructions on each screen, and answer all the questions that you can. It is okay to leave answers blank. The more answers that you provide, the better the Interview can help evaluate your current health and establish goals to meet your personal weight loss plan. Each section of the Interview provides information to help you answer the questions. To answer the Interview questions, make your selections from dropdown lists or, in some cases, type directly into the fields. The Interview asks you to set health targets and to schedule Calendar Events to achieve them. You can schedule other Calendar Events later in the Smart Health Calendar. If you re-take the Interview, you will not see the plans that you have already scheduled from the Interview. Do not schedule them again, or you may see multiple entries in your daily Calendar.

This advances to the next screen. Continue until the end of the Interview.

You are now done taking the Interview. When you are done taking the Interview, your regular exercise and up to four diet pills that you scheduled appear in the Smart Health Calendar. Your goals, targets and meal times are also found, and can be modified, in the Smart Health Calendar or the Managers. If you want to schedule an exercise that is not listed in the exercise list in the Interview, it might be on the longer list in the Smart Health Calendar. If not, you can create your own exercise later in the Smart Health Calendar. If you need to schedule more than four diet pills, you can take the Interview again later. If you re-take the Interview, you will not see the plans that you have already scheduled from the Interview. Do not schedule them again, or you may see multiple entries in your daily Calendar.
