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.

SONG OF THE WEEK

LONELY GIRL BY CROSS CANADIAN RAGWEED

Sittin' there with your hair
All in your face
Tears are fallin' like they're in a race
You look down
You look around
Then you look up again
(You) get the feelin' you can never win

Chorus

Tell me your trouble, lonely girl
(What) have you gotten in
You're confused in your own world
You just want the day to go 'way
So you can start it all over again

2nd Verse

Life ain't easy
I'm tellin' you
What everybody said
Yeah, they beat that horse 'til it's dead
Open your window
Open your heart
Open your eyes to see
Everything around you, girl
It's meant to be

Topic: RE: Risperdal

My daughter who is 10yrs old has been on this med since she was 8 and does great on it. She has always been thin, and still is. I havent noticed any significant weight gain on her. Drs all say she is at the right weight. You may experience some change in hunger, just make it be the right kinds of foods.

Love always, Jennifer

   Keep on smilin Ramon, I read your posts and blogs alot. I have been busy doing alot of reading and prepairing myself for my trip to the Losers Bench. Which I am hoping will be soon now, for all my tests and paperwork has been faxed to my surgeons office now.
   I am really anxious about my journey, whereas I have been reading alot of pre-ops are nervous. I dont think I will hit that point. Anxiety has priority over my being nervous.
   My sister is going to have WLS too, but she is not reading and researching like I am, so I am making notes for her, lol she hates that.
   I am going to try and be more active on my friends posts and get to know you all better.
   You have done wonderful on your journey Ramon... Keep it up hero!

Topic: RE: Four Months Sober

Thanks Eileen,
I have been in therapy with a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders, and have also done intensive outpatient treatment for binge eating disorder twice, prior to my surgery. My therapist and I have been addressing all of my addictive behaviors and the underlying issues that contribute to them for twenty years.

I did get a new sponsor, and I am hoping things with her are better. I was sick over the weekend with the flu, so I was unable to get together with her at the meeting we agreed upon. I will try again this week.

Lots of life stress is upon me this week. I am hoping things get better.

Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
