Hi Everyone,

I am a fellow lap-bander (banded October '09) and I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my foods, exercise and weight loss goals. It's a great tool. Are any of you members? It is free, if you are interested.

If you are members or become members, what do you think of becoming "buddies" on this site so we can look at what each other eats and excercise, etc. for help and tips?

Reply here or PM me if you're interested. I can give you my email address and you can look it up on Myfitnesspal.com so we can be linked.

Be well,

Renee

I use myfitnesspal to track food and my fitbit for everything else. Since they talk to each other it works well.

I use MFP and fit bit too. I also use the fitbit scale (aria) and all three sync together and give me a very clear picture of my food, exercise, and weight trends. Highly suggest!

Milaxx on MFP *really* looking for vegetarian friends

BTW - if you send a friend request please include a note letting me know you are from here.

I log into MFP every day to log my food and any activity. Easy peasy. Also on the phone app you can scan barcodes. Which is nice for when you are at work and eat a frozen dinner or a cup of yogurt or something.

This is a cool little program for tracking protein for the day. thekirkshelley is my fitness pal moniker

Hello,

Has anyone on here used a health coaching service like Vida or tracker like MyFitnessPal to get in shape?

I just got an email from Vida that they're running a holiday promotion. I signed up for 3 months: vida.com/holidaygift. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I switched over from the fitbit dashboard to MFP. It is so much easier since you can scan bar codes. I try to log everyday. I sync my fitbit and MFP and still use fitbit to log steps.

Anyone that uses MFP please feel free to add me as a friend: tamg26k

I love looking at the food diary to get better ideas

I used to use FitBit and have dabbed with MFP from time to time.

What are the most essential feature(s) you use on these apps on a daily basis ? We're working on our own app that's specifically catered towards weight loss surgery patients.

For me it is the ability to scan bar codes and have the nutritional information added to my log. The food database is massive as well. I have been logging both food and exercise for the past couple of weeks and I've really kept a good eye on my protein, carbs, sugar, calories, etc. I don't pay too much attention to the number of calories I burn from exercise because everyone is different.

Most of the nutritional values are very accurate. I like both the desktop version and the app- very easy to use.

I see a trainer twice a week and I can show him my food logs each visit so he can see how I am doing. I like the fact that other MFP friends can set their profile so others can view their food diary.

I love MFP. I forget to log in some days though

I use my fitness pal everyday and love it. I am really excited because i finally went out ant bought the Fitbit charge since I am working so hard on my exercise. I connected them together last night and just finished my first workout. I am excited to see how things go. It is only 9:30am and already I am at 5630 steps! What a way to start my day! I used to sit my behind on the couch all day and watch tv and mindlessly snack on garbage. Now look at me! Woot Woot!

I also use My Fitness Pal to track food,exercise and weight loss. It's easy and convenient to use.
