I love myfitnesspal. I think I'm actually addicted to logging. It's definitely a way for me to feel in control. I also love the forums over there.

My fitness pal. Love it!!!! The psych doctor I had to see prior to surgery suggested it and said he uses it everyday. Suggested that I use it for the rest of my life. It helps me keep on track , keeps track of my calories as well as my protein and fluid intake. Also tracks exercise! LOVE it!

I have such a hard time getting in all my liquids.... Water Logged is a good app to track water intake.

I use Lose It because I have a Nike+band and they sync.

I just discovered FITTER. Lurve it! Plus it interacts with my Withings scale and my Jawbone UP. woo woo!

I use MFP and fitbit. I really like them together. We have an aria scale by fitbit too that syncs to MFP, together they keep me on track. I have used Lose it in the past and really like it too but MFP is what I have been using since surgery

I started using My Fitness Pal about a month ago and LOVE IT! I am going to see my doctor today for a follow-up, and I love that I can print off the diary so that the doctor can review it - it tracks calories and protein!!

I use myfitnesspal and runtastic together, and a heart rate monitor wrist watch.

But I also really like LoseIt but I don't want to pay $39.99 for the ability to log my Water, etc. I would rather use LoseIt, but like I said, I just use the lite version...

I am addicted to myfitnesspal too though, I love everything even my emergen-c.

I also use My Fitness Pal and Fitbit. To me, they are 2 halves of a whole. I love them! It really helps me to see what constitutes a "good" and a "bad" day. The combination of the 2 proved to me that if I upped my calories occasionally, I often lose weight the next day. Interesting revelation to me.

For the record , I was never able to keep with a food diary in the past but i wouldn't be without it now. They are great accountability tools.

I agree Janet, I was told when I had diabetes (reversed it with the lap-band though) to keep a food diary. Well, it was soooo hard to do before with just paper and stuff (this was in 2008).

So when I got on nutrisystem last year (I did it for almost a year) I used their iphone app to record stuff and got HOOKED.

When I quit nutrisystem, I was so used to it that I can't really live without one now. The control freak in me loves knowing exactly what and how much of every little thing is going into my body. :)
