How else are you improving your health?
I consider weight loss to be just one part of an overall push I’m making to become healthier and feel better, especially since I know I’m genetically predisposed to a variety of nasty diseases. I’m doing the straightforward: increasing my vegetable consumption, decreasing my sugar and simple carb intake, dedicating time to…

Medical Condition Tracker
Would it be possible to add a tracker for medical conditions or similar? For example a way to enter the time a migraine started with notes.
