Smartphone weight loss apps?

[Anonymous]

Are you using / have you used a weight loss app?

Which one do you like best and why?

Do you have a success story?

I'm using Noom Weight Loss Coach for Android and have lost over 110 pounds in 15 months. Noom has helped tremendously in getting a feel for cal-amount without getting too dependent on the cal-counting.

When I initially lost weight, smart phones weren't really around yet (or at least they weren't prominent, either way I sure as heck didn't have one). I went from 175 to 120 pounds by cleaning up my diet and exercising a lot, but it took me a while because I was also in high school and I'm easily tempted.

Now I maintain my weight with MyfitnessPal. I never want to get back up to where I was and I have the WORST metabolism. I can easily gain 4 pounds in one day if I'm not careful so I make sure that doesn't happen.

That's awesome. I'm already planning ahead on how to best keep my ideal weight once I reach it. Great job on doing that with MyFitnessPal. And of course...congrats on the weight loss. :-)

Thanks, congrats to you as well.

I used MyFitnessPal when I was losing weight. It kept track of my weight loss, my calorie intake, my calorie burn from workouts, etc.

I lost 150 pounds :-)

Nice! That sure is a success story. Congrats on the weight loss! MyFitnessPal is great too. I ended up picking either MFP or Noom. Noom made the cut though :D

step one: turn off smart phone.

step two: get outside.

step three: play/run/workout:D

Lol. My 110 pound loss tells me that the nightly meal-log wasn't doing any harm, so I think I will let my smartphone be hahah - but you are right. I could NOT have done it without sports / enjoying the outside. The app was just a helpful tool I wouldn't want to miss anymore :D

Nah I never will either

[Asker]

Just not for you or do you have a specific reason as to why not to use these apps?

[tiredofwaiting]

Tried them and they weren't for me

[Asker]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! :-)
