Chris ~ Hello there.  As others have said, in time the hair loss will stop.  It took a while for my hair loss to stop, but will say mine is coming back.  I continue to take supplements -- biotin and zinc.  Dr. V likes one and Dr. Sax likes the other and you can take them together which I did double check with Amy.  The supplements won't stop the hair loss, but will help the strength of the new hair growth.  ~ Sandy

Topic: Health Tracker Update: Meals and Reports

Last week we released two major updates. First was the public release of OH Groups where any ObesityHelp member can now create their own Group. Second was the addition of Activity Tracking to Health Tracker, which provides a robust and easy to use tool to track and monitor your exercise and activity. Today we have added My Meals and an Activity vs. Weight Loss Report to Health Tracker. 

My Meals

My Meals allows you to group and store multiple food and beverage items as a custom meal that can be used over and over again. If you have meals that you eat on a regular basis, you will no longer need to log each food item individually. 

To access My Meals, go to your Health Tracker in My OH and click on the Nutrition tab. You will see My Meals listed under Nutrition.
Creating a new meal works similar to your Food Log. You can search for food items on the right and add the foods to the meal on the left. A Calorie Breakdown chart and Nutrient Summary Label are also available for each meal.

Once a meal is created you can add that meal to your Food Log from My Meals by clicking "i had this" or you can search for the meal from your Food Log.
When searching for a meal to add to your Food Log, all meals will be returned when "My Foods" is selected in search. So, to "drill down" on meals that you have created, select to only show "My Foods." When a new meal is created it may require up to 30 minutes for that meal to be indexed and become searchable.

Activity vs. Weight Loss Report

Adding to the Macronutrient and Export Reports previously available, there is now an Activity vs. Weight Loss Report. This report will allow to compare Average Time in Activity vs Weight over time, providing you with further insight into what impact physical activity as on weight loss and weight loss maintenance. In Health Tracker, click Reports and then select Activity vs. Weight Loss.

We hope these additions to Health Track reduce the time required to log your daily food intake and makes it easier to view how physical activity impacts your weight.  

Create your first meal now!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about this release, please post them on the Main Message Board.

Topic: RE: SAGA continues--Vent---long

Missed you at the meeting last week, Are you ok? Haven't heard anything from you and just wanted to make sure your ok. Will you be at Julie's meeting? Have you meet with any other doctors. I really wish there was something I could do for you. I know you are probably getting frustrated and discouraged but this will pass and things will start to look up again.

Hope all is well, Keep in touch

My friend Liza I have a good feeling about your WLS this time around, I'll keep everything crossed right up until you have the surgery. I am so looking forward to you sitting next to all of us on the loser's bench. Will you be at the meeting next week?

Keep us posted and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
