Getting Started with Blogging

To get started go to "My OH" then "Blog"

You can keep track of your weight loss surgery journey with your ObesityHelp blog. Long term blogging and tracking has been known to be helpful with motivation and accountability. Some OH members like to use their blog to track the entire process from pre-op to after surgery including their daily life changes.  Others like to take a picture of their food and portion sizes and add favorite recipes.  Some like to blog about their major milestones and non-scale victories (NSVs) while check in once a month for measurements and weigh-ins.  Your blog is here for you to utilize on your journey in whatever way works best for you!
