tacha22001 38 Posted August 5, 2015 I didn't ask her about carbs and fat but we should find out right? She's in the office on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays and she usually gets back to you as soon as possible after you email her. I also told her I was tracking using my fitness pal and I added her as a friend and she was able to go in and see what I was eating instead of me having to tell her all over again which was nice. It made getting help easier for both of us. 1 jwoyolo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jas84047 72 Posted August 5, 2015 Tacha22001 - how'd you get your Vitamins on your tracker? Great thinking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tacha22001 38 Posted August 5, 2015 Umm I can't remember. Lol I'll mess with it and let you know???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tacha22001 38 Posted August 5, 2015 OK I logged onto my fitness pal via computer and went to settings and added it under meal names. I also put Water there so I can use the measurement of ounces instead of cups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tacha22001 38 Posted August 5, 2015 You know that is great that you want to be my friends on my fitness pal because I was looking for some accountability and just knowing that you guys are seeing what I enter and how I track my food makes me accountable thank you.

jas84047 72 Posted August 5, 2015 You know that is great that you want to be my friends on my fitness pal because I was looking for some accountability and just knowing that you guys are seeing what I enter and how I track my food makes me accountable thank you. Me too! I know I don't do this thing the 'perfect' way (carbs are my everything!)... but it's nice to see other's meals to give me some ideas. I always had my meals locked down but that was when I was embarrassed of my 2000+cals/day, lol... now I have some better accountability it's not hard to share. I'm going to get the Vitamins added to mine too. It's not hard for me to remember my Vitamins because they're part of my nightly pill routine but I like having it visible for the NUT when/if she can see it on MFP. For Water, I actually don't typically put my Water in MFP just because I use a different app that reminds me when to drink and is kind of fun. I really like it. You can set your goal by oz and you can set how many/when/oz reminders to keep you on goal for drinking during the day. It's called Hydro Coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keddykat75 57 Posted August 5, 2015 I didn't have to add my Vitamins, I just searched for them like I would food and there they were. I didn't have to add my vitamins, I just searched for them like I would food and there they were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tacha22001 38 Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah my Vitamins came up just like food too But being a bit ocd I had to have my own little space for them. hydro coach I couldn't find it in the App Store. Do you use Apple? Do either of you watch YouTube videos of people that have had vsg surgery? I have found them so helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keddykat75 57 Posted August 5, 2015 I have watched some of vsgtanya2011 and Lauren Losing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jas84047 72 Posted August 5, 2015 I did watch a couple YouTube videos...nothing that stood out though. I'm an Samsung/Android gal... so I bet HydroCoach isn't on Apple. Darnit. Totally get ya on the OCD thing with the vitamins... I wouldn't add them if I couldn't put them in their own category either. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tacha22001 38 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I watched finding Elizabeth and flyegirl VSG love them both can't wait to watch more. I'm too chicken to do videos of my own though. Edited August 5, 2015 by tacha22001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cole225 5 Posted August 5, 2015 How do u guys add oz to my fitness pal I looked last night and couldn't figure it out. I'm having a hard time tracking my stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough calories but I still can't eat more then like 2 oz at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jas84047 72 Posted August 5, 2015 Cole225 - I think tacha explained it above. You have to not do it in the Water section but actually add water as a food.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jas84047 72 Posted August 5, 2015 I have to say putting my horrible food in MFP today definitely had me embarrassed since I have viewers...it's been a horrible day for me... a work party where the cafeteria was closed and not any good choices for me & I'm about to go to a wedding. Ugh....tomorrow will be better! :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
