Hey Michelle,
I have been living under the radar lately, for a lot of reasons, which I will post later.  It is so good to hear from you, and to hear that you are doing well.  Congrats on the sobriety, and the grandbaby.  I have two now, and I love them immensely.

Keep up the good work.

Hugs,
Trish

Topic: Health Tracker Updates In Time For The Holidays - Profile Integration and Workouts

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.

11/24 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Although we came into The Program to deal with a specific problem, we soon became aware that we would find not only freedom from addiction, but freedom to live in the real world without fear and frustration.  We learned that the solutions are within ourselves.  With the help of my Higher Power, I can enrich my life with comfort, enjoyment and deep-down serenity.  AM I CHANGING FROM MY OWN WORST ENEMY TO MY OWN BEST FRIEND?

TODAY I PRAY
May I praise my Higher Power for my freedoms -- from addiction, from spiritual bankruptcy, from loneliness, from fear, from the seesaw of pride, from despair, from delusions, from shallowness, from doom.  I give thanks for the way of life that has given me those freedoms and replaced the empty spaces with extra goodness and peace of mind

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
To give thanks for ALL my freedoms.

Topic: RE: candy...
I was on depo for eight years.  The Depo made me feel hungry and have cravings I would normally not have.  As far as the Halloween candy, you and I are in the same boat, I had to get it out of the house.  My husband is a skinny minnie too, but he understood, he keeps a hand full at work or in his truck, but not around me.  Still crave it, but if its not around I make healthier choices.  Be care full around that purging thing, it can get pretty dangerous and habit forming.  Maybe you just felt guilty for eating the candy, you should definitely take precautions to keep away from it.  Something else I found that helps is keeping some sugar free candy around so that I still get my sweet-tooth satisfied, but I do not feel as guilty for eating it, but be care full with it,  if you eat to much it can do some awful things to your bowels.

11/21 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Adversity introduces man to himself, a poet once said. For me, the same is true of even imagined adversity. If I expect another person to react in a certain way in a given situation -- and he or she fails to meet my expectation -- well, then I hardly have the right to be disappointed or angry. Yet I occasionally still experience feelings of frustration when people don't act or react as I think they should. Through such imagined -- or, better yet, self-inflicted -- adversity, I come face to face again with my old self -- the one who wanted to run the whole show. IS IT TIME FOR ME TO FINALLY STOP EXPECTING AND TO START ACCEPTING?

TODAY I PRAY
May I stop putting words in people's mouths, programming them -- in my own mind -- to react as I expect them to. Expectations have fooled me before: I expected unbounded love and protection from those close to me, perfection from myself, undivided attention from casual acquaintances. On the adverse side, I expected failure from myself, and rejection from others. May I stop borrowing trouble -- or triumph either -- from the future.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Accept. Don't expect.

I am not far enough out myself to say when it will end or get better. Are you seeing a counslor? If not I would highly advise it.

Hang in there,
