Let me sing praises to MyFitnessPal!

Who ever created this ap deserves all of my love and adoration! If you are trying to lose weight this can be one of the best tools. I'd heard about this ap from many people before I finally jumped on the bandwagon. I thought I didn't need it-I thought... eh, I am on weight watchers and I have a hard enough time tracking my food there-so how could this ap be any different.

Well people somehow this ap is different. I think its partly because the food database is so large (which makes it easy to track my calories) and partly because my friends and family are using it so it motivates me to keep tracking because they are.

I really have to dedicate at least part of my weight loss to this little gem of an ap! So far I have lost 14 pounds! I am so thrilled about this. My clothing is fitting looser and looking better. I have more energy and I feel stronger. I still have a long ass way to go-but at least I am moving in the right direction. Did I tell you that I am getting my groove back? I'm a flirt and it feels great to be back in my groove.

I do have to add a small disclaimer.... MyFitnessPal alone will not solve your weight issues. You actually have to watch your calories, you actually have to work out-and not just park far away in the parking lot-you have to sweat, you have to move and you have to do it 4-6 times a week. I have worked hard for those 14 pounds. Not one of them just melted off of me-but, it is so worth it!

Happy Monday! Lets have a healthy week!

  1. Have you heard of a Fitbit. I've been using it for 3+ months now and find it HUGELY motivating to my weight loss efforts. I move so much more now because I'm obsessed with seeing the little red and yellow activity lines on my graph. It syncs to LoseIt! So I imagine it would sync to MFP too. I've been using LoseIt! to track my calories, I hear it's very similar to Myfitnesspal, so maybe I'll switch over eventually so we can keep tabs on each other. Keep up the good work! You motivate and inspire me!

    1. I just heard of it today! Do you actually have the little connector piece or do you just do it on your phone? It sounds like it would be very helpful. I actually tried LoseIt! first but MFP worked better because my whole family joined it when we started our contest and John and I do it together now. We've been tracking every day for like 70+ days which I found incredible because I SUCK at tracking! :) You motivate me miss racer! I need to get back in to running... it is my biggest enemy with my big boobs and fat ass. haha
