Let's have some fun! What were some of your Summer "YES" moments?
Did you do anything this summer that was a FIRST, or that you haven’t been able to do in many years? Maybe you took your first vacation ever with your kids – no seat belt extender? Did you dust off that bike and ride like the wind without needing oxygen? How about that roller coaster ride you have been dying to go on? Hit the beach in a swimsuit for the first time!?
Tell me what you were doing when you said “YES" about this summer.
You can send me a private message through the site or email me at [email protected] with your summer “YES" moment/s.
Stay tuned to see if yours shows up in our member newsletter!
Take care,

We are excited to announce a number of big updates to Health Tracker; the most exciting being the introduction of Nutrition Tracking. We are hoping to release Friday, August 7th.
Nutrition
While we may be a bit biased, we think the new Nutrition Log here at ObesityHelp manages to be one of the easiest around to use without sacrificing functionality. What sets it apart from the others? Most nutrition logs force you to search for foods on one page, provide the details for a food item eaten on another page, and yet another page to actually view the items you have eaten for any particular day. Bottom line, you can't search for and add items while also viewing what you have eaten. We have streamlined the food logging process so that you can find the food items you are searching for, add them to your food log, view your food log and receive summary reports all on one page. You can also build a favorite foods list, create custom foods and share your foods with the community.
Body
Body has a new look and we have added the ability for you to manage (add and remove) the variables that you would like to track.
Tickers & Widgets
You can now specify if you would like your tickers to display "amount to go" or "amount changed". Tickers can now also be automatically inserted into your messageboard signature and/or profile introduction as you create them.
A widget displaying your macronutrient breakdown averages for various date ranges has also been added. This widget can be placed on any personal website or blog.
Reports
Custom reports can now be created using any number of variables from body and nutrition. These reports can be downloaded as a spreadsheet and make a great document to share with your physician, dietitian, personal trainer and friends.
What Are We Working On Next?
Activity tracking and other oh so fun stuff! Until then, enjoy the new features!

how much you lost?

We all have eating triggers. They might be related to our environment, or emotions, social settings, our mental state or even our biological needs for fuel.
It's important that we identify our triggers, subtle and obvious, so that we can recognize and manage them. Please think about your eating triggers and let's discuss what they are and ways we can manage them so that we don't become slaves to them.Barbara

Shrimp with Corn and Citrus Cabbage Slaw | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This wonderful salad was inspired by a shrimp taco recipe that I found it a Real Simple magazine. I made more of the corn and citrus cabbage slaw and used a lite sour cream. This great summertime meal that takes only 20 minutes! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
