Confessions of a (previously) gluten-free failure
Hi, I'm Tracey. It was 12 years ago that I discovered my gluten intolerance.

I met my first major goal today!!

Well, first I high-fived a stranger and explained to her that the reason for my funny squealing noises on the scale was because I am now officially no longer obese. Then I had to practically run to the truck, because I was crying from the relief. I have…

My first ocular migraine

Last night I woke up at 1:00. Focus and concentration at work has been severely impaired today. There is a…

Mobile Fitness Pal error
Hi everyone, I just started using MyFitnessPal this week, on my Android phone, and I love it. But this morning, when I went to log my breakfast, it said I had already used 543 calories today, yet I hadn't even logged in previously! I figured out how to find the foods that were added here online (couldn't do it on my…
