Thanks....
Today we released a couple of major updates to Health Tracker just in time for the holidays (as we continue on the path to Health Tracker world domination :). These updates include, 1) Profile display of Health Tracker - If you choose to, you are now able to display/share your Health Tracker within your personal profile. This can be kept completely private, it can be shared with only your friends or with the entire ObesityHelp community. 2) My Workouts - You are now able to build and store custom workouts that can be used over and over again. My Workouts will allow you to log multiple exercise/activity items at one time so you don't have to search for individual exercises each time you want to log your activity or exercise session.
Profile Display of Health Tracker .
The profile display of Health Tracker includes Body, Food Log, Exercise Log and the Macronutrient Report. As mentioned above, this can be kept entirely private or you can choose to share your Health Tracker information with friends, family, your bariatric surgeon or other clinicians.
In order to see the profile view of Health Tracker, when viewing your profile or another member's profile, look for the Health Tracker link to the right of the avatar. If there is no Health Tracker link, the profile view of Health Tracker has been set to private.
The privacy settings for Health Tracker can be found in the "Settings" section of My OH. To access your Health Tracker setting click My OH at the top of any page on ObesityHelp, select "Settings" on the left, click the Health Tracker tab and choose the "Sharing" option. Or, just click here to access your Health Tracker Sharing options :)
Workouts
My Workouts makes it quick and easy to log routine exercise and activity. For those who perform similar exercises on a regular basis, with My Workouts you can create a workout consisting of a series of exercises you often perform and instead logging each exercise indivivudally, My Workouts allows to log a single item (a workout) that contains all of the exericses you have performed. Build it once and log it any number of times.
Under My Workouts you will see a list of workouts that you have created and saved. You can log workouts directly from My Workouts by selecting "I did this", choose the day and click "Save"
You can also search for workouts you have created directly from your Exercise Log.
Create your first workout now!
One other addition
For your convenience, in this release we have also made some changes to the account deactivation process. In case you ever have the need to deactivate your ObesityHelp account, you can access this function by clicking My OH at the top of any page on ObesityHelp, select "Settings" on the left, and under the "General" tab select "Manage". Instructions for deactivating your account can be found there.
Have a great Thanksgiving and look for more updates soon!
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about this release, please post them in this thread on the Main Message Board.
These are all important facts.
My motto is "when in doubt,give the doc a shout"
No question is dumb and no question should go un-answered.Take care of you and get the help you need, even if that help is a stool softener and sitting in the restroom for longer times.
Sitting around isn't always good either, you might want to force in some walking
to ensure things are moving as they should.Sorry, not much help but gave you more questions to answer LOL

I remember "testing" out different foods. Sometimes the foods didn't go so well, I would leave those out of my plans for a bit. Yes, I would try them again and again, in hopes they would/will sometime work. Do they always work out in the end? I will never have an answer for that questions as life is now all about trial and error.
I have embarked on new levels of trial and error in life now, and have moved past the food chains. I have found pleasure in exercising and yes, that was trial and error too! Some things I tried to push past my known limits, thinking maybe, just maybe I can do it this time. People we have to give ourselves time to learn and grow. I found this a hard step.
A couple of the things I have found I can do (in short bits) is to run. I do not get much pleasure out of it- but I can do it! I always had the logic you only need to run faster then the person chasing you! You only need to twist and turn to dodge bullets... the list goes on. Seeing as I live in a place of what I deem safe, I usually don't need to do those two things listed above!
One thing I did the other day that was mindless- I went to go to the upper level of the school, taking 2 to 3 steps at a time. Yes, I skipped steps going UP. What got into me- I have no clue. Was it planned?no. Was I winded? NO. I didn't even realize I was doing it, until I got to the top of the steps. It was kind of a WOW moment.
Just a little thing to share, with those who might also do mindless things, Let us all fess up- Have you done mindless things? Share with us other souls.
