Online fitness/weight tracker
Do any of you use one of these? Rec's?
Thanks.
Re: Online fitness/weight tracker
I am currently using the Livestrong app. I used My Fitness Pal for a time a few years ago. I just went back to look at MFP to compare, after using Livestrong for 4 months and they look really similar.
I honestly don't use it to track carbs or fat or anything and I never log onto the website. For me the important thing is to have an easy way to track my calorie intake so I don't eat mindlessly, and the Livestrong app has worked perfectly for that.
I've lost 10 pounds since August. It has been a slow but steady loss and I'm eating in a way that I can maintain for a long time. The first 2 weeks I lost 4 pounds...which was awesome. But then I calculated that I would have to keep eating in that restricted way until April to get to my goal weight and I knew there was no way I could keep it up. Losing 3/4 to 1 lb a week for me is much more realistic over the long haul.
Partial credit to the app and partial credit that DH started doing it first, so he has been encouraging and supportive of the process. He has a major sweet tooth, so it is a lot easier for me to resist dessert when he does, too. :-)
